Food— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and add a brief reason or specific detail about the food (flavors, ingredients, or a memory) using one linking phrase. Avoid repetition like “a lot” and unnecessary filler.

Ví dụ: My favourite food is biryani, a spicy rice dish from Pakistan. I grew up eating it at family gatherings because of its fragrant spices and tender meat, so it always reminds me of home.

Gợi ý: Remove hesitations and unnecessary phrases, answer directly, and include a concise reason using a linking word like ‘because’. Keep it to two sentences maximum and give a specific detail (e.g. how often you ate them).

Ví dụ: When I was young I loved boiled eggs because my parents rarely allowed me to have them; doctors had warned that too many eggs could be unhealthy for children, so they treated them as a special treat.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and use linking words to contrast ideas (e.g. ‘however’, ‘while’). Be specific about seasonal changes (examples of foods for seasons) and avoid fillers. Limit to three sentences.

Ví dụ: It depends: while I try to eat plenty of protein year-round, I vary my vegetables with the seasons — for example, I eat summer salads with tomatoes and cucumbers in summer and roasted root vegetables like carrots and beets in winter.

Gợi ý: Be concise and use a clear linking phrase to show change (e.g. ‘however’ or ‘since then’). Give a specific reason and one supporting detail about pizza (a topping or style you like). Avoid repetition.

Ví dụ: As a child I loved biryani, and I still enjoy it; however, my favourite now is pizza because I discovered different cuisines and I especially like thin-crust Margherita pizza for its fresh tomatoes and basil.

× My favorite food is a rice dish called biryani from Pakistan. I was raised eating this kind of food so I have memories associated with it and still till date I enjoy eating biryani a lot.

✓ My favorite food is a rice dish called biryani from Pakistan. I was raised eating this kind of food, so I have memories associated with it, and I still enjoy eating biryani a lot.

Errors: unnecessary combination 'still till date' is redundant; punctuation needed for clarity; use 'I still enjoy' rather than 'still till date I enjoy'. Suggestion: remove 'till date' or replace with 'to this day' and add commas to join clauses correctly. (Note: This item relates to 6: Present tense issue and 22: Article errors.)

× This might sound strange, but when I was young I really liked boiled eggs because my parents, they would not allow me to eat a lot of them.

✓ This might sound strange, but when I was young I really liked boiled eggs because my parents would not allow me to eat many of them.

Errors: Redundant pronoun 'they' after 'my parents' should be deleted; use 'many' (count noun) not 'a lot of them' for clarity; add comma after introductory clause. Suggestion: remove extra pronoun and use 'many' with countable 'eggs'. (Related to 12: Incorrect use of pronouns and 14: Incorrect use of quantifiers.)

× Umm, the reason for that is uh, because the doctors back in the day would say that uh, for kids, uh, eggs make them ill.

✓ The reason was that, in the past, doctors used to say that eggs make children ill.

Errors: redundant fillers 'uh/umm' should be removed in written correction; 'back in the day' is informal — use 'in the past'; use 'used to' or 'would' for habitual past; 'kids' -> 'children' for formality; 'make them ill' is acceptable but 'make children ill' is clearer. Suggestion: simplify and use appropriate past habitual form. (Related to 5: Past tense issue and 12: Pronoun use.)

× Well, that depends. I like to focus on protein these days, so I would definitely consume protein throughout the year. Umm. But uh, for my veggies, I like to eat fresh veggies.

✓ Well, that depends. I like to focus on protein these days, so I definitely eat protein throughout the year. For vegetables, I prefer to eat them fresh.

Errors: 'would definitely consume' is an inconsistent modal choice here; 'eat' is simple present to state habitual action. Remove fillers 'umm/uh'. Use 'vegetables' instead of 'veggies' in formal correction and avoid repeating 'veggies'. Suggestion: use consistent present tense for habits and vary vocabulary. (Related to 4: Modal verb usage and 6: Present tense issue and 13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs.)

× Well, when I was a child I liked biryani a lot and I still like biryani a lot. But right now my favorite food is pizza. Probably that's the reason is that I was not familiar with other cuisines when I was a child and then when I was introduced to different cuisines, I liked the Italian.

✓ When I was a child I liked biryani a lot, and I still like it. But right now my favorite food is pizza. The probable reason is that I was not familiar with other cuisines when I was a child, and when I was later introduced to different cuisines, I came to like Italian food.

Errors: repetition 'biryani a lot' and awkward phrasing 'Probably that's the reason is that' — simplify to 'The probable reason is that'; use 'I still like it' to avoid repetition; 'the Italian' is incorrect noun phrase — use 'Italian food'; improve tense flow with 'later introduced' and 'came to like' for change over time. Suggestion: avoid redundant phrases and use correct noun forms. (Related to 6: Present tense issue, 26: Sentence structure errors, and 22: Article errors.)
