Snacks— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and fix minor grammar issues. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and use one linking phrase to add a detail. Also reduce filler words (e.g., remove the extra 'I' and avoid 'because' twice).

Exemplo: I usually have a light snack mid-morning, about an hour or two after breakfast. For example, I’ll have a small yogurt or a piece of bread, which keeps me satisfied until lunch.

Sugestão: Correct subject-verb agreement and reduce hesitations. Use clear linking words (e.g., 'however' or 'whereas') to contrast healthy and unhealthy snacks, and give one specific reason for each with accurate vocabulary (plural/singular, 'antioxidants', 'additives', 'extra calories').

Exemplo: It depends on the type of snack. For example, yogurt with blueberries can be healthy because probiotics help digestion and blueberries provide antioxidants; however, highly processed salty snacks are unhealthy because they contain additives and extra calories.

Sugestão: Use past tense consistently when talking about childhood and correct noun forms. Start with a clear topic sentence, then contrast past and present with a linking word like 'now' or 'however'. Keep sentences within the 3–4 sentence limit.

Exemplo: Yes, I ate a lot of snacks as a child. I loved sweet treats such as doughnuts and candy. However, now I avoid sugary snacks and prefer fruit and nuts because I’m more conscious of my health.

Sugestão: Be concise and correct countable/plural forms. Begin with a direct statement about current preferences, then briefly contrast with the past using a linking word. Use plural nouns ('a handful of nuts') and hyphenate 'low-fat'.

Exemplo: Now I prefer healthier snacks, such as low-fat yogurt with fruit or a handful of nuts, because they are more nutritious and give me steady energy. When I was younger, I often ate doughnuts and candy.

× I usually have a light snack mid morning about an hour or two after breakfast because I often I feel hungry but don't want a full meal.

✓ I usually have a light snack mid-morning, about an hour or two after breakfast, because I often feel hungry but don't want a full meal.

Remove the extra pronoun 'I' after 'often' and add commas and a hyphen for 'mid-morning' to follow standard punctuation and compound-word form; the verb 'feel' is correctly in the present tense to describe habitual action. Suggestion: Say 'I often feel' (not 'I often I feel') and use 'mid-morning' as one hyphenated adjective phrase.

× A piece of bread or small yogurt is enough to tide me over until lunch.

✓ A piece of bread or a small yogurt is enough to tide me over until lunch.

Each singular noun in an 'A or B' construction that is countable should have an article. 'Small yogurt' needs 'a' to agree in number and form with 'a piece of bread'. Suggestion: Use 'a small yogurt' or rephrase to 'some small yogurt' if treating yogurt as uncountable.

× I think whether a snack is healthy depend on the type.

✓ I think whether a snack is healthy depends on the type.

Subject-verb agreement requires third-person singular 'depends' with the singular subject 'whether a snack is healthy'. The verb should be in present tense matching the subject. Suggestion: Use 'depends' not 'depend'.

× For example, a yogurt with blueberry can be healthy because probiotic may help digestion and blueberry uh provide antioxidant while uh highly processed salty snacks are unhealthy because they often contain additive and extra calorie.

✓ For example, a yogurt with blueberries can be healthy because probiotics may help digestion and blueberries provide antioxidants, while highly processed salty snacks are unhealthy because they often contain additives and extra calories.

Plural forms are needed: 'blueberries' (countable in this context), 'probiotics' (plural to match common usage), 'antioxidants' (plural), 'additives' and 'calories' (plural). Also remove filler 'uh' and adjust verbs to agree with plural nouns. Suggestion: Use plural forms for general statements about food components and avoid fillers.

× Yes, I often eat snacks.

✓ Yes, I often ate snacks.

The question asks about the past ('Did you often eat snacks when you were young?'), so the verb should be in the past tense: 'ate' not present 'eat'. Suggestion: Match the tense to the question by using past simple.

× When I was a child, I love sweet treats like a doughnut and candy.

✓ When I was a child, I loved sweet treats like doughnuts and candy.

The clause 'When I was a child' sets past time, so the verb should be past simple 'loved'. Also, use plural 'doughnuts' to match general reference to types of treats. Suggestion: Use past tense 'loved' and plural for general items.

× However, as an adult, I now avoid sugary snack and prefer healthy options such as fruit and nuts because I'm more conscious of my health.

✓ However, as an adult, I now avoid sugary snacks and prefer healthy options such as fruit and nuts because I'm more conscious of my health.

Use plural 'snacks' when speaking generally about types of snack items. The verbs 'avoid' and 'prefer' are correctly in present tense to describe current habits. Suggestion: Use 'sugary snacks' for general plural reference.

× When I was younger I often ate doughnuts and candy, but now I prefer healthier snacks such as low fat yogurt with fruit or handful of nut because they are more nutritious and give me steady energy throughout the day.

✓ When I was younger, I often ate doughnuts and candy, but now I prefer healthier snacks such as low-fat yogurt with fruit or a handful of nuts because they are more nutritious and give me steady energy throughout the day.

The past clause 'When I was younger' correctly uses 'ate'. Add comma after the introductory clause. 'Low-fat' needs a hyphen as a compound adjective. 'A handful of nuts' requires the article 'a' and plural 'nuts'. Suggestion: Use 'low-fat' and 'a handful of nuts' for correct grammar and clarity.
