Food— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, correct grammar (subject-verb agreement, articles), and expand with one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep to 2–4 sentences.

예시: My favourite food is nasi lemak because the rice is cooked in coconut milk, giving it a rich, aromatic flavour. In addition, I love the combination of spicy sambal and crispy fried chicken, which makes every bite balanced and satisfying.

제안: Use correct tense and sentence structure. Give a direct topic sentence in past tense, then explain with a specific example and reason using a linking phrase like 'for example' or 'because'.

예시: When I was young, I preferred foods that came with soup because they felt light and refreshing. For example, I often ate chicken noodle soup after school, which helped me feel warm and comforted.

제안: Answer directly and clearly. State whether you change your diet by season, then explain reasons concisely with correct grammar and linking words. Provide a brief specific example of seasonal food if possible.

예시: Not really — because I live in a boarding school, I usually eat the meals provided by the dining hall throughout the year. As a result, I only notice small seasonal changes, such as more fruit salads in summer and warmer soups in winter.

제안: Use consistent past/present tense and avoid awkward phrasing. Start with a clear statement, then give specific reasons and a brief example of how your taste changed, using linking words like 'because' or 'as'.

예시: Yes, my favourite food has changed. As a child I couldn't handle spicy flavours, but as I grew older I developed a tolerance and began to enjoy spicier dishes like nasi lemak because they add depth and excitement to the meal.

× My favorite food is nasi lemak because nasi lemak has spicy taste and aromatic smell from coconut milk.

✓ My favorite food is nasi lemak because it has a spicy taste and an aromatic smell from coconut milk.

Missing articles before uncountable/noun phrases and awkward adjective use. 'Spicy taste' and 'aromatic smell' require articles 'a' because they refer to a single characteristic. Also replace the repeated noun 'nasi lemak' with the pronoun 'it' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: Use 'a spicy taste' and 'an aromatic smell' and use pronouns to avoid repetition.

× Other than that, I also like nasi lemak because it come with side dishes such as cucumbers and fried chicken.

✓ Other than that, I also like nasi lemak because it comes with side dishes such as cucumbers and fried chicken.

Subject-verb agreement error: the subject 'it' (third person singular) requires the verb form 'comes' not 'come'. Suggestion: For third person singular subjects use verbs ending in -s (comes, has, is).

× We make it more.

✓ We can eat it with more side dishes.

Original sentence is vague and ungrammatical. It lacks a clear meaning and appropriate verb. 'Make it more' is incorrect structure. Suggested correction clarifies intended meaning: likely referring to adding more side dishes or making the meal more substantial. Use modal 'can' or a clearer verb like 'eat' or 'add' depending on intended idea.

× When I was young, I more like to eat some food that come with soup.

✓ When I was young, I preferred to eat foods that came with soup.

Tense and word choice errors: 'When I was young' sets past context so verbs should be past tense. 'More like' is incorrect; use 'preferred'. 'Some food' should be plural 'foods' or 'food that came with soup'. 'Come' should be past 'came'. Suggestion: Use past forms (preferred, came) and pluralize as needed.

× This is because it make me feel refreshing after enjoying it.

✓ This is because it made me feel refreshed after eating it.

Multiple issues: tense consistency (past 'made' not 'make'), adjective/adverb choice ('refreshing' describes something that causes refreshment; the correct passive feeling is 'refreshed'), and 'enjoying' is unnatural here—use 'eating'. Suggestion: Match past tense and choose 'refreshed' to describe the speaker's feeling.

× As I'm living in boarding school, I really enjoy different type of food of the year.

✓ As I'm living in a boarding school, I don't really experience different types of food throughout the year.

Pronoun and article issues plus meaning clarity: 'living in boarding school' needs article 'a boarding school' in English. 'Enjoy different type of food of the year' is ungrammatical and unclear—likely intends that the speaker does not experience seasonal variety. I corrected to a natural sentence matching likely meaning. Suggestion: Use articles ('a boarding school'), pluralize 'types', and use clearer verbs ('experience' or 'eat') and time expressions ('throughout the year') to express seasonal variation.

× This is because it a bit hard for me to get access from outside.

✓ This is because it is a bit hard for me to get access to outside food.

Missing verb 'is' and article placement; 'get access from outside' is incorrect preposition usage—should be 'get access to' and specify 'outside food' to clarify. Suggestion: Include the verb 'is', use 'a bit' correctly, and use 'access to' plus the object of access.

× So rather than enjoy different type of food, I just enjoy food that has been preferred prepared by dining hall.

✓ So rather than enjoying different types of food, I just eat the food that the dining hall usually prepares.

Awkward structure and word choice: 'rather than enjoy' should be 'rather than enjoying' or 'instead of enjoying'. 'Different type' should be plural 'different types'. 'Has been preferred prepared' is ungrammatical—likely meant 'usually prepares' or 'prefers to prepare'. Suggestion: Use gerund after 'rather than', pluralize 'types', and use a clear verb phrase like 'the dining hall usually prepares'.

× Yes it has.

✓ Yes, it has.

Minor punctuation: missing comma after introductory 'Yes'. While not a subject-verb agreement error grammatically, adding the comma improves clarity. Suggestion: Include comma after interjection 'Yes'.

× When I was a child I cannot eat food that has spicy taste because I'm not able to control it.

✓ When I was a child I could not eat food that had a spicy taste because I wasn't able to tolerate it.

Tense inconsistency: 'When I was a child' requires past modal 'could not' not present 'cannot'. Also 'has spicy taste' should be past 'had a spicy taste' and article 'a' needed. 'Not able to control it' is unclear—use 'unable to tolerate it' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: Use past modal 'could', past tense verbs, and precise verbs like 'tolerate'.

× But when I'm getting older I started to like more.

✓ But as I got older, I started to like it more.

Mixed tenses and unnatural progressive: 'When I'm getting older' mixes present progressive with past 'started'. Use past time clause 'as I got older'. Add object 'it' after 'like' and place 'more' after the verb for natural word order. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent in past narratives and use 'like it more'.
