食物— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be careful with pronunciation and word choice (e.g. "shellfish", not "selfish"). Start with a clear topic sentence, then give 1–2 specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler sounds (uh) and redundant phrases. Also correct tense consistency and small grammar points (e.g. "I love trying" instead of "I really enjoy to try").

範例: My favourite food is seafood, especially shellfish and fish. For example, I love trying Italian seafood dishes, such as seafood pasta, and I especially enjoyed fresh seafood in Los Cabos, Mexico.

建議: Provide a clear topic sentence and then explain reasons with linking words. Fix grammar: use "I recognize the importance of eating" and avoid redundant pronouns ("them"). Be specific about examples and use past vs present contrast clearly (e.g. "I used to... but now...").

範例: When I was young, I mainly liked candy and fast food. However, now I recognise the importance of eating healthy foods, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, because my parents didn’t introduce them to me as a child.

建議: Begin with a direct answer, then give 1–2 specific examples using linking words like "however" or "for example." Correct small grammar issues: "At Christmas" not "in Christmas", "it is called" or just the name, and avoid filler words. Be specific about dishes and regions to enrich content.

範例: Generally, we eat similar foods throughout the year, but at Christmas we have special dishes. For example, a traditional snack called Buñuelo Añejo is common, and different regions of Colombia have their own typical plates.

建議: Answer directly and give a clear reason for the change. Fix grammar and clarity: remove extra words ("by"), use past simple and present perfect appropriately, and finish sentences fully ("I know that it's delicious"). Add linking words like "because" or "but" for coherence.

範例: Yes, my favourite food has changed. As a child I didn’t like seafood because I thought it was disgusting, but now I love it, especially shellfish, because I have tried many dishes and my tastes have developed.

× Seafood is my favorite food, specially the selfish and the fish.

✓ Seafood is my favorite food, especially shellfish and fish.

The word 'specially' is less appropriate here; 'especially' is the correct adverb to indicate preference. 'Selfish' is a misspelling and wrong word; the intended noun is 'shellfish'. Use 'especially' before items to emphasize them.

× I really enjoy to try new dishes, for example, uh, Italian dishes with seafood.

✓ I really enjoy trying new dishes, for example Italian seafood dishes.

The verb 'enjoy' should be followed by a gerund (verb + -ing), not an infinitive. Also streamline 'Italian dishes with seafood' to 'Italian seafood dishes' for natural phrasing.

× Also, I loved the seafood of Mexico, especially the one that it's sold in Los Cabos.

✓ Also, I love the seafood in Mexico, especially the dishes sold in Los Cabos.

The question asks about current favourite food, so present tense 'love' fits better than past 'loved'. 'The one that it's sold' is ungrammatical; use 'the dishes sold' or 'the ones sold'. Use 'in Mexico' rather than 'of Mexico' for natural collocation.

× When I was young, I used to like the candies and fast food.

✓ When I was young, I used to like candy and fast food.

'Used to' correctly indicates past habit. 'Candies' is natural in some contexts but 'candy' (uncountable) is more idiomatic when speaking generally. No tense change needed.

× Right now I recognize the importance to eat high quality foods, for example vegetables and fruits that I used to not eat them in my childhood because my parents didn't introduce it to my.

✓ Right now I recognize the importance of eating high-quality foods, for example vegetables and fruits that I did not use to eat in my childhood because my parents did not introduce them to me.

Use 'recognize the importance of' followed by a noun or gerund: 'eating'. 'High-quality' should be hyphenated when used before a noun. 'Use to' in past habit is 'used to' but in negative past habit the form is 'did not use to'. Do not add an extra object pronoun 'them' after 'eat' when rephrasing; here include 'them' as object of 'introduce'. 'Introduce it to my' is incorrect: 'them' for plural, and 'me' is correct pronoun.

× In my country, we eat the same food the whole year.

✓ In my country, we eat the same food all year round.

'The whole year' is understandable but native phrasing is 'all year round' or 'throughout the year'. This is a prepositional/collocation choice.

× And for instance, in Christmas we have some special food, for example, a dish that it's called Bunuelo Anatea.

✓ For instance, at Christmas we have special foods, for example a dish called Buñuelo Antea.

Use 'at Christmas' rather than 'in Christmas'. 'Some special food' becomes 'special foods' or 'a special dish'. Do not use 'that it's called' — say 'a dish called ...'. Also correct spelling/diacritics: 'Buñuelo Antea' (preserve spelling as appropriate).

× And also it depends of the part of Colombia that you're visiting.

✓ It also depends on the part of Colombia you are visiting.

Use the preposition 'on' with 'depend' (depend on), not 'of'. Also drop 'that' after 'part' for natural phrasing; avoid contractions in written correction or keep 'you're' expanded to 'you are'.

× We have, uh, some typical plates.

✓ We have some typical dishes.

'Plates' is a literal translation error; native English uses 'dishes' or 'traditional dishes' to refer to types of food. 'Plates' refers to the physical item, not meals.

× Yes, when I was a child I didn't like seafood by but right now it's my favorite food especially shellfish.

✓ Yes, when I was a child I didn't like seafood, but right now it's my favorite food, especially shellfish.

Insert a comma and remove the stray word 'by' which is erroneous. The past negative 'didn't like' is correct for childhood; keep present 'it's my favorite' for current state.

× And when I was a child I even tried to eat some seafood because I thought it was disgusting but right now I know that it's.

✓ When I was a child I even tried to eat some seafood because I thought it was disgusting, but now I know it isn't.

The clause 'I know that it's' is incomplete; complete it with 'isn't' to contrast with 'was disgusting'. Use 'now' for conciseness and include a comma before the contrasting 'but'.
