Food— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence, use one or two specific supporting details, and avoid fillers. Correct tense and phrasing: say when and why it became your favourite and describe one memory. Use a linking word when adding the reason.

Ejemplo: My favourite food is grilled chicken. I have loved it since childhood because my mother used to prepare it for every holiday, so the taste reminds me of happy family celebrations.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence and then list examples more naturally, avoiding vague phrases like “something like this.” Use linking words to expand and a richer adjective or two to make the answer specific.

Ejemplo: When I was younger I loved sweet treats, especially chocolate-based desserts. For example, I often ate chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream because I loved the rich, creamy flavour.

Sugerencia: Organise the answer: give a clear contrast between seasons and avoid hesitations. Use correct vocabulary (soups, not soaps) and give specific examples of typical summer and winter meals, linking them with words like “whereas” or “in contrast.” Keep it within three sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes. In summer I prefer light, fresh foods such as salads and a lot of fruit, whereas in winter I enjoy warm, hearty dishes like soups and stews to keep me warm.

Sugerencia: Provide a direct answer then briefly restate the reason with a little more detail to sound natural. Use one linking phrase to connect to your earlier point and correct grammar (singular/plural).

Ejemplo: No, it hasn't changed. As I mentioned, I have liked grilled chicken since childhood because it reminds me of family gatherings.

× My favorite food is grilled chicken since I was a child because my mom prepared it umm for every holiday and this food associated with. Good memories.

✓ My favorite food has been grilled chicken since I was a child because my mom prepared it for every holiday and this food is associated with good memories.

The sentence mixes simple present 'is' with the past time reference 'since I was a child'. Use present perfect 'has been' to show a state continuing from the past to the present. Also 'associated with' needs an object, so add 'is' before 'associated' and combine fragments into one sentence. Remove filler words and place 'for every holiday' correctly after 'prepared'. Suggestions: use present perfect for states continuing from the past ('has been'), include the linking verb before 'associated', and avoid sentence fragments.

× When I was younger, I liked sweet foods, especially something that was made from chocolate.

✓ When I was younger, I liked sweet foods, especially things made from chocolate.

The phrase 'something that was made from chocolate' is wordy and awkward. Use plural 'things' to match 'sweet foods' and the past tense 'made' is correct. Keep the construction concise: 'things made from chocolate.' Suggestions: keep number agreement and prefer concise noun phrases ('things made from chocolate').

× For instance, chocolate cakes, chocolate ice creams and something like this.

✓ For instance, chocolate cakes, chocolate ice cream, and similar desserts.

'Ice cream' is an uncountable noun in this context, so 'ice creams' is less natural. 'Something like this' is vague and ungrammatical in a list; replace it with 'similar desserts' to match plural items. Also add a serial comma for clarity. Suggestions: use uncountable forms when appropriate ('ice cream') and replace vague phrases with precise nouns.

× Yes, of course. Uh, for instance, in the summer I prefer umm, it more.

✓ Yes, of course. For instance, in the summer I prefer it more.

The original contains filler words and a misplaced pronoun 'it' separated awkwardly. The verb 'prefer' in present simple is correct for habitual preference. Remove fillers and join 'prefer it more' into one phrase. Suggestions: remove filler words and ensure pronouns are placed directly after the verb ('prefer it').

× Simple food such as vegetables and fruits, but in the winter I would prefer to eat something more complex, maybe for example some. Soaps or salads?

✓ Simple foods such as vegetables and fruits, but in the winter I prefer to eat something more complex, for example soups or salads.

The sentence has fragmentation and word choice errors. 'Simple food' should be plural 'simple foods' to match examples. 'Would prefer' can be simplified to present 'prefer' for habitual contrast. 'Some. Soaps' is a mistaken split and 'soaps' is incorrect spelling of 'soups'. Remove the question mark and fillers and present a single coherent sentence. Suggestions: match plurality, correct spelling ('soups'), avoid unnecessary modal when stating habitual preference, and keep clauses connected.

× No, it hasn't. As I said, I like grilled chickens and since I was a child.

✓ No, it hasn't. As I said, I have liked grilled chicken since I was a child.

The reply 'No, it hasn't' refers to 'Has your favourite food changed?', so the full answer should use present perfect 'have liked' with 'since' to indicate continuity. Use singular 'grilled chicken' as an uncountable/general food item rather than 'grilled chickens'. Reorder to make a complete sentence: 'I have liked grilled chicken since I was a child.' Suggestions: use present perfect for states continuing from a past point ('have liked'), and use the uncountable/general form for foods ('grilled chicken').
