× Get galleries.
✓ It brings back memories.
The phrase 'Get galleries.' is a fragment and does not make sense in context. This is a sentence structure error (fragment). Replace with a complete clause that expresses the intended idea. Suggestion: 'It brings back memories.' or 'It reminds me of family gatherings.'
× I enjoy them not only for the taste and comforting texture, but also for the family memorial.
✓ I enjoy them not only for the taste and comforting texture, but also for their family significance.
'Family memorial' is incorrect word choice and sounds unnatural; this is an incorrect use of adjectives/nouns. The intended meaning is that dumplings have family significance or sentimental value. Use 'family significance' or 'sentimental value' to convey this clearly.
× Yes, my taste have changed since I became an adult.
✓ Yes, my tastes have changed since I became an adult.
'Taste' used here refers to preferences and should be plural 'tastes' to agree with the plural verb 'have'. This is a subject-verb agreement/number issue. Alternatively, keep singular with singular verb: 'Yes, my taste has changed.'
× I now prefer sweeter foods more often.
✓ I now prefer sweeter foods.
The phrase 'prefer ... more often' is redundant and awkward: 'prefer' already expresses a comparative preference, while 'more often' suggests frequency. This is a sentence structure/style issue. Use 'I now prefer sweeter foods.' or if you mean frequency: 'I now eat sweeter foods more often.'
× For example, in winter I tend to eat hearty soups and dumplings to stay warm, while in summer I choose light.
✓ For example, in winter I tend to eat hearty soups and dumplings to stay warm, while in summer I choose lighter foods.
'Choose light' is incomplete; 'light' is an adjective that needs a noun, e.g., 'light foods' or the comparative adjective 'lighter' modifying 'foods'. This is a sentence structure error. Use 'choose lighter foods' or 'choose light meals.'
