Food— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Improve fluency by reducing fillers (uh, umm) and be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Use accurate collocations (e.g., “salad bars” or “salad bowls”) and correct grammar (“it feels healthy” -> “they make me feel healthy” or “they are healthy”).

Ejemplo: My favourite food is salads, especially large salad bowls. Recently I often go to salad bars because they offer a variety of fresh vegetables and healthy dressings, and they make me feel more energetic.

Sugerencia: Answer directly with a clear topic sentence and specific examples. Avoid repetition and fillers. Use linking words to explain why you liked those foods as a child (e.g., “because” or “for example”). Use correct vocabulary (say “crisps” or “fried potatoes” clearly) and limit to up to five sentences.

Ejemplo: When I was young, I liked sweet and salty snacks. For example, I often ate crisps and french fries because they tasted good and were easy to share with my friends.

Sugerencia: Give a full, coherent answer with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific seasonal examples using linking words (e.g., “for instance”, “in contrast”). Avoid trailing off—finish your sentences and be specific about summer foods (e.g., cold salads or iced drinks).

Ejemplo: Yes, I eat different foods throughout the year. For instance, in winter I enjoy rice cakes during New Year celebrations, while in summer I prefer cold dishes like chilled noodles and fruit salads to stay cool.

Sugerencia: Provide a complete, structured response: topic sentence stating change, then reasons with linking words (e.g., “because”, “so”), and a specific example of current preference. Avoid trailing off and reduce hesitations. Keep it concise and natural.

Ejemplo: Yes, my favourite foods have changed. As a child I ate a lot of sweets and salty snacks because I didn’t think about health, but now I prefer healthier options like salads and fruits because I care more about my diet and energy levels.

× My favorite food is uh, bananas and I like umm, uh, salad, salad bowls.

✓ My favorite foods are bananas, and I like salad bowls.

Singular/plural and subject-verb agreement: 'food' when referring to multiple items should be 'foods' or rephrase; listing multiple items requires plural or separate phrasing. Also use plural verb agreement with compound subject when appropriate. Suggestion: use 'My favorite foods are...' or 'My favorite food is banana' for singular preference. Use commas to separate items.

× Uh yeah. I recently, uh, frequently go to salad bowls restaurants and it is very feel healthy.

✓ I recently have been going to salad bowl restaurants frequently, and they make me feel very healthy.

Present tense / sentence structure: 'recently frequently go' is awkward; use present perfect continuous 'have been going' for recent repeated actions. 'Salad bowls restaurants' is incorrect noun phrase—use 'salad bowl restaurants' or 'salad-bar restaurants'. 'It is very feel healthy' mixes verb forms; use 'they make me feel very healthy' or 'I feel very healthy.' Suggestion: use correct verb tense and clear subject (they) for plural restaurants.

× What kind of food did you like when you were young? -> I liked, umm, sweet tooth and salty foods Yeah, I I especially liked salty food, uh, such as fried potatoes, you know, crisps crisps, but and yeah and.

✓ I liked sweet and salty foods. I especially liked salty foods such as fried potatoes and crisps.

Past tense: original contains repetition and filler words; 'sweet tooth' is a noun phrase meaning a craving, not a type of food—use 'sweet foods' or say 'I had a sweet tooth.' Ensure plural agreement 'salty foods' and parallel structure 'fried potatoes and crisps.' Remove fillers for clarity.

× I think so, yeah, in, in winter I eat, umm, rice cakes. Yeah, during, uh, during New Year's, New Year's off. And in summer I eat more, umm, cold and.

✓ I think so. In winter I eat rice cakes, especially during New Year. In summer I eat more cold foods.

Present tense / sentence structure: repetitive fillers and incomplete phrases ('cold and.') Complete the idea with 'cold foods.' 'New Year's off' is unclear—use 'during New Year' or 'during the New Year holiday.' Keep tense consistent and finish sentences.

× Yes, I think so uh, when I was a child, I never worried about my health, so I, I eat, I ate umm, any food I wanted to eat, uh, such as sweet food or salty food. But recently I.

✓ Yes, I think so. When I was a child, I never worried about my health, so I ate any food I wanted, such as sweet or salty foods. But recently I have been more careful about what I eat.

Past tense consistency: mix of present 'eat' and past 'ate' is incorrect—use past tense 'ate' for childhood habits. The final fragment 'But recently I.' is incomplete—complete the contrast using present perfect 'have been' to show change up to now. Use concise phrasing 'such as sweet or salty foods.'
