Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, give 1–2 specific reasons with linking words, and avoid repetition. Use varied vocabulary (e.g., creamy, savory, comforting) and keep to 2–4 sentences. Mention a brief personal detail or example to make it specific.

Example: My favourite food is carbonara because I love its creamy, savory sauce and the smoky taste of pancetta. When I eat it I feel transported to Italy, and I often cook it myself on weekends as a comfort meal.

Suggestion: Answer the past preference directly with a clear topic sentence, then contrast with the present using a linking word (e.g., however, but). Be specific about a food you liked as a child and give a short reason or memory. Keep sentences simple and grammatical.

Example: When I was young I liked simple foods such as plain rice and fried eggs because they were easy to eat. However, as I grew older I tried more dishes and eventually developed a taste for carbonara.

Suggestion: Keep the answer focused on the question about seasonal variation. Start with a direct reply, then briefly explain why, using linking words. Avoid over-personal or irrelevant details; one supporting example is enough.

Example: Not really — I tend to eat the same kinds of meals year-round because I grew up eating whatever my family prepared. For example, we rarely change ingredients by season, so my diet stays consistent.

Suggestion: Answer directly and briefly: say whether it changed, then give a specific reason or example. Use clear linking words (e.g., although, but) and avoid filler phrases like 'not that I'm old.' Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: My favourite food has changed somewhat: I didn't have a strong favourite as a child, but as I tried more dishes over the years I settled on carbonara because of its rich flavour and comforting texture.

× It's the kind of dish that I don't want to let go.

✓ It's the kind of dish that I don't want to let go of.

The verb phrase 'let go' requires the preposition 'of' when indicating something you do not want to release. Use 'let go of' for correct prepositional structure.

× And honestly, I am very tempted in its flavor and the feeling when you're eating it is like you're in Italy because I know that pasta is originally from Italy.

✓ Honestly, I am very tempted by its flavor, and the feeling when you eat it is like being in Italy because pasta is originally from Italy.

Use 'tempted by' not 'tempted in' to indicate the cause of temptation (preposition error). 'Eating it is like you're in Italy' is awkward: use simple present 'you eat' for general statements and 'like being in Italy' to avoid tense/person mismatch. Also remove extra 'I know that' for conciseness.

× Generally I don't really have a favorite food when I was young, but when I turned older and older I tasted very various kinds of dish and in its carbonara.

✓ Generally I didn't have a favorite food when I was young, but as I grew older I tried many different dishes, and it became carbonara.

The time expression 'when I was young' requires past tense 'didn't have' not present 'don't have'. 'Turned older and older' is unnatural; use 'grew older'. 'Tasted very various kinds of dish' is ungrammatical: use 'tried many different dishes'. 'and in its carbonara' is unclear; correct to 'and it became carbonara'.

× Not really because I'm I came from a very poor family and I'm not really picky when it comes to food.

✓ Not really, because I come from a very poor family and I'm not very picky when it comes to food.

The sentence contains an extra 'I' ('I'm I came'). Use present simple 'I come' to state background fact; 'I'm not very picky' is the correct adjective/adverb combination. Remove the redundant contraction.

× Whatever my parents cook, I eat them because I enjoy it because they cook it with pure love and happiness.

✓ Whatever my parents cook, I eat it because I enjoy it; they cook with pure love and happiness.

Pronoun reference and agreement: 'Whatever my parents cook' refers to 'it' (uncountable or the meal) so use singular 'it' not 'them'. Repetitive 'because' is reduced and clause separated for clarity.

× As I mentioned earlier, I don't have a particular favorite food when I was a child, but as I grew older I tasted different kinds of dish and it's still carbonara, not that I'm old.

✓ As I mentioned earlier, I didn't have a particular favorite food when I was a child, but as I grew older I tried different kinds of dishes, and it's still carbonara.

Mixing present 'don't have' with past time 'when I was a child' is incorrect; use past tense 'didn't have'. 'Tasted different kinds of dish' should be 'tried different kinds of dishes'. The phrase 'not that I'm old' is irrelevant and awkward, so it is omitted to keep the answer clear and appropriate.
