Food— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and add a brief reason or context. Avoid repeating the same idea (chicken wings) and reduce filler. Use one clear topic sentence followed by one or two specific supporting details and a linking word.

Example: I really like chicken, especially grilled chicken wings. For example, I often go to a nearby restaurant on weekends because their wings are crispy and well-seasoned, which makes them my go-to treat.

Suggestion: Start with a clear past-focused sentence and contrast past and present with a linking word. Give a specific memory or reason from childhood to make the answer richer and avoid vague phrases like 'I don't know the reason'.

Example: When I was young I also loved chicken, particularly my mother's roast chicken because she used a special marinade. Although my tastes have broadened since then, I still enjoy chicken because it reminds me of family meals.

Suggestion: Organize your answer with a topic sentence about seasonal variation, then give one or two specific examples and use linking words. Avoid filler sounds and list-like responses without cohesion.

Example: Yes, I do eat different foods seasonally. For example, in summer I prefer fresh fruits and salads because they are refreshing, whereas in winter I choose heartier dishes like stews and roasted vegetables to stay warm.

Suggestion: Answer directly and clearly with one topic sentence, then add a concise explanation. Avoid unclear additions (e.g., 'there's a lot of liver for chicken') and fillers. If mentioning a detail like 'liver', explain its relevance or omit it.

Example: No, my favourite food hasn't changed; I still prefer chicken. For instance, I grew up eating chicken dishes and now I still choose them because they are versatile and easy to cook.

× My favorite food is chicken. I love eating chicken wings and sometimes I prefer to go outside just to eat chicken wings.

✓ My favorite food is chicken. I love eating chicken wings, and sometimes I prefer to go out just to eat chicken wings.

Use the phrasal verb 'go out' instead of 'go outside' for eating at restaurants or cafés; add a comma before 'and' to join independent clauses. 'Go outside' implies stepping outdoors, while 'go out' correctly conveys leaving home to eat.

× Chicken is my favorite food when I was young until now.

✓ Chicken has been my favorite food since I was young and still is now.

The original mixes present 'is' with past 'was' incorrectly. Use present perfect 'has been' with 'since' to show a state from the past continuing to the present. 'Until now' is awkward here; 'and still is now' or 'and still is' is clearer.

× I don't know the reason but until now I prefer to eat chicken than other foods.

✓ I don't know the reason, but I have preferred chicken to other foods until now.

Comparisons with 'prefer' should use 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A than B'. Also, to show a preference continuing to the present, use present perfect 'have preferred' or keep present simple 'prefer' with correct structure. Added a comma before 'but' to separate clauses.

× But that's not me that I don't eat anything else.

✓ But that doesn't mean I don't eat anything else.

The original misuses 'that's not me that' which is ungrammatical. Use 'that doesn't mean' to express the intended clarification. Also 'anything else' is fine after the negation.

× Of course I do. I eat many different foods just like umm, fast food, umm, veggies, fruits, umm, pastries.

✓ Of course I do. I eat many different foods, like fast food, vegetables, fruits, and pastries.

'Just like' is informal; 'like' is sufficient. Replace 'veggies' with 'vegetables' for standard English and add commas and 'and' before the final item in the list for correct parallel structure.

× It depends on my mood actually.

✓ It actually depends on my mood.

Word order is improved by placing 'actually' before the verb phrase. The present simple 'depends' is correct; this is a stylistic correction for natural word order.

× As I have mentioned earlier, my favorite food is chicken, and until now it is still my favorite.

✓ As I mentioned earlier, my favorite food is chicken, and it is still my favorite.

Either 'I have mentioned' or simple past 'I mentioned' can work; here 'As I mentioned earlier' is more natural in spoken English. 'Until now' is unnecessary with 'is still my favorite' so it's removed for clarity.

× And today, umm, there's a lot of liver for chicken.

✓ And today, umm, there is a lot of chicken liver.

The phrase 'liver for chicken' is unnatural. Use 'chicken liver' to indicate the type of liver. Also expanded 'there's' to 'there is' for clarity, though 'there's' is acceptable in speech.
