Food— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be direct and concise. Begin with a clear topic sentence stating the food name, then give one or two specific supporting details (why you like it, how often you eat it). Avoid fillers (umm, I don't know) and incorrect or unclear vocabulary (e.g., paeta → possibly "pupusa," "pozole," or "paella"; choose correct name). Use one linking phrase to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: My favourite food is taco, a Mexican dish I have loved since childhood. I enjoy tacos because of the warm tortilla and the fresh, spicy salsa, and I usually eat them once or twice a week.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence stating what you liked, then give a specific reason or frequency. Remove hesitations and make the sentence grammatically correct (past tense). Use a linking phrase to add detail.

Ejemplo: When I was young, I liked pizza and fried chicken the most. I ate them about five times a week because they were easy to get and my family often ordered them for dinner.

Sugerencia: Avoid asking for thinking time openly; instead pause briefly and then answer. Give a clear direct response (yes/no) and one specific supporting detail about seasons or examples if applicable. Use linking words (however, usually) and correct phrasing (I don't separate seasons for food → I don't change what I eat by season).

Ejemplo: Not really — I don't change my diet much with the seasons. However, in winter I sometimes prefer warm soups and stews, while in summer I choose lighter salads and grilled vegetables.

Sugerencia: Answer directly first (No or Yes), then explain briefly why with a specific reason or example. Use natural phrasing ("childish appetite" is unclear — say "my tastes haven't changed much"). Avoid trailing words like "but sometimes" without explanation.

Ejemplo: No, my favourite foods have not changed much since childhood. I still enjoy pizza, hamburgers and chicken because I like their flavours and they are comfort foods for me.

× My favorite food is umm I don't know the exact name of it. It is paeta which is Mexican food. Umm I have like tortilla since I was very young so I would like to eat.

✓ My favorite food is, um, I don't know the exact name of it. It is paella, which is a Mexican/Spanish dish. I have liked tortillas since I was very young, so I would like to eat them.

Errors: incorrect use of present tense form 'have like' and unclear noun reference. Type 10 (Verb in the present participle form) fits because 'have like' is an incorrect verb phrase and should be 'have liked' (present perfect) to express a preference continuing from the past to present. Also 'tortilla' should be plural 'tortillas' when speaking generally, and 'them' as the object pronoun. Suggestion: use 'have liked' or 'have enjoyed' for actions starting in the past and continuing now; use plural for countable general items and correct pronoun agreement. Note: also corrected 'paeta' to likely 'paella' and clarified as a dish.

× Oh yeah, I I'm sorry. Before I like Yeah, about I liked umm. I like pizza or chicken too, so I ate it five times a week.

✓ Oh yeah, I'm sorry. Before, I liked, umm, I liked pizza and chicken too, so I ate them about five times a week.

Type 5 (Past tense issue): The sentence mixes present 'I like' with past 'I liked' and uses singular 'it' for plural foods. Use past tense 'liked' consistently when referring to past habits and plural pronoun 'them' for multiple foods. Also use 'and' instead of 'or' if meaning both; 'about five times a week' sounds natural for frequency.

× Oh, the best trick question and could you give me some seconds to think please? I think I don't separate the season when what I have to eat, I usually eat it all.

✓ Oh, that's a tricky question. Could you give me a few seconds to think, please? I don't separate seasons when deciding what to eat; I usually eat the same foods all year.

Type 17 (Incorrect use of the definite article) and 26 (Sentence structure errors): 'the best trick question' is incorrect; use 'that's a tricky question.' 'some seconds' is unnatural — use 'a few seconds.' The clause 'I don't separate the season when what I have to eat' is ungrammatical; rephrase to 'I don't separate seasons when deciding what to eat.' Also replace 'it all' with 'the same foods all year' for clarity. Suggestions: use natural article phrases and simplify sentence structure for clarity.

× No, I think I am a childish appetite for food. I'm still liking pizza or chicken and hamburger. So yeah, but sometimes.

✓ No, I think I have a childish appetite for food. I still like pizza, chicken, and hamburgers. Sometimes I do eat other things, though.

Type 13 (Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs): 'I am a childish appetite' is wrong because 'childish' describes a person, not 'appetite.' Use 'have a childish appetite.' 'I'm still liking' is incorrect — stative verbs like 'like' do not take progressive; use 'I still like.' Use plural 'hamburgers' and improve sentence completeness. Suggestion: use 'have' with nouns and avoid continuous form with stative verbs.
