Food— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Make your answer more grammatical, concise and coherent: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, use correct verb forms and linking words, and give one or two specific details (taste, ingredients, when you eat it). Keep to under five sentences.

Ejemplo: My favourite food is mandi, a traditional Arabic dish of spiced rice and roasted chicken. I usually eat it with a simple salad and a little mayonnaise; the chicken has a rich, smoky aroma from the spices. I enjoy it because the flavours are well balanced and it reminds me of family gatherings.

Sugerencia: Provide a clearer topic sentence, avoid filler words, and give a specific reason and example for the change. Use linking words (however, but) to show contrast and keep sentences concise.

Ejemplo: When I was young, I loved eating sweets such as jalebi and ladoo. However, I have changed my diet because I am now concerned about health risks like obesity and dental problems, so I try to avoid sugary snacks.

Sugerencia: Make your response more organized and grammatical: start with a direct yes/no sentence, then briefly explain with a specific seasonal example. Avoid filler sounds and correct month order and vocabulary (e.g., 'mangoes' not 'giant fruit').

Ejemplo: Yes, I do. In India we eat seasonal foods, so in April to June I usually enjoy fresh mangoes because they are ripe and widely available. Seasonal fruits and vegetables taste better and are more affordable.

Sugerencia: Avoid repeating the same idea twice. Give a clear contrast with a linking word and a specific example of healthy changes you made. Use more natural phrasing (e.g., 'I now prefer').

Ejemplo: Yes, it has changed a great deal. Whereas I used to eat many sweets and fried foods, I now prefer salads, grilled vegetables and lean proteins because I want to stay healthy and have more energy.

× 'My favorite food called mandi, it's an Arabic food.'

✓ 'My favorite food is called mandi; it's an Arabic dish.'

'called mandi' lacks a linking verb; add 'is'. Use 'dish' instead of 'food' after nationality to sound natural. Also add appropriate punctuation.'

× 'It's always serving with the rice, with the chicken.'

✓ 'It's always served with rice and chicken.'

'serving' is incorrect form; passive 'served' matches subject 'It'. Omit definite article before uncountable 'rice' and use 'and' to connect items.'

× 'I like to eat that with mayonnaise and salads.'

✓ 'I like to eat it with mayonnaise and salad.'

'that' refers to food so 'it' is more natural. Use singular 'salad' or 'salads' consistently; 'salad' as a general food is more natural here.'

× 'It's very delicious. It have a special aroma.'

✓ 'It's very delicious. It has a special aroma.'

'It' requires third-person singular verb 'has', not 'have'.'

× 'It's also using our common ingredients, so it's tasty and impressive.'

✓ 'It also uses common ingredients, so it's tasty and impressive.'

'using' is incorrect here; use active 'uses'. Omit 'our' unless specifying belonging; 'common ingredients' is clearer.'

× 'When I was in, I used to eat lots of sweets like jalebi and ladoo, but nowadays it's drastically changed because of health concerns.'

✓ 'When I was young, I used to eat lots of sweets like jalebi and ladoo, but nowadays it has changed drastically because of health concerns.'

'When I was in' is incomplete; use 'When I was young'. Change 'it's drastically changed' to 'it has changed drastically' to show a change from past to present.'

× 'Before when I was a little girl I didn't notice any uh, health, illness or diseases about it, but now I'm very concerned.'

✓ 'When I was a little girl I didn't notice any health problems related to it, but now I'm very concerned.'

'didn't notice any uh, health, illness or diseases about it' is ungrammatical and wordy. Use 'health problems related to it' for clarity and correct noun phrases.'

× 'Yes, I love to eat different kind of foods especially as per the availability in India we have different season and uh, we'll get different kind of foods as per the seasons.'

✓ 'Yes, I love to eat different kinds of food; depending on availability in India, we have different seasons and we get different foods in each season.'

'different kind of foods' should be 'different kinds of food'. 'as per' is awkward; use 'depending on' or 'according to'. 'we have different season' needs plural 'seasons'.'

× 'In May, June, April, these months we are available of like natural foods like giant fruit, umm, mango.'

✓ 'In April, May and June, we have seasonal natural foods, for example mangoes.'

'In May, June, April' should be ordered naturally and followed by a comma. 'we are available of' is incorrect; use 'we have' or 'are able to get'. 'giant fruit' is wrong; 'mangoes' is more precise and plural.'

× 'When I was young I used to eat lots of sweet and oily items, but now I am concerned about my health and I am focusing on healthy diets like salads, vegetables, things like that.'

✓ 'When I was young I used to eat lots of sweet and oily items, but now I am concerned about my health and I focus on a healthy diet like salads and vegetables.'

'used to eat lots of sweet' should be 'lots of sweet and oily items' OK but 'I am focusing on healthy diets' is awkward; use 'I focus on a healthy diet' or 'I concentrate on healthy foods'. Make noun forms consistent and concise.'
