Food— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more fluent and concise: avoid fillers (uh, umm), correct wrong word choices (e.g. 'asphalt') and give one or two clear reasons. Keep answer within 2–3 sentences and use linking words for coherence.

Ví dụ: My favourite food is chicken salad because it’s quick to prepare and very nutritious. For example, it provides a lot of protein from the chicken and plenty of vitamins from fresh vegetables.

Gợi ý: Use correct tense and more natural phrasing. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give a brief reason and a specific example. Reduce repetition of similar words.

Ví dụ: When I was young, I loved sweets such as chocolates, toffees and cakes. However, my parents limited them because they worried about my health and dental hygiene.

Gợi ý: Be more structured and precise: remove fillers, correct sentence structure, and give specific seasonal examples. Use linking words (for example, in summer) and finish with a complete idea.

Ví dụ: Yes, we eat seasonal foods in Wellington, New Zealand. For example, in summer we enjoy strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and my favourite is blueberries because they are sweet and versatile in dishes.

Gợi ý: Use correct grammar and avoid vague or incorrect phrases. Give a clear contrast between past and present with reasons and one specific example of what you prefer now. Keep to 2–3 sentences and use linking words (for example, now, because).

Ví dụ: Yes, it has changed. When I was a child I ate many sweets like chocolates and cakes, but now I prefer natural, healthier foods such as grilled chicken with vegetables because I want more protein and better nutrition.

× Uh, I like eating healthy At the moment my favorite, umm, food is chicken salad, so it's easy to make as well.

✓ Uh, I like eating healthily. At the moment my favorite food is chicken salad because it's easy to make.

The word 'healthy' is an adjective; after 'eating' we need an adverb 'healthily' (Grammar Problem Type 13). Also sentence flow improved by splitting and using 'because' for reason instead of 'so'. Use punctuation and lowercase 'at' and remove redundant 'umm'. Suggestion: Use 'eat healthily' or 'I like healthy food'.

× It's quite healthy and it's a lot of protein and asphalt.

✓ It's quite healthy and has a lot of protein.

The student used 'it's a lot of protein' which is awkward; use 'has a lot of protein' to describe content (Grammar Problem Type 13). 'Asphalt' is incorrect vocabulary; likely mispronounced 'as well' or an incorrect word. Remove 'asphalt'. Suggestion: Say 'It has a lot of protein' or 'It's high in protein'.

× In my childhood we like a lot of sweets and Toffees and chocolates and cakes, so my parents always buy them but as limited because they always said it's not healthy.

✓ In my childhood we liked a lot of sweets, toffees, chocolates and cakes, but my parents bought them only in limited amounts because they always said they were not healthy.

Tense and number issues: 'we like' should be past 'we liked' and 'toffees' and 'chocolates' are plural nouns used correctly but verbs must match past (Grammar Problem Type 1 and 5). 'Buy them but as limited' is ungrammatical; use 'bought them only in limited amounts'. 'It's not healthy' should agree with plural 'they were not healthy'. Suggestion: Keep past tense consistently when talking about childhood memories.

× In my childhood we like a lot of sweets and Toffees and chocolates and cakes, so my parents always buy them but as limited because they always said it's not healthy.

✓ In my childhood we liked a lot of sweets, toffees, chocolates and cakes, but my parents bought them only in limited amounts because they always said they were not healthy.

The original mixes present and past tenses ('like' and 'buy') when recounting past habits; use past tense verbs 'liked' and 'bought' (Grammar Problem Type 5). Also pronoun and verb agreement corrected ('they were not healthy'). Suggestion: When telling past events, use past simple consistently.

× Yes, uh, we eat seasonal food and are living in Wellington, uh, New Zealand.

✓ Yes, we eat seasonal food and live in Wellington, New Zealand.

Using 'are living' is grammatical but awkward for a permanent or long-term residence; 'live' is more natural (Grammar Problem Type 11). Also remove filler words and use correct comma placement. Suggestion: Use 'live in' for places you reside habitually.

× So in the, they have Four Seasons when the seasons come, like especially in summer, all the berries come in our strawberries, raspberries and the blueberries.

✓ Wellington has four seasons. For example, in summer many berries come into season, such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.

Original sentence is disordered and partially ungrammatical: unnecessary 'the', incorrect capitalization, and awkward phrasing 'berries come in our strawberries' (Grammar Problem Type 26). Reworded to logical sequence and correct collocations ('come into season'). Suggestion: Organize ideas: state the fact, then give examples.

× And so my favorite is uh, blue.

✓ And so my favorite is blueberries.

The student said 'blue' which is an adjective or color, but context asks for the favorite food/berry; the noun 'blueberries' is required (Grammar Problem Type 13). Suggestion: Use the noun form when naming a food.

× Yes, my favorite food is change because when I was in the channel I like a lot of sweets, chocolate, Toffees and cakes at.

✓ Yes, my favorite food has changed because when I was a child I liked a lot of sweets, chocolates, toffees and cakes.

Mix of present and incorrect verb forms: 'is change' should be present perfect 'has changed' to indicate change over time (Grammar Problem Type 6). 'When I was in the channel' is incorrect; should be 'when I was a child'. Use past tense 'liked' for childhood habits. Suggestion: Use 'has changed' for a change from past to present and correct vocabulary 'child'.

× Yes, my favorite food is change because when I was in the channel I like a lot of sweets, chocolate, Toffees and cakes at.

✓ Yes, my favorite food has changed because when I was a child I liked a lot of sweets, chocolates, toffees and cakes.

Pronoun/word misuse: 'channel' is incorrect word choice; 'child' is correct. Also final 'at' is extraneous (Grammar Problem Type 12). Suggestion: Choose accurate nouns and remove unnecessary words.

× But now I do not like sweets.

✓ But now I do not like sweets anymore.

Sentence is grammatically acceptable but adding 'anymore' clarifies change from past habits to present (Grammar Problem Type 6). Suggestion: Use 'anymore' to contrast past and present preferences.

× I think it's not hot here and I always prefer something natural and healthier and also I focus on taking more.

✓ I think it's not healthy to eat a lot of sweets, and I now prefer something natural and healthier, and I focus on eating more natural foods.

Multiple errors: 'not hot here' seems to be wrong word choice for 'not healthy' (Grammar Problem Type 13). 'Prefer something natural and healthier' needs comparative clarity; 'healthier' should compare to previous diet. 'I focus on taking more' uses wrong verb 'taking'—use 'eating' (Grammar Problem Type 8/13). Suggestion: Use precise vocabulary: 'healthy' not 'hot', and use 'focus on eating more' or 'focus on consuming more natural foods'.
