Snacks— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more natural and grammatically correct. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add a brief reason using a linking word. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and correct tense (present simple).

Exemplo: I usually have snacks on Sundays. I have more free time then, so I like to relax and enjoy a treat in the afternoon.

Sugestão: Give a clear opinion and support it with a reason and a linking word. Avoid absolute statements; be specific about types or frequency. Use condition or contrast words like 'however' or 'but'.

Exemplo: I don’t think snacking is very healthy; however, if I limit it to once a week and choose healthier options, it shouldn’t harm my health.

Sugestão: Use correct past tense and expand slightly with a reason or example. Begin with a clear topic sentence in past simple, then add a short supporting detail with a linking word like 'because' or 'for example'.

Exemplo: Yes, I often ate snacks when I was young because my parents sometimes rewarded me with sweets after school.

Sugestão: Answer directly using present simple for habits and add a specific detail or preference. Use a linking word to add variety (for example, 'especially' or 'usually').

Exemplo: I like to eat chips, especially salty potato chips. Sometimes I choose baked or lightly salted ones because they taste good and are a bit healthier.

× I usually eat snacks on Sunday because on Sunday I was free.

✓ I usually eat snacks on Sundays because on Sundays I am free.

Tense and habitual time expressions: The student uses 'usually' which indicates a habitual action and should be in the present simple ('eat'). Use plural 'Sundays' for regular weekly events. The second clause should also be present simple ('am free') to match the habitual meaning. Suggestion: say 'I usually eat snacks on Sundays because I'm free on Sundays.'

× Yes, I eat snacks when I was young.

✓ Yes, I ate snacks when I was young.

Past time reference requires past simple: 'when I was young' indicates a past period, so the verb describing past habit must be past simple ('ate'), not present simple ('eat'). Suggestion: use 'ate' for past habits or 'used to eat' for repeated past actions: 'Yes, I used to eat snacks when I was young.'

× I would like to eat chips.

✓ I like to eat chips.

Question asks about general preference in the present. 'Would like' expresses a polite desire (e.g., at the moment or as an offer) rather than a habitual preference. For stating likes, use present simple 'I like'. Suggestion: answer with 'I like chips' or 'I like to eat chips' for general preference.

× Eating snacks is not healthy, but once a week is enough for our health.

✓ Eating snacks is not healthy, but once a week is enough for your health.

Pronoun and perspective consistency and present-tense general statement: The general statement 'Eating snacks is not healthy' is fine in present simple. However, 'our health' is less appropriate when the question asks about the student's own habits; 'your health' or 'one's health' is clearer. Also keep present simple. Suggestion: use 'is' for general truths and choose the correct pronoun, e.g., '...but once a week is enough for your health.'
