× My favorite food is chicken sandwiches and deep fry chicken with extra sauce.
✓ My favorite foods are chicken sandwiches and deep-fried chicken with extra sauce.
The subject 'My favorite food' lists two items, so the noun should be plural ('foods') or rephrase. Also 'deep fry chicken' is incorrect form: use adjective 'deep-fried' before 'chicken'. Use hyphenated adjective 'deep-fried' and plural agreement 'are' for compound subject.
× Umm, the food I like when I was young includes fast food.
✓ Umm, the food I liked when I was young included fast food.
The main clause refers to the past ('when I was young'), so verbs should be in past tense: 'like' -> 'liked' and 'includes' -> 'included'. Maintain consistent past tense to match the time frame.
× Yes I do. I eat different foods at different times of the year because it shows different months with different seasons.
✓ Yes, I do. I eat different foods at different times of the year because different months have different seasons.
The phrase 'it shows different months with different seasons' is awkward and ungrammatical. Use present simple 'have' to state a general fact: 'different months have different seasons.' Also add a comma after 'Yes' for natural speech pacing.
× Yes, I also think that because I watch myself how I had grown up when I was just a child, I used to like eating fast food, pizza, burgers, et cetera, others and.
✓ Yes. I also think that when I look back at how I grew up as a child, I used to like eating fast food such as pizza and burgers.
The original sentence has multiple structural problems: incorrect tense sequence ('had grown up' is unnecessary), awkward phrasing ('watch myself how I had grown up'), and redundant/incorrect list ending ('et cetera, others and'). Use 'when I look back' or 'when I think about' and simple past 'grew up' to describe past development. Replace 'et cetera, others and' with 'such as' and list examples. Break into clearer clauses and remove extra conjunctions.
