Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be clearer and more concise. Start with a direct topic sentence naming the favourite food (e.g., hot pot), then give one or two specific reasons using linking words (because, and). Avoid unclear words and reduce repetition; keep it within 3–4 sentences. Pronunciation and word choice need attention (e.g., 'buffs' unclear, 'hapa' likely 'hot pot').

Example: My favourite food is hot pot. I like it because there are many ingredients to choose from, so I can pick vegetables and meats that suit me — I don't eat beef or lamb. Also, I have fond memories of my father taking me to hot pot dinners when I was a child, which makes it special.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and support it with one concise reason and a brief contrast. Use linking words (although, but) and correct grammar (e.g., 'even though I don't like it now'). Avoid filler phrases like 'you know' and repeated words.

Example: When I was young, I loved chocolate. Although I don't enjoy it much now, children usually prefer sweets because they are comforting and easy to eat.

Suggestion: Answer the question directly, then give one specific reason and an example. Correct vocabulary and phrasing (e.g., 'picky about food', 'I usually eat the same dishes year-round'). Avoid unclear references (what is 'Stanford' or 'Sacha's'). Keep it to 2–3 sentences and use linking words such as 'because' or 'so'.

Example: Not really — I usually eat the same foods throughout the year because I'm picky about what I like. For example, I tend to eat hot pot, sushi and ramen most of the time, and I don't try new fusion dishes.

Suggestion: Provide a clear opening statement about whether your favourite food has changed, then give specific examples of foods that stayed the same and one that changed, using linking words (however, but). Fix grammar (e.g., 'I no longer like sweets'). Aim for 2–3 coherent sentences.

Example: My favourite foods have both changed and stayed the same. For example, I still enjoy ramen, hot pot and sushi, but I no longer like sweets as much as I did when I was a child.

× I would say how part 'cause there are a lot of buffs I can choose and I can choose what vegetables and meat I want to eat 'cause I don't eat beef and lamb.

✓ I would say hot pot because there are a lot of broths I can choose from, and I can choose what vegetables and meat I want to eat because I don't eat beef or lamb.

The original sentence has incorrect words and pronoun-like references: 'how part' is likely a mishearing of 'hot pot'; 'buffs' should be 'broths' or 'buffet' depending on meaning. Also 'or' should be used between two alternatives (beef or lamb) rather than 'and'. Use 'choose from' after 'choose' when indicating options. Correcting these gives clear meaning and correct pronoun/word usage.

× And also when I was a kid, my dad always took me to have hapa as a dinner.

✓ Also, when I was a kid my dad always took me to have hot pot for dinner.

The verb phrase 'took me to have' is awkward; 'took me to have hot pot for dinner' or 'took me to eat hot pot for dinner' is natural. 'Hapa' appears to be a misspelling of 'hot pot'. 'For dinner' is the correct prepositional phrase. Past tense 'took' is correct so only word choice and preposition needed.

× When I was young, I really liked chocolate. Even I don't really like it now.

✓ When I was young, I really liked chocolate, although I don't really like it now.

The clause starting with 'Even' is awkward in this context; 'although' or 'but' better connects past preference with current dislike. The tenses are correct (past then present), so replace the connector for correct sentence flow.

× You know, everybody knows that children like sweet, so chocolate is the best choice for kids, I I think.

✓ You know, everyone knows that children like sweets, so chocolate is the best choice for kids, I think.

Redundant phrasing 'everybody knows' is acceptable but 'children like sweet' is ungrammatical; use the plural noun 'sweets'. Also remove repeated 'I' and place 'I think' at the end separated by a comma. 'Everyone' or 'everybody' is fine; keep consistent punctuation.

× Not really, I'm really picky at food.

✓ Not really. I'm really picky about food.

The correct preposition with 'picky' is 'about', not 'at'. Also replace the comma with a period or semicolon to separate sentences. 'Picky about food' is the standard collocation.

× I always eat Stanford like Sacha's hot pot and sushi and ramen.

✓ I always eat the same things, like hot pot, sushi, and ramen.

'Stanford' appears to be a mistaken word; likely intended 'same' or 'standard'. Also list items with commas and include 'the' for 'the same things'. Proper nouns like 'Sacha's' are unclear here; simplify to generic food items for clarity.

× I don't like to chat to new style food or fusion.

✓ I don't like to try new-style food or fusion cuisine.

'Chat to' is incorrect; the intended verb is 'try'. Use 'new-style' as a compound adjective and 'fusion cuisine' is the natural phrase. Preposition 'to' after 'chat' is inappropriate in this context.

× It's kind of.

✓ It's kind of strange.

'It's kind of' is incomplete without an adjective. Add an adjective such as 'strange' or 'different' to complete the thought.

× Well, some did, some didn't. Phone. I was a kid to.

✓ Well, some changed and some didn't. When I was a kid, too, I liked them.

The original contains fragments and unclear words ('Phone. I was a kid to.'). Convert fragments into complete sentences: 'some changed and some didn't' and a clear past reference 'When I was a kid, too.' Ensure verbs and subjects are present.

× Now I still like ramen, hot pot, and sushi, but I like no longer. I no longer like sweet.

✓ Now I still like ramen, hot pot, and sushi, but I no longer like sweets.

The phrase 'but I like no longer' is ungrammatical; correct form is 'but I no longer like...'. Use 'sweets' plural. Maintain present simple tense for current preferences.
