× Eating how put with my friends also makes me feel happy and relaxed.
✓ Eating and hanging out with my friends also makes me feel happy and relaxed.
原句词序混乱且使用了错误的短语“how put”。此处想表达“和朋友一起吃、聚会”应使用并列动词短语“eating and hanging out”。此外主语“Eating and hanging out”作为复合主语视为单一活动时可用单数动词“makes”。建议按英语习惯把要表达的动作用正确短语并列。
× My grandma often made homemade desserts for me and they taste much more delicious than bought ones.
✓ My grandma often made homemade desserts for me and they tasted much more delicious than bought ones.
主句使用过去时“made”,从句也应使用一致的过去时“tasted”。原句中从句用了现在时“taste”,时态不一致。建议在叙述过去的习惯或经历时,整句采用过去时。
× Absolutely, In hot summer I prefer light and cold food such as acid tea, while in cold winter I always choose warm meals like soup and hot pot to make me feel comfortable and warm.
✓ Absolutely. In hot summer I prefer light and cold foods such as iced tea, while in cold winter I always choose warm meals like soup and hot pot to make me feel comfortable and warm.
句中存在多个小问题:(1) 首字母大写和标点应分句为两个句子;(2) “food”在此泛指多类食物应使用复数“foods”或更自然地保持不可数“food”但与“such as”搭配时用复数更好;(3) “acid tea”用词不当,应为“iced tea”(冰茶)。根据语境使用一般现在时表示习惯是正确的,需修正词汇与数的用法。
× It has changed little. When I was young I used to only love sweet snacks, but now I prefer savory foods more.
✓ It has changed little. When I was young I used to only love sweet snacks, but now I prefer savory foods.
句尾“more”在比较中通常需要与比较对象并列(e.g., prefer A more than B)或省略。这里直接用“prefer savory foods”就足够表示现在更喜欢咸味食物。保留一般现在时表达现在的偏好。
× To be honest, my favorite food is hot pot. It tastes delicious and I can pick all kinds of vegetables and meats to cook by myself.
✓ To be honest, my favorite food is hot pot. It tastes delicious and I can pick all kinds of vegetables and meat to cook by myself.
“meat”作为不可数名词更常用于表示各种肉类的总称,用复数“meats”通常指不同种类的肉作为可数项,但在此处搭配“all kinds of”后更自然使用不可数“meat”或保持复数都可,推荐改为“meat”以符合英语习惯。
