Snacks— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence stating when you snack, then add one brief supporting detail about habit or family influence. Use correct tense and avoid repetition (e.g. "tea" vs "teas"). Limit to 2–3 sentences and include a linking word.

Example: I usually have a snack with my tea in the evening, typically after 3 p.m. This is a habit I picked up from my parents and grandparents, who often served fried snacks with evening tea.

Suggestion: Answer directly and clearly, then support with specific reasons. Correct word choice (e.g. "fried snacks", "unhealthy"). Combine short sentences with linking words like "because" or "however" to improve coherence. End with a concise conclusion about your future action.

Example: No, I don't think fried snacks are healthy because they often contain a lot of oil and sugar. However, I find it hard to stop eating them immediately, so I try to cut down gradually by choosing healthier alternatives.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer and finish your thought. Use past tense correctly and avoid unfinished sentences. Provide one specific example and explain briefly how it was cultural. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and use a linking word like "because" or "so".

Example: Yes, I ate snacks often when I was young because it was part of our family routine. My parents and grandparents would serve items like banana fritters, chips, and fries with evening tea, which was a cultural tradition in our home.

Suggestion: State the snack clearly and give specific, well-structured supporting details. Correct vocabulary ("banana fritter", "traditional", "regional"). Avoid unsupported absolute claims ("not available in other countries"); instead say "rare" or "typical in my region". Keep to 2–3 sentences and use linking words.

Example: I especially like banana fritters because they are easy to make and a traditional family snack. They are a typical dish in Kerala, made from banana and flour, and I enjoy them because they remind me of home.

× I usually eat snacks with my tea, normally in the evening, once after 3 o'clock.

✓ I usually eat snacks with my tea, normally in the evening, once after 3 o'clock.

No grammar correction needed; sentence correctly uses present simple for habitual action.

× When I was very young, my grandparents and my parents usually gave me teas on the evening with fried snacks, so I follow that in my life.

✓ When I was very young, my grandparents and my parents usually gave me tea in the evening with fried snacks, so I follow that habit in my life.

Errors: plural 'teas' is incorrect when referring to servings of tea; use 'tea' (uncountable). 'On the evening' is wrong preposition; use 'in the evening'. 'Follow that in my life' is vague; 'follow that habit in my life' is clearer. Maintain past tense for the first clause and present simple for the continuing habit.

× No, I don't think so because Friday's snacks contain oil and sugar that is negative for our health.

✓ No, I don't think so because fried snacks contain oil and sugar, which are bad for our health.

Errors: 'Friday's' is a misspelling of 'fried'. Use 'fried snacks'. The clause 'that is negative for our health' has a relative pronoun and agreement problem: use 'which are bad for our health' because 'oil and sugar' is plural and 'bad' is more natural than 'negative' here.

× Also, for me it is very difficult to stop eating snacks quickly.

✓ Also, for me it is very difficult to stop eating snacks quickly.

No grammar correction needed; present simple and adjective use are acceptable. If stylistic improvement is desired, 'stop eating snacks immediately' is clearer than 'quickly'.

× I need some time. After that I'll avoid everything that unhealthy for my health.

✓ I need some time. After that I'll avoid everything that is unhealthy for my health.

Missing verb 'is' in the relative clause 'that is unhealthy'. Add 'is' to form correct clause. 'For my health' is redundant with 'unhealthy', but acceptable.

× Yes, as I mentioned earlier, my grandparents send it.

✓ Yes, as I mentioned earlier, my grandparents sent it.

The action happened in the past, so use past tense 'sent' instead of present 'send'.

× My parents used to give me snacks with tea in the evening like banana fillet, chips, fries, etcetera.

✓ My parents used to give me snacks with tea in the evening, like banana fritters, chips, fries, etcetera.

Use past habitual 'used to' correctly; 'banana fillet' is incorrect word choice — likely 'banana fritters' or 'banana fritter'. Comma added for clarity.

× It is like our culture. So I.

✓ It is part of our culture, so I still do it.

Original fragment 'So I.' is incomplete and lacks a verb. Combine sentences and complete the thought: 'It is part of our culture, so I still do it.' maintains meaning and correct sentence structure.

× I like banana fillet very much because it is easy to make and it shows that low and traditional for family.

✓ I like banana fritters very much because they are easy to make and show family tradition and simplicity.

Errors: 'banana fillet' should be 'banana fritters'. Subject-verb agreement: 'it is easy' -> 'they are easy' if using plural 'fritters'. Phrase 'shows that low and traditional for family' is ungrammatical; replace with 'show family tradition and simplicity' to convey intended meaning.

× It is not available in other countries, only available in Kerala with banana and some flour.

✓ They are not available in other countries; they are only available in Kerala and are made from banana and some flour.

If referring to 'banana fritters' (plural), use plural pronoun 'they' and plural verbs 'are'. Clarified structure with two clauses and added 'made from' to explain ingredients.

× So I love to eat that one.

✓ So I love to eat them.

Pronoun agreement: 'that one' is singular but refers to plural 'banana fritters'. Use 'them' for plural, or 'that' if referring to the snack generally: 'So I love to eat that.'
