Snacks— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be direct and concise: start with a clear topic sentence stating the time, then add one short reason using a linking word. Avoid fillers and unclear phrases. Also correct grammar (e.g., "my energy drops" or "I feel more tired"). Keep it to 1–2 sentences.

Exemplo: I usually eat snacks in the evening because my energy drops after dinner and I need a light boost. For example, I often have a piece of fruit or a yogurt to keep me going.

Sugestão: Give a clear opinion then support it with specific examples and linking words. Fix vocabulary and grammar (e.g., "nutrient-rich" not "nutrient nutrients"). Avoid overgeneralisation; contrast healthy vs unhealthy options briefly.

Exemplo: I think it depends on the snack: some are healthy while others are not. For instance, nutrient-rich snacks like nuts, fruit, or dark chocolate provide vitamins and healthy fats, whereas sugary chips and candy are not good for you.

Sugestão: Answer directly and organize chronologically: state frequency, give a reason or example, and avoid repetition. Correct grammar ("I ate" not "I everyday ate") and use linking words like "because" or "so" appropriately.

Exemplo: Yes, I ate snacks almost every day when I was young because my mother always prepared them for me. For example, she often gave me chocolates or cookies in the evening.

Sugestão: Give a clear current preference and contrast past behaviour with a linking phrase. Avoid informal or vague words like "freaking" and correct tense and phrasing ("I used to eat donuts frequently"; "I try to eat them less now"). Keep to two sentences max.

Exemplo: I really like donuts and used to eat them very frequently in the past. However, now I try to eat them less often because I prioritise my health and choose healthier snacks instead.

× I eat snacks in the evening and because.

✓ I eat snacks in the evening because I feel tired then.

The original sentence is fragmented and uses 'because' without completing the clause (sentence structure error) and the verb tense should be simple present to describe habitual action. Combine clauses into one complete sentence: 'I eat snacks in the evening because I feel tired then.' Use a clear reason after 'because' rather than placing 'because' at the end.

× I feel like, uh, my energy got to degrees at that moment.

✓ I feel like my energy drops at that time.

The phrase 'got to degrees' is ungrammatical and unclear. To describe a decrease in energy in the present habitual context, use simple present 'drops' and a clear time expression 'at that time' or 'then.' Avoid filler 'uh' in written corrections.

× If the snacks contains a lot of nutrient nutrients such as high cocoa, chocolate or some nuts or fruits, it makes you healthy.

✓ If the snacks contain a lot of nutrients such as high-cocoa chocolate, nuts, or fruits, they can be healthy for you.

Errors: 'contains' disagrees with plural 'snacks' (subject-verb agreement) and 'nutrient nutrients' is redundant. Use plural 'contain' and plural 'nutrients.' Also revise word order and article use: 'high-cocoa chocolate' or 'dark chocolate with high cocoa content.' Use 'they can be healthy' to match plural subject and to add appropriate modality.

× Yes, almost every day.

✓ Yes, almost every day when I was young.

The examiner asked about the past. The reply should clearly mark past habitual action by adding 'when I was young' or using past tense context. Standalone 'Yes, almost every day.' is acceptable in spoken language but to be explicit and grammatically parallel with the question, include the past-time phrase.

× My mother always prepared snacks for me, so just chocolates or cookies.

✓ My mother always prepared snacks for me, usually just chocolates or cookies.

Place the adverb 'usually' appropriately to modify the list and make the coordination smoother. 'So just' is informal and awkward; use 'usually' or 'mostly' to clarify frequency.

× So yes, I everyday ate snacks in the evening.

✓ So yes, I ate snacks in the evening every day.

Adverb placement: 'every day' should follow the verb phrase 'ate snacks' rather than before the verb. Use past simple 'ate' to match the past timeframe.

× Well, I love Donuts.

✓ Well, I love donuts.

'Donuts' is a common noun and should not be capitalized unless part of a proper name. Use lowercase 'donuts.' Article use is fine here with plural noun to express general preference.

× I'm a big fan of Donuts, so I used to eat Donuts freaking frequently in the past.

✓ I'm a big fan of donuts, so I used to eat them very frequently in the past.

Avoid capitalization and repetition. 'Used to' correctly expresses a past habit; follow it with the object pronoun 'them' instead of repeating 'donuts.' Replace the informal intensifier 'freaking' with 'very' for standard English.

× But on the other hand, I prioritize my own health so I tried to less eat doughnuts.

✓ But on the other hand, I prioritize my health, so I try to eat fewer doughnuts.

Tense and modal errors: 'tried to less eat' is ungrammatical. To express a current habit change, use present tense 'try' and correct comparative quantifier 'fewer' for countable noun 'doughnuts.' Also 'my own' can be simplified to 'my.'
