Food— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be clear and concise. Start with a direct topic sentence naming one favourite food, then give 1–2 specific supporting details (why you like it, how it’s made or when you eat it). Avoid unclear or invented words and reduce hesitation. Use simple linking words (for example, because, and) to connect ideas. Pronounce the food name clearly or briefly describe it if it’s uncommon.

Ejemplo: My favourite food is grilled fish because it’s a traditional dish in my country and I grew up eating it. I like it because the flesh is tender and it’s usually seasoned with garlic and lime. Also, my family cooks it at celebrations, so it reminds me of home.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence naming the childhood favourite, then describe specific ingredients or flavours and explain why you liked it. Use linking words (for example, because, and, so) to make the answer coherent. Reduce hesitations and avoid vague phrases like “involved” — say the ingredients directly.

Ejemplo: When I was young I loved a stew called Palau because it combined carrots, onions and fragrant oil. I enjoyed it because the vegetables made it sweet and the spices gave it a warm flavour, so it felt comforting after school.

Sugerencia: Don’t say you don’t understand; try to answer briefly or ask the examiner to repeat. If you understand, give a short direct answer (Yes or No) and provide one specific example of seasonal food or occasion eating. Use linking words if giving additional detail.

Ejemplo: Yes. My family eats lighter, cold salads in summer but more hearty soups and stews in winter because the weather is colder. For example, we often eat pumpkin stew in autumn during harvest time.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and give a clear comparison between past and present favourites. Start with a topic sentence (Yes, it has changed), then explain what you liked before and what you prefer now, with reasons and one specific detail. Keep it concise and reduce repetition.

Ejemplo: Yes, it has changed. As a child I loved puff pastry snacks because they were sweet and easy to eat, but now I prefer savoury dishes like grilled fish because I enjoy stronger flavours and healthier meals.

× Especially my favorite food is fish farm work.

✓ My favorite food is fish and seafood.

Original sentence is ungrammatical and unclear ('fish farm work' is incorrect noun phrase). This is a sentence structure error: the subject and predicate were not formed correctly. Replace with a clear noun phrase and simple structure: 'My favorite food is fish and seafood.' Use consistent vocabulary and avoid literal translations.

× Uh, it is uh, popular in my country because it is uh, traditional food in my country and other food is in my country.

✓ It is popular in my country because it is a traditional food here.

The sentence repeats and misuses articles and phrases. Use the article 'a' before 'traditional food' and remove redundant phrases. Simplify to one clear clause: 'It is popular in my country because it is a traditional food here.'

× And my favorite food is Monte Palo and uh, Penguin.

✓ Also, my favorite dishes are Monte Palo and Penguin.

The original mixes singular/plural and uses strange nouns. Use 'dishes are' for multiple items and 'Also' as a better connector. Ensure correct nouns for food names; keep plural agreement when listing items.

× I like it Palau when I was young because it is my favorite food and it is involved, uh, carrot, onion oil and uh, raise each other.

✓ I liked Palau when I was young because it was my favorite food and it included carrots, onions, and oil.

Tense inconsistency: question asks about past, so use past tense 'liked' and 'was' instead of present. Also 'included' is the correct verb for listing ingredients; use plural nouns 'carrots' and 'onions.' Remove unclear phrase 'raise each other.'

× I don't understand your question.

✓ I don't understand the question.

The original is acceptable but slightly informal. For succinctness, use 'I don't understand the question.' No major grammar error; this suggestion improves clarity and formality.

× Yes, of course. Uh, when I was child, my favorite food is Puff and I like it and it is my favorite food of course.

✓ Yes, of course. When I was a child, my favorite food was puff pastry and I liked it.

Tense and article errors: refer to childhood with 'a child' and use past tense 'was' and 'liked' to match 'when I was a child.' 'Puff' is vague; 'puff pastry' clarifies the food. Remove redundant phrases for conciseness.
