Food— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, and add one specific reason or detail to support your preference. Use correct tense and natural phrases (e.g., “I’ve liked it since childhood”). Keep answers to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: I love fish, especially grilled salmon, because my mother cooks it often and she knows how to season it perfectly. I’ve enjoyed it since childhood, so it feels comforting and familiar.

Sugerencia: Improve grammar and clarity. Begin with a direct statement in the past about your childhood tastes, then give 1–2 specific examples with reasons. Avoid filler phrases and repetition. Use correct past tense and smoother linking words (e.g., “because,” “so”).

Ejemplo: When I was young I enjoyed many kinds of food, especially fish and beef, because my mother was a great cook. As a result, I tended to like most dishes she prepared.

Sugerencia: Be more specific and grammatical. State a clear topic sentence about seasonal food changes, then give one or two concrete examples and explain why (tradition, availability). Use plural/singular correctly and natural phrases like “for the Spring Festival” and “prepare special dishes.”

Ejemplo: Yes. For the Spring Festival we prepare special dishes like whole chicken, braised pork and steamed fish because these foods symbolize prosperity and are shared with family.

Sugerencia: Fix grammar and answer directly. Start with a clear statement whether it has changed, then give a concise reason with a specific detail. Use correct verbs (e.g., “liked” not “lied”) and linkers like “because” or “so.”

Ejemplo: No, my favourite food hasn't changed; I liked fish as a child and still do because my hometown is near the sea and fresh fish were always available.

× I like eat fish, beef.

✓ I like to eat fish and beef.

The verb 'like' requires either the infinitive 'to eat' or the gerund 'eating'. Also items in a list should be linked with 'and'. Use 'to eat' to match simple present habitual preference: 'I like to eat fish and beef.'

× I think I like everything because my I think my mother cooks.

✓ I think I like everything because my mother cooks it.

The original has a repeated fragment 'I think' and a missing object for 'cooks'. Remove the duplicate phrase and add 'it' (or 'them') as the object: 'my mother cooks it' to make the sentence complete and coherent.

× Every food is very delicious.

✓ All food is very delicious.

'Every' is used with countable singular nouns; 'food' is an uncountable noun, so use 'all food is' or 'everything is very delicious.' Also 'very delicious' is acceptable but 'very' can be omitted for conciseness.

× Yes, when Spring Festival is coming we will decorate many food such as chicken, beef, fish and many people try their best to cook.

✓ Yes, when the Spring Festival comes we prepare many foods such as chicken, beef, and fish, and many people try their best to cook.

Use simple present 'comes' for scheduled events. 'Decorate food' is unnatural; use 'prepare' or 'make' and plural 'foods' or 'dishes'. Also add 'the' before 'Spring Festival'. Separate clauses with appropriate conjunctions and commas.

× I lied fish when I was a child because my hometown is near the sea and there are many fish in the sea.

✓ I liked fish when I was a child because my hometown is near the sea and there were many fish there.

The speaker intended the past tense of 'like', which is 'liked', not 'lied' (which means to tell an untruth). Also maintain past tense consistency: 'were' for 'there were many fish' and use 'there' instead of repeating 'in the sea'.

× My mother usually cooks it for me.

✓ My mother usually cooks it for me.

This sentence is correct. The verb 'cooks' correctly uses the third person singular '-s' to agree with 'my mother'. No change needed.

× I think it is very yummy.

✓ I think it is very yummy.

This sentence is grammatically correct in present tense expressing an opinion. No change needed.

× When I was a child, I liked it.

✓ When I was a child, I liked it.

This past-tense sentence is correct and consistent with 'was'. No change needed.
