Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid repetition; start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details (flavour, memories, or ingredients). Use linking words (for example, because or which) to make it coherent. Also correct small grammar issues (e.g., “I used to eat a lot of biryani when I was a child” and avoid filler words).

Example: My favourite food is biryani. I love it because it is richly spiced and reminds me of home cooking — my mother makes it with fragrant basmati rice, tender meat and aromatic spices, which I ate often as a child.

Suggestion: Organize your answer: begin with a clear statement about childhood preferences, then give specific examples and a brief reason or result. Reduce fillers (“uh”, “like”) and correct grammar (past tense: I liked). Avoid irrelevant or unclear comments (e.g., "I was sweat" is confusing).

Example: When I was young, I liked spicy foods. For example, I often ate street food such as spicy noodles, momos and richly sauced pastas, which made me gain weight at the time. However, I am fit now because I exercise regularly.

Suggestion: Answer directly, then give clear, specific examples. Improve grammar (e.g., "season to season" → "from season to season", "rainy season it can leach" unclear — maybe "lychees"). Use linking words like "for example" and avoid repetition.

Example: Yes, I eat different foods depending on the season. For example, in summer I enjoy mangoes, while in the rainy season I eat lychees and warm soups; additionally, special occasions often mean different traditional dishes.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence stating whether it has changed, then explain why with specific reasons. Use correct tense and grammar ("has changed", "I gained weight"). Avoid fillers and keep it concise (max 5 sentences).

Example: Yes, my favourite food has changed since I was a child. I used to eat very spicy foods such as spicy noodles, but I gained weight and now I prefer lighter, healthier meals like salads and grilled fish.

× So my favorite food is biryani.

✓ My favorite food is biryani.

Remove the filler 'So' at the beginning of a short direct answer; it is not grammatically incorrect but is unnecessary and weakens the sentence. Keep responses concise in speaking tests.

× Like I used to eat a lot of biryanis like when I was in childhood.

✓ I used to eat a lot of biryani when I was a child.

Use uncountable noun 'biryani' rather than plural 'biryanis' in this context (quantifier issue). Also use 'when I was a child' instead of 'in childhood' for natural English. Remove repeated filler 'like'.

× So I always used to eat biryani because my mother is a great cook.

✓ I always used to eat biryani because my mother was a great cook.

When referring to past habitual action, 'used to' is correct. The clause 'my mother is a great cook' should match past timeframe if speaking about the past: change 'is' to past 'was'. This is a tense consistency issue.

× *** knows how to make good biryani.

✓ She knows how to make good biryani.

Replace placeholder '***' with the appropriate pronoun 'she' for clarity. Ensure subject is explicit. This fixes an incomplete/ambiguous subject.

× So that's why I love it more.

✓ That's why I love it so much.

Use the natural collocation 'love it so much' rather than 'love it more' here; 'more' implies a comparison that is not given. Also remove the initial filler 'So'.

× So when I was young, I like, uh, spicy foods, like that's why I gain a lot of weight.

✓ When I was young, I liked spicy foods, and I gained a lot of weight.

The time marker 'when I was young' requires past tense 'liked' not present 'like'. Also 'gain' should be past 'gained' for past result. Remove fillers and connect with 'and' for clarity.

× So I like different kinds of spicy, uh, the like pastas, momos, uh, so like different kinds of street food.

✓ I liked different kinds of spicy foods, such as pasta, momos, and various street foods.

Use plural 'spicy foods' and correct noun forms 'pasta' (uncountable) and 'momos'. Replace vague filler 'the like' with 'such as' for clarity and correct list punctuation. This fixes adjective/noun usage and clarity.

× So it, uh, gained my lot of weight.

✓ They made me gain a lot of weight.

Original sentence is ungrammatical. Use an active subject 'They' (referring to foods) and verb phrase 'made me gain' or 'caused me to gain' for correct structure. Also use 'a lot of weight' not 'my lot of weight'.

× So that's why I was sweat.

✓ So that's why I was sweaty.

Use adjective 'sweaty' to describe a person, not 'sweat' which is a noun. This corrects incorrect adjective use.

× But right now I, I am fit.

✓ But right now I am fit.

Remove repeated 'I' (speech filler). The tense 'am' is correct for present condition; remove disfluency for clarity.

× Yes, I eat different foods of the different times of the year because in different seasons different kinds of fruits are available.

✓ Yes, I eat different foods at different times of the year because different kinds of fruits are available in different seasons.

Use preposition 'at' with 'times of the year'. Move 'in different seasons' to a natural position. Avoid repeating 'different' unnecessarily.

× Just like in summer you can eat the mangoes or in rainy season it can leach.

✓ For example, in summer you can eat mangoes, and in the rainy season you can eat lychee.

Do not use the definite article with 'mangoes' in general. Use 'the rainy season' and correct fruit name 'lychee' (not 'leach'). Use parallel structure 'you can eat ... and ...'.

× So it depends on the season to season.

✓ So it depends on the season.

'Season to season' is redundant. Use the concise 'depends on the season' to convey meaning.

× Otherwise when you go to the occasion you are you are taste different.

✓ Also, when you go to special occasions, you get to taste different foods.

Original sentence has repeated words and incorrect verb forms. Use 'get to taste' or 'taste' with correct noun 'foods' and specify 'special occasions' for clarity.

× Yes, my favorite food change since I was a child because in childhood I liked so many spicy foods like uh, for example, umm, it's more, more uh, noodles.

✓ Yes, my favorite food has changed since I was a child because when I was a child I liked many spicy foods; for example, I used to eat a lot of noodles.

Use present perfect 'has changed' for a change that began in the past and continues to now. Use 'when I was a child' instead of 'in childhood'. Use past habitual 'used to eat' and correct quantifier 'many' and 'a lot of noodles'. Remove fillers.

× So it gives me some, I gains a lot of weight and because of this, so I don't want to eat this food again.

✓ They caused me to gain a lot of weight, and because of that I don't want to eat those foods anymore.

Use 'caused me to gain' for past causation; 'gains' is incorrect (subject-verb agreement and tense). Use plural 'those foods' and 'anymore' for negative continuation. Clarify pronouns and tense.
