Snacks— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and organized. Start with a clear topic sentence stating typical times, then give one or two specific examples. Reduce fillers (uh, umm) and avoid repeating ideas. Use linking words (for example, also, and) to connect details and keep responses within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I usually have snacks three times a day: mid-morning around 10–12, in the afternoon, and once before bed. For example, mid-morning I often have a smoothie or a small pack of crackers, and in the afternoon I might have a coffee and a piece of fruit.

Sugerencia: Make your opinion clear and support it with specific reasons. Avoid vague phrases and hesitations. Use one linking phrase (because, therefore) to explain benefits, and finish with a concise conclusion. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think regular healthy snacks are beneficial because they keep my energy levels steady between meals and help me concentrate. For example, a small portion of nuts or yogurt prevents tiredness and reduces overeating at dinner.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and compare past and present clearly. Use a linking word (however, now) to show contrast and give one or two specific examples from both times. Remove fillers and keep sentences short and logical.

Ejemplo: Yes. When I was a child I ate snacks many times a day because I was very active and needed quick energy, for example candy or biscuits after school. However, now I only have a few small snacks like a smoothie or some bread during the day.

Sugerencia: List specific snacks clearly and explain why you choose them. Avoid unclear items (e.g. 'eggs or 6') and remove hesitations. Use one linking phrase to give a reason (because, since) and keep response to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I usually choose protein-rich or energizing snacks, such as boiled eggs, a fruit smoothie, or matcha latte, because they give me lasting energy. For instance, a boiled egg and a small smoothie sustain me until lunch without feeling hungry.

× I usually eat snacks in the morning, for example, after a breakfast, probably around 12, I like, uh, to have uh, snacks just uh, probably, umm, few sticks or a coffee or a smoothie and in the afternoon as well and before going bed, so I have.

✓ I usually eat snacks in the morning, for example, after breakfast, probably around 12. I like to have a few sticks, a coffee, or a smoothie. I also have snacks in the afternoon and before going to bed.

The phrase 'after a breakfast' incorrectly uses the indefinite article before an uncountable or general meal noun; use 'after breakfast'. 'Few sticks' needs an article 'a few sticks' to mean some items. 'Before going bed' is missing the preposition 'to' and needs 'going to bed'. Break long run-on sentence into shorter sentences for clarity.

× Yes, I think it's very healthy. It snacks, uh, probably three times per day because you can keep your energy and you can feel more umm, you know, healthy or, uh, with energy to do your activities. I prefer to ensure meals than umm, long.

✓ Yes, I think it's very healthy. I snack probably three times per day because it helps keep your energy and makes you feel more able to do your activities. I prefer regular meals rather than long gaps between them.

'It snacks' is ungrammatical; the subject should be 'I snack'. 'You can keep your energy' is awkward; use 'it helps keep your energy' or 'it helps you keep your energy'. 'Ensure meals than long' is unclear; intended contrast is 'prefer regular meals rather than long gaps'. Sentence restructuring improves clarity and grammaticality.

× Yes, when I was younger, I used to have many snacks per day because I always needed uh, to keep my energy and I was very active when I was younger.

✓ Yes, when I was younger, I used to have many snacks per day because I always needed to keep my energy and I was very active.

Repeating 'when I was younger' is redundant. The tense 'used to have' is correct for past habitual actions; remove repetition for conciseness. Also remove unnecessary filler 'uh' in corrected sentence.

× Uh, however, right now, uh, usually it's a few snacks per day uh like a smoothie or just a few sticks or bread, something like that.

✓ However, right now I usually have a few snacks per day, like a smoothie, a few sticks, or some bread.

'It's a few snacks' incorrectly uses 'it is' with plural 'snacks'; use 'I have' to match subject and verb. Use 'some bread' since 'bread' is uncountable. Remove fillers and simplify for correct present simple usage.

× I like to eat eggs or 6, like I said, or just a smoothie or coffee or a matcha, something like, uh, give me enough energy to, umm, doing the activities that I need to do uh, through in the day.

✓ I like to eat eggs or yogurt, as I said, or just a smoothie, coffee, or matcha—something that gives me enough energy to do the activities I need to during the day.

'Eggs or 6' is unclear and likely a mis-said item; replace with a plausible word such as 'yogurt' or correct numeral usage. 'Give me enough energy to, umm, doing' mixes infinitive and -ing; use the infinitive 'to do'. 'Through in the day' is incorrect preposition use; use 'during the day'. Also match subject-verb agreement: 'something that gives'.

× Umm, yes. I, I really love uh, having a snacks, uh, additionally to my uh, meals.

✓ Yes, I really love having snacks in addition to my meals.

'Having a snacks' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'snacks'; correct to 'having snacks'. 'Additionally to my meals' is non-idiomatic; use 'in addition to my meals'. Remove filler words and duplicate pronouns for clarity.
