Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence naming your favourite food, avoid slang or crude expressions, and give one or two specific supporting reasons using linking words. Keep to under five sentences and use more appropriate vocabulary than “puke.”

Example: My favourite dish is carbonara, especially when it has a creamy sauce and crispy bacon. I prefer it because the rich flavours and smooth texture are comforting. However, I generally avoid raw vegetables, as their taste and texture do not appeal to me.

Suggestion: Provide a clear past-tense opening sentence and add one specific example or memory. Use linking words (for example, because) and avoid repetition. Vary vocabulary: use adjectives like 'very spicy' or 'strongly flavored' instead of 'super.'

Example: When I was young, I enjoyed spicy and sour foods. For example, I often ate spicy noodle soup because the heat and tangy broth made the meal exciting and memorable.

Suggestion: Answer directly and structurally: use present tense for habits and give one or two specific seasonal examples with a linking phrase. Avoid filler words like 'uh' and vague phrases like 'whatever.' Keep to 2–3 sentences maximum.

Example: Yes, I eat different foods depending on the season. For instance, I prefer hot soups and stews in winter for warmth, while in summer I choose lighter dishes like salads and fresh fruit because they are refreshing.

Suggestion: Respond with a clear topic sentence in the present perfect or simple present, then give a concise reason and one brief example. Avoid repeating the same point and informal language. Use linking words such as 'because' or 'however' to connect ideas and correct tense forms ('grown up').

Example: No, my preferences have not changed much. I still enjoy spicy and sour flavours because I grew up eating them, although I still avoid certain vegetables as I find their texture unpleasant.

× I like everything as long as it is edible and it is tasty.

✓ I like everything as long as it is edible and tasty.

Using 'it is' twice is redundant. Combine adjectives with 'and' after a single 'is' to make the sentence concise and natural. Suggestion: omit the second 'it is'.

× Tasty and oh, I like carbonara salad but I don't like veggies.

✓ Oh, I like carbonara salad, but I don't like vegetables.

Beginning with 'Tasty and oh' is informal and unclear. Use 'Oh' as an interjection, include a comma, and use the full word 'vegetables' for formality and clarity.

× It makes me puke.

✓ They make me puke.

The subject refers to 'veggies' (plural), so the verb should agree in number. Also, 'puke' is informal; consider 'vomit' or 'feel sick' in formal speech.

× What kind of food did you like when you were young? - I like spicy foods.

✓ When I was young, I liked spicy foods.

The question asks about the past, so the answer should use past tense 'liked' instead of present 'like' to match timeframe.

× I like super spicy foods because it makes me feel the food so tasty and I also like the sour foods.

✓ I liked very spicy foods because they made the food taste so good, and I also liked sour foods.

Past context requires past tense verbs: 'liked' and 'made'. Use 'they' to refer to plural 'foods'. 'So tasty' is better expressed as 'taste so good'. Avoid unnecessary definite article before 'sour foods'.

× Yes, I ate different foods at different times of the year. Uh, whatever. I see foods, I like to eat them all, but I don't have enough money to buy everything foods.

✓ Yes, I ate different foods at different times of the year. Uh, whatever. When I see foods, I like to eat them all, but I don't have enough money to buy every food.

'I see foods' needs a clearer phrase like 'When I see foods'. 'Everything foods' is ungrammatical; use 'every food' or 'everything' depending on meaning. 'Every food' fits here to indicate each item.

× But yes, I like different foods.

✓ But yes, I liked different foods.

Because the student was answering about past seasonal eating, maintain past tense 'liked' to be consistent with earlier sentence 'I ate'.

× No it is still the same because now that I grow up I still like spicy foods and sour foods but I don't really like veggies because it makes me puke like I said earlier so it doesn't change even the even though I am grow up now.

✓ No, it is still the same because now that I have grown up I still like spicy and sour foods, but I don't really like vegetables because they make me sick as I said earlier, so it hasn't changed even though I have grown up.

Several issues: 'now that I grow up' is incorrect tense—use present perfect 'have grown up'. 'Veggies' -> 'vegetables'. Subject-verb agreement: plural 'vegetables' takes 'make' not 'makes'. Use 'make me sick' instead of 'make me puke' for politeness. 'It doesn't change' about past-to-present should be 'it hasn't changed'. Remove redundant words 'even the even though'.
