食物— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be more fluent and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then give two specific supporting details (ingredients and why you like it). Avoid filler words like “umm” and repeating phrases. Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, “because” and “also”).

範例: My favourite food is caldereta, a Filipino tomato-based stew. It usually contains tender goat or pork, potatoes and bell peppers, and I love it because the sauce is rich and slightly spicy. I often eat it at family gatherings, so it also feels comforting and nostalgic.

建議: Give a direct topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details with a linking word explaining change. Avoid casual fillers like “so yeah.” Mention a reason why your preference changed to make your answer richer.

範例: When I was young I preferred fried foods, especially fried chicken, because I liked the crispy texture and mild flavours. However, as I grew older I began to enjoy richer, more savoury dishes like caldereta because I developed a taste for spicier and more complex sauces.

建議: Avoid repeating the same phrase and organize your answer logically: state a general pattern, then give 2 specific examples with linking phrases. Be concise and avoid redundancy. Mention seasonal differences if applicable to the question (e.g., holidays, weather).

範例: Yes, I do. For example, I tend to eat lighter, cooler dishes like salads and sushi in hot months, and richer, comforting Filipino stews at home in cooler weather. Also, during festivals I often choose traditional seasonal foods, while when dining out I prefer trying international or fusion menus.

建議: Give a clear topic sentence explaining the change, include a specific reason for the change and a linking phrase to compare past and present. Avoid repeating the same word (“savory”) and the phrase “as I said before.”

範例: Yes, my favourite food has changed. I used to prefer fried dishes like fried chicken because I liked their crispiness, but now I prefer savoury stews such as caldereta because I enjoy more complex flavours and hearty meals.

× Usually we umm it has a meat like the goat meat or pork meat and it's really good.

✓ Usually it has meat, such as goat or pork, and it's really good.

The original sentence contains unnecessary filler 'we umm' and awkward noun phrasing 'a meat like the goat meat or pork meat'. Remove fillers and use the gerund/verb structure correctly by saying 'it has meat' and give examples with 'such as'. Also remove the article 'the' before uncountable or generic meat types. This clarifies meaning and fixes incorrect phrasing.

× When I was young, I was really picky, so the food I like growing up was fried food such as fried chicken.

✓ When I was young, I was really picky, so the food I liked growing up was fried food such as fried chicken.

The clause refers to past habit, so the verb should be in the past tense 'liked' rather than present 'like'. Use past tense consistently to match the time frame.

× So yeah, it's not something savory like my favorite now, Caldereta.

✓ So yeah, it's not as savory as my favorite now, Caldereta.

Comparison here requires a comparative structure 'not as...as' rather than 'not something savory like'. Changing to 'not as savory as' makes the comparison grammatically correct and clearer.

× When I go out, I like to try different fusion dishes, international cuisines.

✓ When I go out, I like to try different fusion dishes and international cuisines.

The original lists two nouns with a comma that makes it read like an apposition; adding 'and' properly connects the two items. No present participle error per se, but this fits 'verb in the present participle form' category because the parallel structure with 'try' requires objects joined correctly.

× When I go out, I usually like to order Japanese food, but when I stay in, I like the comforting Filipino local dishes.

✓ When I go out, I usually order Japanese food, but when I stay in, I like comforting Filipino dishes.

Use simple present 'usually order' rather than 'usually like to order' for conciseness though both are acceptable; also 'comforting Filipino local dishes' is redundant—'local' and 'Filipino' overlap. Removing 'local' and 'the' makes the sentence more natural. This addresses verb-object phrasing and adjective redundancy.

× Yes, it changed drastically.

✓ Yes, it has changed drastically.

Speaking about a change from childhood to now commonly uses present perfect 'has changed' to link past to present. 'Changed' alone is simple past and is acceptable but present perfect is more natural here to indicate the change affects the present.

× As I said before, I like fried chicken or any fried dishes, but now I enjoy more savory dishes such as caldereta which is more savory.

✓ As I said before, I liked fried chicken and other fried dishes, but now I enjoy more savory dishes such as caldereta.

Maintain tense consistency: when referring to childhood preference, use past tense 'liked'. Also the phrase 'enjoy more savory dishes' is fine; remove redundant 'which is more savory'. This clarifies and avoids repetition.
