Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a direct topic sentence, correct grammar, and be concise. Use one clear sentence stating your favourite food or that it varies, then add one supporting reason with a linking word. Avoid repetition and keep under five sentences.

Example: I don't have one single favourite food because it depends on my mood and what I feel like eating. For example, when I'm tired I prefer something simple like noodles, but when I'm celebrating I choose a special dish such as roast chicken.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence naming the food you liked as a child, then give specific reasons and use linking words. Correct sentence structure and vocabulary: use ‘ulam’ (not olam), and avoid asking the examiner questions. Keep it concise.

Example: When I was young, I loved ulam like adobo, which is a classic Filipino dish. I liked it because the meat was tender and the sauce was savory and tangy, so it felt comforting and familiar.

Suggestion: Answer directly and then explain with specific details and linking words. Correct grammar: say ‘I am allergic to shrimp’ and avoid repetition. Mention seasons or festivals if relevant to show variety.

Example: Yes, I do eat different foods during the year. For instance, I avoid shrimp because I am allergic to it, so I eat more beef and chicken instead; during festivals I also enjoy special desserts that we only make at certain times.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence about whether your favourite has changed, then briefly explain why with specific details and linking words. Use correct tense and smoother phrasing; avoid repeating phrases and be sensitive when mentioning personal matters.

Example: Yes, my favourite food has changed since I was a child. My mother's cooking used to be my favourite because it was very comforting, but since she passed away I prefer simple dishes like eggs and rice because they are easy to make and remind me of home.

× My favorite food is depends on my mood, what I see, what I like, what I want I want buy.

✓ My favorite food depends on my mood, what I see, what I like, and what I want to buy.

The original sentence incorrectly uses 'is depends' which mixes 'to be' with a verb; use simple present 'depends' for habitual fact. Also add 'and' before final item and include 'to' in 'to buy'. Ensure parallel structure for the list items. Suggested improvement: Use subject + simple present verb for general statements (My favorite food depends...). Use parallel forms in lists and include necessary infinitive markers ('to buy').

× Did you know what is olam in Filipino?

✓ Do you know what 'olam' is in Filipino?

Question form 'Did you know' implies past and is unnecessary; the intended meaning asks for current knowledge, so use 'Do you know'. Within embedded question use subject-verb order 'what olam is' rather than 'what is olam'. Suggested improvement: For embedded questions, use statement word order (what + subject + verb). Use correct auxiliary for present knowledge ('do you know').

× The olam is the traditional cook of Filipino.

✓ Olam is a traditional Filipino dish.

The original uses 'cook' (person) instead of 'dish' and 'Filipino' needs to modify 'dish' (adjective). Use phrasing 'traditional Filipino dish'. Also remove unnecessary article before a proper noun 'Olam' if treated as a dish name. Suggested improvement: Ensure nouns and adjectives match (dish vs cook) and place nationality adjective before the noun ('Filipino dish').

× That's why my favorite olam is adobo.

✓ That's why my favorite olam is adobo.

Keep as is but note: 'olam' is not standard; if using it, this sentence is structurally correct. No grammatical change needed. Explanation: Sentence correctly uses linking verb 'is' to identify favorite dish. (No change except retaining consistency with earlier correction.)

× Why did adobo is my favorite?

✓ Why is adobo my favorite?

The original mixes past auxiliary 'did' with present 'is', creating an ungrammatical question. For asking reasons in present, use 'Why is adobo my favorite?'. Suggested improvement: Form questions with correct auxiliary based on tense: do/does for simple present, did for past, or invert subject and verb for 'be'.

× Adobo is super simply as food and favorite Filipino food.

✓ Adobo is very simple as a food and is my favorite Filipino dish.

'Simply' is an adverb incorrectly used; use adjective 'simple'. Also need article 'a' before 'food' and better phrasing 'is my favorite Filipino dish'. Ensure verb 'is' appears for both descriptions or combine appropriately. Suggested improvement: Use adjectives to describe nouns (simple), include articles where needed, and keep parallel sentence parts ('is ... and is ...' or combine into one clause).

× Yes, but it depends on my allergy.

✓ Yes, but it depends on my allergies.

Use plural 'allergies' when speaking generally, or 'depends on my allergy to shrimp' for specificity. The preposition 'on' is correct; the issue is number agreement. Suggested improvement: Use plural when referring to general allergic conditions or specify the allergy with 'to'.

× I have allergic on shrimp so it depends on my allergic.

✓ I am allergic to shrimp, so it depends on my allergy.

Use the adjective 'allergic' with 'to' (allergic to shrimp) or noun 'allergy to shrimp'. The original 'have allergic on' is incorrect structure; change to 'I am allergic to shrimp' and refer to 'my allergy'. Suggested improvement: Use 'be' + allergic + to, or 'have an allergy to'.

× I eat meat, beef but though I don't want shrimp.

✓ I eat meat, like beef, but I don't want shrimp.

The original misuses 'though' and has awkward punctuation. Use 'like' to give an example (beef), and use 'but' to contrast. Also include commas appropriately. Suggested improvement: Use 'like' for examples and avoid double contrast words (but though). Keep simple clauses: 'I eat meat, like beef, but I don't eat shrimp.'

× Mom's cook is my favorite food, but it changed since my mom is gone now and now I don't have I don't have favorite food I want.

✓ My mom's cooking was my favorite, but that changed since my mom is gone, and now I don't have a favorite food.

'Mom's cook' is incorrect; use 'my mom's cooking'. Use past tense 'was' or 'used to be' for a change since she left. Remove duplicated phrase 'I don't have'. Add article 'a' before 'favorite food'. Suggested improvement: Use possessive + gerund for prepared food ('my mom's cooking'), choose correct tense for change ('was' or 'used to be'), and avoid repetition.

× Simple food like egg.

✓ I prefer simple foods like eggs.

Sentence fragment lacking a finite verb; make it a full sentence. Use plural 'eggs' for general examples and 'prefer' to express preference. Alternatively, 'Simple food, like eggs.' as a phrase, but full sentence is clearer. Suggested improvement: Include a verb to form a complete sentence and use plural for general statements about food items.
