Grammar

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× I prefer a lot of food, for example vegetables and fruit such as potato, tomato, Chinese cabbage and watermelon, lemon, watermelon and so on. We can help me stay healthy.

I like many kinds of food, for example vegetables and fruits such as potatoes, tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, lemons and watermelon. They can help me stay healthy.

句中“prefer a lot of food”用法不自然,應改為“like many kinds of food”。“fruit”做可數時需用複數“fruits”;單詞如“potato/ tomato/ lemon”在列舉時需用複數形式。最後一句主語應為“they”(指前面的食物),而不是“we”,且動詞應用“can help me stay healthy”。建議:列舉可數名詞用複數,量詞用“many kinds of / a lot of”放在名詞前,保持主語與指代一致。

Present tense issue

× When I was young, I prefer cake, apple juice, chocolate and so on. However, my mom told me this food is unhealthy. However, nowadays I prefer vegetables and fruit. I think it can help me healthy.

When I was young, I preferred cake, apple juice, chocolate and so on. However, my mom told me these foods were unhealthy. Nowadays I prefer vegetables and fruits. I think they can help me stay healthy.

句子描述過去經歷,動詞需用過去時,所以“prefer”改為“preferred”。“this food”指多種食物,應用複數“these foods”且保持過去時“were”。現代情況可用現在時“prefer”。“help me healthy”結構錯誤,應為“help me stay healthy”或“help me be healthy”。建議:描述過去事件使用過去時,注意單複數一致,以及常用固定搭配“help someone do sth”或“help someone stay/keep + adjective”。

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, of course, I often eat different food at different time. For example, during the Spring festival, I often eat deals with my family for family togetherness. However, uh, during the mid autumn festival, I often eat mooncake because this Chinese traditional culture.

Yes, of course, I often eat different foods at different times. For example, during the Spring Festival, I often eat special dishes with my family to celebrate family togetherness. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I often eat mooncakes because of this Chinese traditional culture.

“different food at different time”中“food”和“time”應為複數,改為“different foods at different times”。“eat deals”是錯誤搭配,應為“eat dishes”或“eat special dishes”。短語“for family togetherness”語意可,但用“to celebrate family togetherness”更自然。說明原因時需用“because of”引出原因。建議:注意固定介詞搭配(e.g. during, because of, with),保持名詞單複數一致並使用正確的詞語(dishes 而非 deals)。

Past tense issue

× When I was young, I often eat chocolate cake, drink apple juice and so on. However, my mom told me this food is unhealthy for me. Nowadays, I often eat healthy food, for example vegetables and fruit such as Chinese cabbage.

When I was young, I often ate chocolate cake, drank apple juice and so on. However, my mom told me those foods were unhealthy for me. Nowadays, I often eat healthy foods, for example vegetables and fruits such as Chinese cabbage.

描述過去習慣時需用過去時,所以“eat/drink”改為“ate/drank”。“this food”指多種食物,應用複數“those foods”並用過去時“were”。現代習慣應用複數“healthy foods”或“healthy food”視語境,但列舉時“vegetables and fruits”更恰當。建議:過去習慣用過去時(used to 或過去時),注意指代的單複數一致。
