Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence naming the favourite food, give one or two specific reasons (freshness, ingredients, atmosphere), and avoid repetition and unclear phrases. Use linking words to connect points and correct small grammar errors (e.g., “I eat it” not “I eat them”; “made by the chef” not “made it from the chef itself”). Keep to 2–4 sentences.

Example: My favourite food is sushi. I usually eat it at a restaurant in Avenues Mall because the fish is always very fresh and the chefs prepare each roll carefully. Also, I enjoy the calm atmosphere there, which makes dining more pleasant.

Suggestion: Provide a clear contrast with correct grammar and smoother linking. Begin with a direct topic sentence about childhood preference, then use a linking phrase (e.g., “but as I grew up”) to explain the change with specific reasons (health, digestion). Avoid fillers and incorrect verb forms (“grown” → “grew”).

Example: When I was young, I loved Italian food, especially pasta and pizza. However, as I grew up I switched to seafood because it is healthier and easier on my stomach, so I eat more fish and shellfish now.

Suggestion: Be specific and complete: answer the question directly, then give one or two concrete examples of seasonal foods and occasions. Use linking words (e.g., “for example”, “during”) and avoid vague phrases and unfinished sentences. Keep the response to 2–3 clear sentences.

Example: Yes, I do. For example, I eat more soups and stews during winter to stay warm, while in summer I prefer salads and grilled fish. I also eat special dishes like roast lamb at family gatherings and festive parties.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a concise topic sentence and give specific examples of new favourite foods and reasons for the change. Correct small grammar and word order errors (e.g., “it’s changed to Lebanese food”, “I really enjoy Lebanese dishes such as kebab and shawarma”). Avoid repeating words like “actually” and “really”.

Example: Yes, my favourite food has changed: now I prefer Lebanese cuisine. I especially enjoy dishes like kebab and shawarma because they are full of flavour and use fresh herbs and spices.

× I like sushi a lot and I like to eat them in a restaurant that's located in Avenues Mall and I really enjoy their sushi.

✓ I like sushi a lot and I like to eat it in a restaurant located in Avenues Mall, and I really enjoy its sushi.

The pronoun 'them' refers to plural items, but 'sushi' is treated as an uncountable noun here and should take the singular pronoun 'it' or be referred with 'its' for the restaurant. Use 'it' for uncountable nouns and 'its' to show possession by the restaurant. Suggestion: Use 'it' for sushi and 'its' for the restaurant's sushi to keep pronoun agreement.

× It's fresh and I really like my sushi.

✓ It's fresh and I really like the sushi there.

'My sushi' implies ownership which is odd in this context; the speaker likely means the restaurant's sushi. Changing to 'the sushi there' clarifies meaning and fits natural sentence structure. Suggestion: Avoid possessive 'my' when referring to food served at a restaurant; use 'the' plus location if needed.

× Well done. I made it from the chef itself.

✓ Well done. I had it made by the chef.

The original is ungrammatical and unclear. 'I made it from the chef itself' incorrectly uses 'made from' and 'itself'. To express that the speaker had the chef prepare the dish, use the causative 'had it made by the chef.' Suggestion: Use causative constructions (have/get + object + past participle) to indicate someone else did the action.

× I really enjoyed uh, Italian food when I was a child, but when I grown up I really switched to seafood food because it's way much, uh, healthier and it's easy, uh, on the stomach.

✓ I really enjoyed Italian food when I was a child, but when I grew up I switched to seafood because it's much healthier and easier on the stomach.

'Grown up' is a past participle; the correct simple past is 'grew up.' 'Switched' is fine in past. 'Way much' is nonstandard; use 'much' or 'much healthier.' 'Seafood food' is redundant; use 'seafood.' 'It's easy on the stomach' should be 'easier on the stomach' to compare with previous diet. Suggestion: Use simple past 'grew up' for finished past actions and prefer concise comparative forms like 'much healthier' and 'easier on the stomach.'

× Well, actually yes I do. I do actually eat specific foods in a different specific seasons, specific parties.

✓ Well, actually yes I do. I eat specific foods in different seasons and at specific parties.

Redundant adverbs 'do actually' are unnecessary; simple present 'I eat' is sufficient for habitual actions. 'A different specific seasons' is ungrammatical: use 'different seasons.' Add 'at' before 'specific parties' for correct preposition use. Suggestion: Remove redundant words and use correct prepositions: 'in different seasons' and 'at specific parties.'

× Well, it's really do depends on the. Party itself, you know, and the season itself, but I usually, uh.

✓ Well, it really depends on the party itself, you know, and the season, but usually I...

'It's really do depends' mixes auxiliary forms; correct is 'it really depends.' 'On the. Party' has an erroneous period and spacing. The clause ends abruptly; rearrange to 'but usually I...' if continuing. Ensure subject-verb alignment and remove extra words. Suggestion: Use 'it really depends on the party and the season' and finish the sentence with the intended action.

× Yes, it changed quite a lot actually, but I it's changed to Lebanese food actually.

✓ Yes, it changed quite a lot actually, but it changed to Lebanese food.

'I it's changed' is ungrammatical with mixed subject pronouns. The subject for 'changed' is 'it' (favourite food), so use 'it changed.' Remove duplicate 'actually.' Suggestion: Keep subject consistent and avoid repeating filler words.

× I really enjoy now Lebanese in food such as kebab, shawarma, I really enjoy them there, so delicious.

✓ I really enjoy Lebanese food now, such as kebab and shawarma; I really enjoy them there — they're so delicious.

Incorrect word order 'enjoy now Lebanese in food' should be 'enjoy Lebanese food now.' Use 'and' to list items (kebab and shawarma). 'Enjoy them there' implies location; add a clause 'they're so delicious' or 'they are so delicious' for clarity. Also add a comma or semicolon to separate clauses. Suggestion: Place adverbs like 'now' after the verb or subject ('I really enjoy Lebanese food now') and use proper connectors when listing items.
