× When I go to outside or restaurant with my family or friends, I always try to fry chicken and crispy chicken.
✓ When I go out or go to a restaurant with my family or friends, I always try fried chicken or crispy chicken.
The preposition 'to' is incorrectly used with 'outside'; native use is 'go out'. Also 'or restaurant' needs an article and verb: 'go to a restaurant'. 'Try to fry chicken' implies attempting to cook it; the student means 'try fried chicken' meaning eat it. Use parallel nouns 'fried chicken or crispy chicken.' Suggestion: use 'go out' or 'go to a restaurant' and 'try fried chicken.'
× It is very tasty food for me and with uh some uh, tomato ketchup, I always try this food.
✓ It is very tasty to me, and with some tomato ketchup I always eat this food.
'Very tasty food for me' is awkward; use 'tasty to me.' 'Try this food' can mean attempt; in context they mean 'eat this food.' 'Some' is the correct quantifier for 'tomato ketchup.' Suggestion: replace 'try' with 'eat' and reorder phrase to 'tasty to me.'
× Specially when I were a young, I like to wear any and uh, burger is my favorite one.
✓ Especially when I was young, I liked to eat anything, and burgers were my favorite.
Subject 'I' requires past tense 'was' not 'were.' 'Like' should be past 'liked' to match 'when I was young.' 'Like to wear any' makes no sense here; likely 'eat anything.' Use plural 'burgers' and past 'were' or 'was my favorite' but plural is better. Suggestion: use 'was' for past state and 'liked' for past habit; replace 'wear' with 'eat.'
× And these types of food are like most because most of the time when I go to outing, I try this food.
✓ And I liked these types of food the most because most of the time when I went on outings, I would choose this food.
Sentence mixes present and past. If referring to childhood, use past: 'liked' and 'went on outings.' 'Go to outing' is ungrammatical; correct phrase is 'go on outings.' 'Try this food' should be 'choose' or 'eat' to convey selection. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and use correct collocations 'go on outings.'
× Yes, I eat different types of food at different times.
✓ Yes, I eat different types of food at different times of the year.
Answer to question about seasonal variation should specify 'of the year' to be clear. The present tense 'eat' is acceptable, but the original lacked 'of the year.' Suggestion: add 'of the year' to match the question context.
× Umm, I like to seasonal food like seasonal food like mango, jackfruit and watermelon.
✓ I like seasonal foods such as mangoes, jackfruit, and watermelon.
'Like to seasonal food' is incorrect structure; use 'like seasonal foods' or 'I like seasonal food such as...'. Count nouns need plural 'mangoes.' Use 'such as' instead of repeating 'like seasonal food like.' Suggestion: use plural for countable fruits and 'such as' for examples.
× And I like very occasional food.
✓ And I also like occasional or special-occasion foods.
'Very occasional food' is unclear. If meaning foods eaten on special occasions, say 'special-occasion foods' or 'occasional foods.' Adjust adjective placement and choice. Suggestion: use 'special-occasion foods' for clarity.
× In 14 February I like to Hillshaw fish and.
✓ On February 14th I like to eat Hilsha fish.
Use preposition 'on' with dates. 'Hillshaw' appears to be misspelled; correct is 'Hilsha' (common fish) or 'Hilsha fish.' 'Like to eat' is required; sentence ended incomplete. Suggestion: use 'On February 14th, I like to eat Hilsha fish.'
× Uh, yes, I have a lot of food when I were a child, I like to chocolate and chips.
✓ Uh, yes, I ate a lot of food when I was a child; I liked chocolate and chips.
Mixing tenses: 'have' is present, but should be past 'ate' to match 'when I was a child.' 'Were' is incorrect for 'I'; use 'was.' 'I like to chocolate' is ungrammatical; use 'liked chocolate.' Suggestion: use past tense consistently and correct verb choices.
× Uh, when I go to market with my father, I always, uh, request to him to bring me chocolate and chips because it, it is my favorite one when I were a child and now I like to chocolate.
✓ When I went to the market with my father, I always asked him to buy me chocolate and chips because they were my favorites when I was a child, and now I still like chocolate.
Use past tense 'went' and 'asked' for past habit. 'Request to him to bring me' is incorrect: say 'asked him to buy me.' Use plural 'they were my favorites' for 'chocolate and chips.' 'When I were a child' should be 'when I was a child.' 'Now I like to chocolate' should be 'now I still like chocolate.' Suggestion: use correct past forms and proper verbs for asking, and maintain consistent tense.
