Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence naming the dish, then add 1–2 specific supporting details (ingredients, taste, availability) using linking words. Reduce fillers (“like”, “umm”) and correct small grammar errors (e.g., “my culture food” → “my country’s traditional food”, “a meat like different kinds of vegetables” → “meat or vegetables”).

Example: My favourite food is momo, a traditional dumpling from my country. It is filled with either minced meat or mixed vegetables and seasoned with garlic and spices, which makes it very flavorful. Also, momos are inexpensive and available at many street stalls, so I can eat them often.

Suggestion: Open with a direct topic sentence about the childhood preference, then add one or two concrete supporting reasons. Avoid repetition and filler words, and use linking words (e.g., “because”, “so”). Fix small grammar (e.g., “in every shops” → “in every shop”).

Example: When I was young, I often ate chow mein because it was very common and cheap. Because many shops sold it, my friends and I could buy it after school, so it became a favourite snack for many young people.

Suggestion: Provide a clearer, specific answer with one or two seasonal examples and use linking words to connect ideas. Avoid vague phrases and fillers; state exactly which foods you eat in which season and why (e.g., weather, festivals). Correct dish name: “dal bhat”.

Example: Yes, I eat different foods depending on the season. For example, in winter I prefer warm soups and stews, while in the summer I eat lighter dishes such as salads and cold rice noodles. Last winter I often had dal bhat with vegetables because it felt warming and nutritious.

Suggestion: Answer directly and contrast past and present with clear linking words (e.g., “used to… but now…”). Give specific reasons for the change (health, taste, lifestyle) and correct dish name (“dal bhat” or “dal bhat”). Reduce fillers and repetition.

Example: Yes, my favourite food has changed. I used to eat a lot of chow mein because it was cheap and convenient, but now I prefer dal bhat and more vegetables because I want healthier and more balanced meals. As a result, I eat fewer fried noodles and more home-cooked dishes.

× Well, I prefer my culture food like Momo.

✓ Well, I prefer my cultural food, such as momo.

'Culture food' is incorrect adjective-noun combination. Use the adjective 'cultural' to describe food related to culture and 'such as' or 'like' to introduce examples. Also capitalize common noun 'momo' only if it's a proper name. Use a comma before the example.

× It's very popular in our country.

✓ It is very popular in my country.

'Our country' is acceptable but context suggests speaking about the student's country; 'my country' is more natural. This is a subtle usage/quantifier/context choice rather than a strict grammar error; adjust pronoun for clarity.

× Like it's also very easy to make.

✓ It is also very easy to make.

Starting a sentence with 'Like' is informal filler and unnecessary. Use 'It is also very easy to make' for a clear, grammatical sentence.

× We just use flour and a meat like different kinds of vegetables we put in here.

✓ We use flour and meat, and we put different kinds of vegetables inside.

'A meat' is incorrect; 'meat' is uncountable in this context. The sentence structure is awkward; separate items with commas and use 'inside' or 'in them'. Remove filler 'just' unless needed. Streamline to subject-verb-object order.

× Like it's very delicious and we can get in all shops.

✓ It is very delicious and we can get it in shops everywhere.

The phrase 'get in all shops' is awkward and the pronoun 'it' is missing. Use 'get it in shops everywhere' or 'find it in all shops' to convey availability. Preposition 'in' with 'get' needs an object.

× What kind of food did you like when you were young?

✓ What kind of food did you like when you were young?

This sentence is already correct; past tense 'did you like' matches the question about childhood. No change needed.

× So when I was young, I used to eat like chow Mein, It's very like common food in Nepal, like in every shops we can easily find there.

✓ When I was young, I used to eat chow mein. It was a very common food in Nepal; you could easily find it in every shop.

Run-on and tense inconsistency: 'It's' should be past tense 'it was' to match 'used to'. 'Chow mein' should be lowercased. 'In every shops' is incorrect plural/preposition use; use 'in every shop' or 'in shops everywhere'. Also replace filler 'like' and split into two sentences for clarity.

× So all nowadays also young people prefer eating chow Mein because it's affordable in price too.

✓ Nowadays, many young people also prefer eating chow mein because it is affordable.

'So all nowadays also' is ungrammatical; reorder to 'Nowadays, many young people also...' 'Affordable in price' is redundant; 'affordable' suffices. Maintain consistent casing and remove filler words.

× Uh, yes, definitely. Uh, I eat like different kinds of foods, uh, like different times of year.

✓ Yes, definitely. I eat different kinds of food at different times of the year.

Remove filler 'like' and repeated ums. Use singular 'food' as an uncountable noun with 'different kinds of' and the preposition 'at' for times of year. This produces a concise, grammatical sentence.

× For example, umm, last year I ate like more more and tell me, umm, but this year we just had like roti and Dal bath, which is very healthy food in our country.

✓ For example, last year I ate a lot of different foods, but this year we mainly ate roti and dal bhat, which is a very healthy dish in our country.

Original contains filler, repetition and unclear phrase 'tell me'. Use 'ate a lot of different foods' for past habit. 'Dal bath' should be 'dal bhat'. Use 'a very healthy dish' for natural wording and consistent tense.

× Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?

✓ Has your favorite food changed since you were a child?

Question is correct; only American/British spelling difference 'favorite/favourite' applies. No grammatical change needed.

× Uh, yes, definitely it is.

✓ Yes, it has.

Answer to 'Has your favourite food changed...' should use present perfect: 'Yes, it has.' 'Yes, definitely it is' is unidiomatic and mixes tenses/modal structure incorrectly.

× Like in young, I used to eat like prefer a lot of chow Mein and more more like umm in another shops I can get easily.

✓ When I was young, I used to prefer chow mein and could easily get it in many shops.

'In young' is incorrect; use 'when I was young'. Remove filler 'like' and repetition. 'Prefer a lot of chow mein' is awkward; use 'used to prefer chow mein'. 'In another shops' should be 'in many shops' and adjust modal/can to past 'could'.

× But now I just, uh, focus on my healthy foods.

✓ But now I focus on healthy foods.

Remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary 'my'. 'Focus on healthy foods' is clearer and uses present simple to describe current habitual action.

× Like I love to eat Dal bag.

✓ I love to eat dal bhat.

'Dal bag' appears to be a misspelling; correct traditional name is 'dal bhat'. Remove leading filler 'Like'. Ensure consistent lowercase unless a proper noun.

× It's very healthy and I love to eat different kinds of green vegetables.

✓ It is very healthy, and I love to eat different kinds of green vegetables.

Grammatically this is fine; only change is to replace contraction 'It's' with 'It is' for formality and add a comma before conjunction. Keep plural 'vegetables' and 'different kinds of' for variety.
