Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clear and direct: state the favourite food first, then give one or two specific reasons using linking words. Reduce hesitations and avoid unclear words. Use correct nouns (e.g., “rice”, “hot pot”) and a maximum of 4–5 sentences.

Example: My favourite food is hot pot. I like it because it is spicy and you can try many different ingredients like meat, vegetables and seafood. Also, eating hot pot is sociable since friends gather around and cook together.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence in past tense, then give specific details (e.g., tastes, brands, reasons). Use linking words like “because” or “so” and correct brand names. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: When I was young, I loved hamburgers. I enjoyed them because they were convenient and tasty, especially from McDonald’s and Burger King.

Suggestion: Answer the question directly and give clear examples for different seasons with linking words (e.g., “In winter, I eat…; in summer, I prefer…”). Be specific about foods and reasons, avoid incomplete sentences.

Example: Yes. In winter I prefer spicy foods like dishes with chili or hot soups because they feel warming. In summer I choose lighter meals such as salads and cold noodles to stay cool.

Suggestion: Use a clear statement about change or no change, then support it with specific reasons and a brief personal example. Use correct tense and avoid fillers like “umm”. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Example: No, my favourite food has not changed — I still love seafood. I grew up in Shantou, a coastal city, so fresh seafood was always available and I learned to enjoy many dishes from a young age.

× 'I'm very crazy of her part Umm uh, there are so many there variety of ties.'

✓ 'I'm not sure what to say. There are so many varieties.'

'Crazy of her part' is ungrammatical and unclear; 'there are so many there variety of ties' has word order and noun form errors. Use a clear subject and verb and correct plural form: "there are" + plural noun "varieties". Also remove filler words or replace with "I'm not sure what to say" to be coherent.'

× 'Ties of a rise of ties of hope for like spicy hot food, hot pot junction hot pot sun hopper.'

✓ 'I like spicy hot food, such as hot pot.'

'Ties of a rise of ties of hope for like' is incoherent and contains incorrect word choices. Simplify to a correct noun phrase: adjective + noun ("spicy hot food") and give an example introduced by "such as". Remove invented words like "junction" and "sun hopper".'

× 'What kind of food did you like when you were young? Student: Hamburger is my favorite food when I was a teenager and it is very delicious.'

✓ 'When I was a teenager, hamburgers were my favorite food and they were very delicious.'

'Hamburger is my favorite food when I was a teenager' mixes present tense with a past time reference. Use past tense "were" for both the state and description. Also pluralize "hamburger" to "hamburgers" when speaking generally, and use pronoun agreement "they were".'

× 'My favorite brand is Hamburger, Burger hand and McDonald's.'

✓ 'My favorite brands are Burger King and McDonald's.'

'Brand' should be plural "brands" to list more than one. "Burger hand" is likely a mispronunciation; replace with a known brand like "Burger King." Use 'are' for plural subject.'

× 'Yes, of course I love eating. I love eating pepper in winter, which provides warm and. Variety in great one.'

✓ 'Yes, of course I love eating. I like eating peppers in winter because they make me feel warm and provide variety.'

'I love eating pepper in winter' needs plural "peppers" for the general habit. "Which provides warm and. Variety in great one" is fragmented and incorrect. Combine into a full sentence with a clear clause: "because they make me feel warm and provide variety." Use present simple for habitual actions.'

× 'I haven't change.'

✓ 'I haven't changed.'

'Change' should be past participle "changed" after the auxiliary "have" to form the present perfect tense. The correct negative present perfect form is "I haven't changed."'

× 'I love seafood since I was a child, umm, I was born in Shantou, a coastal city, umm so there are a wide variety of seafood which were fresh and I grew up eating.'

✓ 'I have loved seafood since I was a child. I was born in Shantou, a coastal city, so there was a wide variety of fresh seafood that I grew up eating.'

'I love seafood since I was a child' should use present perfect "have loved" for an action continuing from the past to now. "There are a wide variety" has number agreement and tense issues: use "there was a wide variety" when describing the past environment, and adjective order "fresh seafood" is correct. Use "that I grew up eating" for the relative clause. Also replace "which were fresh" with "fresh" before the noun or use "that were fresh."'}]}
