Food— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more natural and concise. Begin with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (e.g. enjoyed → enjoy, mom's cook cooks it → my mom cooks it), avoid filler words, and give one or two specific details about taste or how it's served. Use linking words if adding details.

Ví dụ: My favourite food is beshparmak, a traditional Kazakh dish made with horse meat and flat noodles. I especially like it because the meat is tender and the broth is rich, and my mother often prepares it for family gatherings.

Gợi ý: Clarify tense and meaning. Start with a clear topic sentence in past tense, avoid contradictions (saying not obsessed but then like chocolate), and add a brief reason or example. Use linking words like but or however to contrast past and present.

Ví dụ: When I was young, I had a real sweet tooth and ate a lot of candies and cakes. However, I don't crave sweets as much now; I mostly enjoy chocolate occasionally rather than constantly.

Gợi ý: Be specific and correct vocabulary. Remove hesitations and fix phrases (e.g. "threshold foods" is unclear). Give 1–2 concrete seasonal examples and use linking words like for example or whereas. Keep sentences short and grammatical.

Ví dụ: Yes, my diet changes with the seasons. For example, in summer I prefer fresh fruits and salads because they are refreshing, whereas in winter I choose hot soups and stews to stay warm.

Gợi ý: Make your point clear and consistent. Use past tense for childhood and contrast with present using linking words like but or however. Avoid vague or repetitive phrases and give a brief reason why your preference changed.

Ví dụ: When I was a child I was obsessed with chocolate and ate it often, but my tastes have changed. Now I prefer savoury dishes like beshparmak because I appreciate more complex flavours than simple sweets.

× Oh, I really enjoyed with Kazakh national food.

✓ Oh, I really enjoy Kazakh national food.

The verb 'enjoy' does not take the preposition 'with'. Use 'enjoy' + object. Also present simple ('enjoy') is appropriate for a general preference rather than past 'enjoyed with'. Suggestion: say 'I enjoy Kazakh national food.'

× Umm, it's beshparmak, it's a horse meat and it's really delicious.

✓ Umm, it's beshparmak, it's horse meat and it's really delicious.

'Meat' is an uncountable noun and normally used without the indefinite article 'a' when referring to the type of meat. Remove 'a' before 'horse meat.'

× Umm, my mom's cook cooks it for me and I really like it.

✓ Umm, my mom cooks it for me and I really like it.

The phrase 'my mom's cook' is unclear and likely incorrect; use 'my mom' as the subject who cooks. Also avoid redundant 'cooks' repetition. Suggestion: 'my mom cooks it for me.'

× What kind of food did you like when you were young?

✓ What kind of food did you like when you were young?

This question sentence is correct; 'did you like' properly uses past tense auxiliary. No correction needed. (No change required.)

× I used to eat a lot of sweets and I have a sweet tooth when I was a child, but now I'm not obsessed with sweets and nowadays I'm more like a chocolate.

✓ I used to eat a lot of sweets and I had a sweet tooth when I was a child, but now I'm not obsessed with sweets and nowadays I prefer chocolate.

Mixing 'used to' with present 'have' is inconsistent; use past 'had' for childhood. 'I'm more like a chocolate' is incorrect; use 'prefer chocolate.' Also 'nowadays' and 'now' are redundant; keep one. Suggestion: 'I used to eat a lot of sweets and I had a sweet tooth when I was a child, but now I'm not obsessed with sweets and I prefer chocolate.'

× Yes I do umm it depends on at different times of the year.

✓ Yes, it depends on the time of year.

The phrase 'depends on at different times of the year' has extra prepositions. Use 'depends on' + noun phrase. 'The time of year' or 'the season' is natural. Also add a comma after 'Yes.'

× For example umm in summer I prefer fruits or more threshold foods, but in a winter I prefer some hot. Foods.

✓ For example, in summer I prefer fruit or lighter foods, but in winter I prefer hot foods.

'Fruits' is often 'fruit' when speaking generally. 'Threshold foods' is incorrect; likely 'lighter foods.' 'in a winter' is wrong; use 'in winter.' 'some hot. Foods.' is fragmented; combine into 'hot foods.' Suggestions: use 'fruit', 'lighter foods', 'in winter', and 'hot foods.'

× Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

✓ Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

This exam question sentence is correct as written; no grammatical correction needed. It uses present perfect correctly. (No change required.)

× I was really obsessed with chocolate and I can eat chocolate.

✓ I was really obsessed with chocolate and I could eat chocolate all the time.

Mixing past 'was' with present 'can' is inconsistent; use past ability 'could' to match 'was' and add 'all the time' to express frequent past action. Suggestion: 'I could eat chocolate all the time.'

× All my life I thought that it was true, but now I don't like chocolate as much as I love.

✓ All my life I thought that was true, but now I don't love chocolate as much.

The clause 'as much as I love' is incomplete and ungrammatical here. Better to say 'I don't love chocolate as much' or 'I don't like chocolate as much as I used to.' 'All my life I thought that was true' is acceptable; combine with 'I don't love chocolate as much' for clarity. Suggestion: '...but now I don't love chocolate as much.'
