Food— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details (e.g., a dish and why you like it). Avoid repetition and irrelevant comparisons. Use linking words like because or for example to make your answer coherent.

Ejemplo: My favourite food is Moroccan cuisine because my mother is Moroccan and she cooks traditional dishes for our family. For example, I love tagine for its rich spices and tender meat, and couscous because it is comforting and full of vegetables.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear topic sentence then explain with specific details and use linking words. Avoid fragmented sentences and vague phrases like "like" or "really". Mention examples of foods and a brief reason for change to show coherence.

Ejemplo: When I was young I mostly ate junk food, such as burgers, fries and candy. Because of that I gained weight, so now I try to eat more balanced meals and exercise regularly to stay healthy.

Sugerencia: Give a clear direct answer and then one or two specific seasonal examples. Use correct verb forms and linking words (for example, however). Avoid repeating words and finish sentences fully.

Ejemplo: Yes, I eat different foods depending on the season. For example, in summer I enjoy fresh fruits and salads like watermelon and cucumber, while in winter I prefer warm dishes such as soups and stews to keep warm.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and give specific examples of how tastes changed. Use clear tense and avoid repeating words. Explain briefly why the change happened (e.g., health, exposure) using linking words like because or since.

Ejemplo: Yes, my taste has changed since childhood. I used to dislike vegetables, but over time I began to enjoy them because I learned about their health benefits and my mother taught me tasty ways to prepare them, such as roasted carrots and mixed salads.

× My favorite food is Moroccan food, my mom's Morocco and she always cooks for me when I was old and I love it.

✓ My favorite food is Moroccan cuisine; my mom is Moroccan and she always cooked for me when I was young, and I love it.

The sentence contains several errors: 'Morocco' is a noun (country) but needs an adjective 'Moroccan' to describe the mother (adjective use). 'When I was old' is incorrect for childhood timing; use 'when I was young'. Tense consistency: 'she always cooks for me when I was young' mixes present and past; change to 'she always cooked for me when I was young' or keep present 'she always cooks for me' with 'when I was young' in past is inconsistent. I corrected to past 'cooked' to match 'when I was young'. Also 'food' repeated is awkward, so 'cuisine' is more natural. Suggestion: ensure correct adjective forms (Moroccan), use appropriate time expressions ('young' for childhood), and keep verb tenses consistent across the clause.

× It's definitely the best in the world in my opinion and that's probably the reason why they making like so much so much like a cooking book about the American food.

✓ It's definitely the best in the world in my opinion, and that's probably why they are making so many cookbooks about American food.

The original has subject-verb agreement and countability issues: 'they making' lacks auxiliary; correct form is 'they are making' (present continuous). 'so much so much like a cooking book' is ungrammatical—'so many cookbooks' is correct because 'cookbook' is countable. Also 'about the American food' should be 'about American food' (article unnecessary). Suggestion: use appropriate auxiliaries for continuous tenses, choose correct plural or quantifier for countable nouns ('many' + plural), and omit unnecessary articles.

× You should try it definitely.

✓ You should definitely try it.

The adverb placement is awkward; 'definitely' should come before the main verb or after the modal: 'You should definitely try it.' The modal 'should' is correct for giving advice. Suggestion: place adverbs in natural positions (modal + adverb + base verb).

× Well, I will just repeat myself.

✓ Well, I'll just repeat myself.

The learner used 'I will' which is acceptable, but in spoken English contraction 'I'll' is more natural. No tense error; this is stylistic. Suggestion: use contractions in conversational responses to sound natural.

× The kind of food I liked when I was young was mostly like junk food.

✓ The kind of food I liked when I was young was mostly junk food.

'Like' is used redundantly and informally. Tense 'liked' and 'was' are correctly in the past. Removing 'like' yields a grammatically correct sentence. Suggestion: avoid filler 'like' in descriptions.

× Actually. I used to eat really bad and I get so much fat.

✓ Actually, I used to eat really badly and I gained a lot of weight.

'Eat really bad' uses 'bad' (adjective) where adverb 'badly' modifies the verb 'eat'. 'I get so much fat' mixes present tense and unnatural phrasing; use past 'I gained a lot of weight' for past habits. Suggestion: use adverbs to modify verbs and select natural collocations ('gain weight').

× That's probably the reason why I'm trying to be more healthy and more aware of like my fitness journey and what I'm eating.

✓ That's probably the reason why I'm trying to be healthier and more aware of my fitness journey and what I eat.

'More healthy' is acceptable but 'healthier' is the comparative adjective form and more natural. 'Aware of like my fitness journey' contains informal filler 'like' and redundant 'my'; remove 'like' and keep 'my fitness journey'. 'What I'm eating' is present continuous; 'what I eat' is more natural for general diet habits. Suggestion: use comparative forms (healthier), avoid filler words 'like', and choose appropriate tense for habitual actions.

× Yeah, definitely depend on the season.

✓ Yeah, it definitely depends on the season.

The sentence lacks subject pronoun 'it' and has incorrect verb agreement 'depend' should be 'depends' for third-person singular. Suggestion: include the dummy subject 'it' for impersonal expressions and ensure subject-verb agreement.

× Example, if I'm in the summertime, we eat food more like fresh, refreshing like watermelon, like salad.

✓ For example, if it's summertime, we eat fresher, more refreshing foods like watermelon and salad.

The original is disfluent with multiple 'like' fillers and incorrect adjective order. Use 'for example' and 'if it's summertime' (dummy 'it'). 'Fresher, more refreshing foods' uses correct comparative/adjective forms and plural 'foods' to match examples. Remove repeated 'like'. Suggestion: avoid filler 'like', use proper adjective forms and pluralization when listing items.

× But during summer, during winter time atmosphere, you eat like something more warm that's going to keep me more like warm and.

✓ But in winter, you eat warmer foods that will keep you warm.

The sentence mixes seasons and persons and uses 'like' fillers. 'During summer, during winter time atmosphere' is contradictory—use 'in winter'. 'Something more warm' should be 'warmer foods'. Pronoun shifts: original 'me' should be 'you' to match general statement. 'That's going to keep me more like warm and' is incomplete; simplify to 'that will keep you warm.' Suggestion: maintain consistent person, avoid fillers, and use comparative adjectives ('warmer') with appropriate nouns.

× My food change and my taste change.

✓ My food changed and my taste changed.

The student intended to describe a past change; therefore past tense 'changed' is required rather than present 'change'. Suggestion: use past tense to describe past changes.

× Actually I noticed it because I started to eat more veggies in my diet when when I was younger I wasn't really, I wasn't really in love with like vegetables.

✓ Actually, I noticed it because I started to eat more vegetables in my diet; when I was younger I wasn't really in love with vegetables.

Redundant 'when when' and filler 'like' removed. Use 'vegetables' instead of informal 'veggies' for formal clarity (both acceptable in speech). The pronoun and clause structure improved by splitting into two clauses. Suggestion: avoid repetition and filler words, and use clear clause boundaries.

× I really hated actually and I love it.

✓ I really hated them before, but now I love them.

Mixed tenses and unclear object: 'I really hated actually' is incomplete; add object 'them' (vegetables), and contrast past dislike with present liking using 'but now' and present 'love'. Suggestion: explicitly state the object and use contrastive connectors to show change of preference.
