× I think my favorite dish is sushi. I'm fond of Asian food because it has distinct, uh, distinct and delicate flavors that balance with salty and umami.
✓ I think my favorite dish is sushi. I'm fond of Asian food because it has distinct and delicate flavors that balance salty and umami tastes.
Le locuteur a utilisé 'balance with salty and umami' et a répété 'distinct'. En anglais, on dit 'balance salty and umami tastes' ou 'balance saltiness and umami', et il faut éviter la répétition. Suggestion: supprimer la répétition et reformuler 'balance with' en 'balance salty and umami tastes' ou 'balance saltiness and umami'.
× Uh, for example, when I go out with my friends, I usually, uh, commend, uh, sushi and.
✓ For example, when I go out with my friends, I usually choose to order sushi.
La phrase originale est incomplète et contient le mot 'commend' utilisé incorrectement (probablement voulait dire 'order' ou 'recommend'). En anglais, 'commend' signifie louer et ne convient pas ici. De plus la phrase se termine par 'and' sans objet. Suggestion: remplacer 'commend' par 'order' ou 'choose to order' et terminer la phrase correctement.
× I think that, uh, I like it. Homemade soup when I was young it was warm and tasty.
✓ I think that, when I was young, I liked homemade soup; it was warm and tasty.
Mélange incorrect des temps et ponctuation maladroite: 'I like it' ne concorde pas avec 'when I was young'. Il faut utiliser le past simple 'liked' pour une habitude passée. Suggestion: restructurer la phrase et utiliser 'liked' pour indiquer une préférence passée.
× My mother made it a lot so it felt comforting.
✓ My mother made it a lot, so it felt comforting.
La phrase est presque correcte mais manque d'une virgule pour séparer les propositions et clarifier l'idée. Suggestion: ajouter la virgule après la proposition principale pour une meilleure lisibilité.
× For example, we had it almost every Sunday after school and I always looked forward to it.
✓ For example, we had it almost every Sunday after school, and I always looked forward to it.
La phrase est grammaticalement correcte mais une virgule avant 'and' améliore la clarté lors de la coordination de deux propositions indépendantes. Suggestion: ajouter la virgule.
× Well, I do eat different food in different seasons.
✓ Well, I do eat different foods in different seasons.
'Different food' devrait être au pluriel 'different foods' pour indiquer plusieurs types d'aliments. Suggestion: utiliser le pluriel avec 'foods' ou reformuler 'different kinds of food'.
× Umm, in summer I, I prefer eating salads and fresh fruit to make me, uh, refresh and uh, it's available And uh, in winter I prefer hot soups.
✓ In summer, I prefer eating salads and fresh fruit to refresh myself because they're available. In winter, I prefer hot soups.
Plusieurs problèmes: 'to make me refresh' est incorrect; on dit 'to refresh myself' ou 'to feel refreshed'. 'It's available' est vague et mal accordé (singulier) avec 'salads and fresh fruit' (pluriel); il faut 'they're available'. La phrase est longue et hachée; il vaut mieux la scinder en deux phrases. Suggestion: utiliser 'refresh myself' et accorder le verbe avec le sujet pluriel, et séparer les idées en deux phrases.
× I haven't changed my favorite food since I was a child.
✓ My favorite food hasn't changed since I was a child.
Formulation plus naturelle: on utilise généralement 'My favorite food hasn't changed' plutôt que 'I haven't changed my favorite food'. La version originale n'est pas gravement incorrecte grammaticalement mais est moins idiomatique. Suggestion: utiliser la construction passive/format 'X hasn't changed since...' pour exprimer le fait.
× I'm not picky eater and I still enjoy many types of food, especially UH, especially Asian food which I've loved since I was young.
✓ I'm not a picky eater, and I still enjoy many types of food, especially Asian food, which I've loved since I was young.
Il manque l'article indéfini 'a' avant 'picky eater'. De plus la répétition 'especially UH, especially' doit être évitée et une virgule est nécessaire pour encadrer la proposition relative. Suggestion: ajouter 'a' et supprimer la répétition, ajouter la ponctuation appropriée.
