Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clearer and more grammatical. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid confusion and filler. For example, correct grammar ("My favourite food is nasi lemak") and explain why with specific sensory details (flavour, aroma) and mention side dishes succinctly.

Example: My favourite food is nasi lemak. I love its spicy sambal and the rich, aromatic coconut rice. In addition, it usually comes with side dishes such as a boiled egg, cucumber slices and crispy fried chicken, which add different textures to the meal.

Suggestion: Use past tense consistently and be concise. Begin with a clear topic sentence about childhood preference, then give two specific reasons using linking words (because, so). Correct pronoun and word order errors and avoid repetition.

Example: When I was young, I liked fried rice. This was because it was quick and easy to prepare, and it did not require any hard‑to‑find ingredients. Therefore my busy mother could make it often for our family.

Suggestion: Answer directly and simply. State whether you do or do not, then explain with two clear reasons using linking words (because, so, however). Avoid awkward phrases and fillers like "despite of that." Be specific about limitations (e.g., campus cafeteria, seasonal availability).

Example: No, I usually do not eat very different foods at different times of the year. Because I live and work on campus, I mainly eat in the cafeteria, so seasonal ingredients are rarely available. However, I try to enjoy whatever is served and occasionally buy seasonal snacks when I can.

Suggestion: Be concise and use correct tense and clear reasons. Start with a direct statement (Yes/No), then explain how and why, using linking words (because, but, as a result). Avoid filler words and repetition of words like "spicy" and unclear questions within the answer.

Example: Yes, my favourite food has changed. When I was a child I preferred fried rice because I could not tolerate very spicy food. But as I grew older, I learned to enjoy stronger flavours, so I started to like nasi lemak for its spicy sambal and rich coconut rice.

× 'I like the spiciness of it tastes an aromatic smell.'

✓ 'I like its spiciness and aromatic smell.'

'the spiciness of it tastes an aromatic smell' incorrectly mixes noun, verb and noun phrase. Use possessive pronoun "its" with nouns and join related qualities with "and". Suggestion: use adjectives or nouns correctly and avoid redundant verbs like "tastes" when describing smell.'

× 'Other than that, I also like I see the mop because it has side dishes such as egg, cucumbers, and fried chicken.'

✓ 'Other than that, I also like nasi lemak because it has side dishes such as egg, cucumber, and fried chicken.'

'I also like I see the mop' is garbled and unclear. Replace with the intended noun 'nasi lemak'. Use singular noun form 'egg' or list consistently 'eggs' and 'cucumber' should be singular if treated as a category. Ensure sentence has a clear subject and verb.'

× 'Which meat?'

✓ 'Which meat do you mean?'

'Which meat?' is a fragment and sounds abrupt. Adding 'do you mean' completes the question and uses the correct auxiliary and pronoun reference.'

× 'When I was young I like to eat fried rice.'

✓ 'When I was young I liked to eat fried rice.'

The time expression 'when I was young' requires past tense. Use 'liked' not 'like' to match the past time reference.'

× 'This is because it easy to prepare and it not required an ingredient that hard to find.'

✓ 'This was because it was easy to prepare and did not require ingredients that were hard to find.'

Mixed present and incorrect forms with past context. Use past tense verbs 'was' and 'did not require' and plural 'ingredients' to match meaning. Also add 'were' before 'hard to find'.'

× 'Other than that it is the simplest food that my mom can make as he as she is a busy person.'

✓ 'Also, it was the simplest food my mom could make because she was a busy person.'

'as he as she' is incorrect and confusing. Use a single pronoun 'she' to refer to mom and match past tense 'was' and 'could' for ability. Simplify structure by using 'because' to state reason.'

× 'As I'm living in working school, it's difficult to eat different types of food offers.'

✓ 'Because I live and work at school, it's difficult to get different types of food.'

Phrase 'living in working school' is ungrammatical. Clarify intended meaning 'live and work at school'. 'Food offers' is unnatural; use 'different types of food' or 'different kinds of food'.'

× 'This is because it's a bit hard to get access from outside.'

✓ 'This is because it's a bit hard to get access to food from outside.'

The original misuse of 'get access from outside' is unclear. Use 'get access to' and specify object, e.g. 'get access to food from outside.' Alternatively say 'access from outside is limited.' '

× 'Other than that, despite of that, I just enjoy everything that has been.'

✓ 'Other than that, despite that, I just enjoy whatever is available.'

'Despite of that' is incorrect (use 'despite' or 'in spite of'). 'Everything that has been' is incomplete. Replace with 'whatever is available' for clarity.'

× 'Yes it has.'

✓ 'Yes, it has.'

'Yes it has' requires a comma after 'Yes' for natural speech punctuation; tense is fine as present perfect referring to change since childhood.'

× 'When I was young I more prefer to eat fried rice rather than nasi lemak because it is spicy and so so spicy.'

✓ 'When I was young I preferred to eat fried rice rather than nasi lemak because it was less spicy.'

Mix of past context with incorrect comparative phrasing. Use past tense 'preferred'. 'Because it is spicy and so so spicy' is redundant; clarify as 'because nasi lemak was spicier' or 'because it was less spicy' depending on intended meaning. I used 'less spicy' to explain preference for fried rice.'

× 'So, uh, but am I getting older? I began to eat.'

✓ 'But as I got older, I began to eat it.'

Colloquial filler 'So, uh' and wrong question 'am I getting older?' are inappropriate. Use clear past-time clause 'as I got older' and complete the verb with object 'it' (referring to nasi lemak).
