Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× My favorite foods is uh Vietnamese traditional foods because the taste is fresh and healthy.

My favorite food is Vietnamese traditional food because the taste is fresh and healthy.

The noun should be singular to match 'favorite' which refers to a single category; 'foods' is plural and conflicts with the singular verb 'is'. Use singular 'food' for general preference. Suggestion: say 'My favorite food is Vietnamese traditional food' or 'My favorite foods are Vietnamese traditional dishes' if you mean multiple items.

Verb in the present participle form

× I usually have breakfast on a weekend in a local store umm and umm the price is lower and I can see that for any local.

I usually have breakfast on weekends at a local store because the prices are lower and I can see that for many locals.

Use plural 'weekends' for habitual action and preposition 'at' for location. 'Price' should be plural 'prices' to match general statement, and 'any local' is unidiomatic; use 'many locals' or 'local people'. Also change 'on a weekend' to 'on weekends' for regular habit.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× What kinds of food I like when I was young is, umm, sticky rice.

The kinds of food I liked when I was young were sticky rice.

In reported past you must use past tense 'liked' (subject-verb agreement in past). Also 'what kinds of food I like when I was young is' is ungrammatical structure; use 'The kinds of food I liked when I was young were...' to match plural 'kinds' with 'were'.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× You know, umm, sticky rice with, uh, chickens or pot or meat, umm umm, because it's easy to eat and the taste is very nice and healthy with children.

Sticky rice with chicken or pork or other meat, because it's easy to eat and tastes very nice and is healthy for children.

Use singular uncountable 'chicken' and correct 'pot' to 'pork'. Use 'tastes' for subject-verb agreement and 'healthy for children' rather than 'with children'. Also streamline list using 'or' correctly.

Present tense issue

× Maybe it's quite rarely because I live in Vietnam so I usually eat Vietnamese food.

Maybe quite rarely, because I live in Vietnam, so I usually eat Vietnamese food.

Position of adverb 'quite rarely' should be before the clause; commas improve clarity. Tense is correct but word order needed adjustment.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× However, when I travel abroad I like to try the local cuisine for of the country I visit.

However, when I travel abroad I like to try the local cuisine of the country I visit.

'for of' is incorrect; use 'of' to indicate belonging. Also add a comma after 'abroad' if desired.

Modal verb usage

× Properly, no.

Probably not.

'Properly' is incorrect here; 'probably' expresses the intended meaning of uncertainty. 'No' as a standalone short answer is acceptable but 'Probably not' fits the context better.

Present perfect issue

× My favorite food hasn't changed since I was a child because I'm an easy going person and umm and I will eat whatever my family cooks.

My favorite food hasn't changed since I was a child because I'm an easy-going person and I will eat whatever my family cooks.

Use hyphen 'easy-going' or keep as two words depending on style, remove extra 'and umm'. Present perfect 'hasn't changed since' is correct. No major tense errors; just clean up filler words.

Present tense issue

× For example, I still enjoy simple dishes like rice and chicken that my mother used to make.

For example, I still enjoy simple dishes like rice and chicken that my mother used to make.

Sentence is grammatically correct. No changes needed other than possibly removing redundancy; tense matches the description of habitual past action 'used to make' and present enjoyment 'still enjoy'.
