Cakes— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Focus on clarity, correct grammar, and brevity. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and fix tense and article errors (e.g., 'since I was younger', 'I still love', 'dark chocolate').

Ví dụ: I love eating cakes, especially vanilla cake. I have liked vanilla since I was a child because I enjoy the smooth cream and light sponge. Also, I like dark chocolate occasionally because it has a rich, slightly bitter flavor that balances the sweetness.

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and accurately. The examiner asked about Chinese cakes but you spoke about Filipino cakes; correct the topic or explain the relationship. Use specific details and avoid repetition. Keep answers to 2–3 sentences and use linking words like 'however' or 'for example'.

Ví dụ: I am not sure about traditional Chinese cakes, but in the Philippines we have several traditional cakes. For example, strawberry cake is popular at celebrations, although it can be expensive to buy. It is often served at parties because people enjoy its fresh fruit flavor.

Gợi ý: Be concise and correct grammar. State ability clearly, then give one reason and a brief example. Use linking words like 'because' or 'so' and avoid filler words and repetition.

Ví dụ: I cannot make cakes yet because I lack baking equipment and experience. However, I have watched YouTube tutorials and hope to try simple recipes in the future once I buy basic tools like a mixer and baking pans.

Gợi ý: Use past tense for past experiences and keep sentences clear. Start with a topic sentence in past tense, then add a specific memory with linking words such as 'for example' or 'because'. Avoid awkward phrasing like 'I'd be willing to remember'.

Ví dụ: Yes, I loved cakes as a child. For example, my mother often bought vanilla cake for special occasions, and I remember enjoying it with my family because it felt festive and sweet.

Gợi ý: Use correct structures for preferences (e.g., 'I'm not particularly fond of...'). Give a clear general opinion, then a specific exception, linked with 'however' or 'sometimes'. Keep it to two sentences.

Ví dụ: I'm not particularly fond of having dessert after meals. However, sometimes my mother makes homemade desserts and I enjoy them, especially when we have them together as a family.

× I love to eat eat cakes, particularly vanilla cake.

✓ I love to eat cakes, particularly vanilla cake.

The sentence had a duplicated word 'eat' which is a repetition error; remove the extra 'eat' to make it grammatically correct and fluent. Also ensure plural 'cakes' matches general liking.

× It is one of my favorite since I was in my younger age and I'm still already an adult.

✓ It has been one of my favorites since I was young, and I'm now an adult.

Original mixes tenses and uses awkward phrases ('in my younger age', 'still already'). Use present perfect 'has been' to indicate from past until now, plural 'favorites' for one item among many, and 'since I was young' is the correct idiom. Replace 'still already an adult' with 'now an adult' for clarity.

× I I'm still loving the taste of vanilla cream.

✓ I still love the taste of vanilla cream.

English uses stative verb 'love' in simple present, not present participle with 'loving' for permanent preference. Remove extra 'I' and use 'love'.

× Furthermore, I like others with products like chocolates, especially dark because.

✓ Furthermore, I also like other products such as chocolate, especially dark chocolate.

Original is ungrammatical and ends with a dangling 'because'. Use 'also' and 'other products such as' to list examples; repeat 'chocolate' for clarity and remove incomplete clause.

× In the Philippines we have different type of traditional cakes that served on the table, especially the strawberry cake that is also common to the people in the Philippines but it's a bit expensive to to buy.

✓ In the Philippines we have different types of traditional cakes served at the table, especially strawberry cake, which is common there but a bit expensive to buy.

Use plural 'types' to match 'different', use past participle 'served' correctly without extra 'that', preposition 'at the table' is more natural, and replace the clause with a nonrestrictive 'which' to combine ideas. Remove duplicated 'to'.

× Further more, this is one of the a great cake that you can eat, you can taste.

✓ Furthermore, this is one of the great cakes that you can try.

Remove extra article 'a' after 'the', use plural 'cakes' for 'one of the...', and 'try' is more natural than 'eat, you can taste' to avoid repetition.

× Honestly I don't know how to make a cake but I've seen some YouTube channel how to make the specific menu of the cake but since I don't have enough equipment to do it I I prefer to buying at the store and it comfortably.

✓ Honestly, I don't know how to make a cake, but I've seen some YouTube channels showing how to make specific cakes. Since I don't have enough equipment, I prefer to buy them at the store because it's more convenient.

Use plural 'channels' and correct structure 'showing how to make...'. Use infinitive 'to buy' after 'prefer'. Replace 'it comfortably' with 'because it's more convenient' to express reason. Remove duplicated 'I'.

× I don't comfort my own home that's it.

✓ I don't feel comfortable making them at home; that's it.

Original 'I don't comfort my own home' is incorrect. Use 'feel comfortable' + gerund 'making them at home' to express inability or reluctance. Add a brief closing 'that's it' if intended.

× I'd be willing to remember when I was a child, but I love eating sweet, particularly cake.

✓ I can remember when I was a child, and I loved eating sweets, particularly cake.

Use 'can remember' or 'I remember' rather than 'I'd be willing to remember'. Match past preference with past tense 'loved' and plural 'sweets' for general category.

× Like I mentioned, vanilla cake is one of my favorite until then and I keep searching those kind of days, especially way back in the Philippines when my mother keep buying us a vanilla cake in our home.

✓ As I mentioned, vanilla cake was one of my favorites back then, and I often think about those days, especially when my mother used to buy us vanilla cake at home in the Philippines.

Use 'was' and 'favorites' for past reference 'back then'. 'Keep searching those kind of days' is ungrammatical; replace with 'often think about those days'. Use 'used to buy' for habitual past and 'at home' as natural preposition.

× I miss this moment.

✓ I miss those moments.

Use plural 'moments' to refer to repeated past experiences; 'this moment' implies present rather than reminisced past.

× I don't particularly fond of eating desserts after meal, but sometimes at home my mother also cook some specific desserts and we I enjoyed that the most.

✓ I'm not particularly fond of eating desserts after meals, but sometimes at home my mother also cooks certain desserts, and I enjoy those the most.

Use correct verb 'be' with adjective: 'I'm not particularly fond of'. Use plural 'meals'. Verb agreement: 'mother cooks'. Replace 'specific' with 'certain' and fix pronoun/tense to 'I enjoy those the most'.

× But even though we don't have desserts on the table after meal, I'm satisfied with it.

✓ But even when we don't have desserts on the table after a meal, I'm satisfied.

Change 'even though' to 'even when' for habitual situations; use 'a meal' or plural 'meals' for general statement and remove unnecessary 'with it'. 'Satisfied' stands alone.
