Food— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and add a brief reason or a specific example to strengthen your answer. Limit to 3–4 sentences, use linking words and avoid redundancy (e.g., don’t repeat ‘favorite’ and ‘comfort’ separately). Pronounce specific dishes clearly and give one short reason why you like them.

Ejemplo: I love Chinese food, especially Hakka noodles and fried rice, because the flavors are comforting and easy to share. For example, after a long day at work I often order Hakka noodles because the spices and texture lift my mood. However, I try not to eat it every day for health reasons.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific example and a linking phrase to show change. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and avoid repeating synonyms (junk/unhealthy repeatedly).

Ejemplo: As a child I mostly ate junk food, such as chips, burgers and sugary snacks, despite my parents’ efforts to give me salads. Now, however, I’m trying to eat more home-cooked meals and vegetables to improve my health.

Sugerencia: Make the answer more structured: give a direct topic sentence, then a linked example about seasonal variation. Use a linking word (e.g., 'however' or 'for example') and be specific about what you eat in different seasons.

Ejemplo: Generally I eat similar foods year-round, but I change dishes depending on the season. For example, in summer I prefer cold, refreshing meals like salads and cold noodles, whereas in winter I opt for warm soups and stews.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and finish your sentence clearly. Use one linking phrase to show contrast (e.g., 'however' or 'now'). Provide a concise specific example of current favorite foods and avoid unfinished sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, it has changed. As a child I mostly ate fast food and sweets, but now I prefer healthier options like grilled fish, steamed vegetables and whole grains because I focus on balanced nutrition.

× Whenever I am not feeling like eating anything else, I just go and order some Hakka noodles or fried rice.

✓ Whenever I am not feeling like eating anything else, I just go and order Hakka noodles or fried rice.

No correction needed for prepositions; sentence is acceptable. (If judged, 'go and order' is colloquial but grammatically acceptable.)

× I know it is bad for health to be eating on a regular basis, but I just can't help but order it a lot.

✓ I know it is bad for my health to eat it on a regular basis, but I just can't help ordering it a lot.

'Bad for health' needs the possessive 'my' to specify whose health is meant (article/possessive issue). 'To be eating' is an unnecessary progressive infinitive; use 'to eat' or change structure to 'can't help ordering' (gerund after 'can't help'). Use consistent object 'it' to refer to the food.

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

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

Sentence is correct; past tense 'did you like' matches 'when you were young.' No change required.

× I have always preferred eating junk food.

✓ I have always preferred eating junk food.

Sentence is grammatically correct; present perfect 'have always preferred' is acceptable for a past-to-present preference. No pronoun error.

× No matter how much my parents tried to get me to eat healthy foods, salads and vegetables, I always ended up having a craving for junk and unhealthy food.

✓ No matter how much my parents tried to get me to eat healthy foods, salads, and vegetables, I always ended up craving junk and unhealthy food.

Minor wording: 'ended up having a craving for' is wordy; 'ended up craving' is more natural. Comma added in list. Article usage is acceptable; change is stylistic rather than grammatical.

× But as an adult, I'm trying to change that habit and switch.

✓ But as an adult, I'm trying to change that habit and switch to healthier eating.

The verb 'switch' requires a preposition or object; 'switch' alone is incomplete. Add 'to' + noun phrase to complete meaning and match present continuous 'I'm trying'.

× Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

✓ Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?

Question is correct; present simple appropriate for habitual actions.

× I would say I eat almost the same kind of food around the year and depending on my mood and my preference I tend to order different cuisines.

✓ I would say I eat almost the same kind of food throughout the year, and depending on my mood and preferences I tend to order different cuisines.

Use 'throughout the year' rather than 'around the year'. 'Preference' should be plural or omit 'my' for natural phrasing; add comma before conjunction.

× But it also depends upon the season.

✓ But it also depends on the season.

'Depends on' is the standard collocation; 'depends upon' is formal but acceptable. 'Depends on the season' is more natural in speech.

× Like in the summer I like having cold and refreshing food.

✓ In the summer I like having cold, refreshing food.

'Like in the summer' is conversational; better start with 'In the summer'. Comma added between adjectives. 'Having' is acceptable; no tense issue.

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

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

Question is correct; present perfect 'has...changed' with 'since' is appropriate.

× Yes, at different ages in my life I have had an inclination for different types of food.

✓ Yes, at different ages in my life I have had an inclination toward different types of food.

'Inclination toward' or 'for' are both acceptable; 'toward' is slightly more natural. Sentence structure otherwise correct.

× As a child I preferred having a lot of junk food, but as an adult I have switched to conscious eating and more and including more vegetables in my.

✓ As a child I preferred eating a lot of junk food, but as an adult I have switched to conscious eating and included more vegetables in my diet.

Problems: 'preferred having' is acceptable but 'preferred eating' is more natural. Phrase 'switched to conscious eating and more and including more vegetables in my' is ungrammatical and incomplete. Replace with 'switched to conscious eating and included more vegetables in my diet' or 'and now include more vegetables in my diet.' Ensure 'diet' completes the noun phrase.
