Food— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and use correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two supporting details. Avoid filler words (uh) and pluralization errors (say 'curry' not 'curries'). Use linking words if listing examples.

例: I enjoy rice with curry. For example, I often eat mutton or chicken curry because I like rich, spicy sauces that go well with steamed rice.

提案: Use past tense consistently and be specific. Start with a topic sentence in past tense, add a reason or brief example, and avoid repeating the same idea. Use a linking phrase to add detail.

例: When I was young, I loved eating fruits, especially bananas and apples. For instance, I used to have a banana as a snack every afternoon because it was convenient and tasty.

提案: Give a direct, fluent answer without hesitation and provide a short explanation. Use linking words like 'because' or 'but' to add clarity. Remove fillers and correct phrasing (e.g. 'throughout the year').

例: No, I don't eat very different foods at different times of the year because I usually stick to regular home-cooked meals throughout the year.

提案: Use clear tense and structure: state whether it has changed, then explain briefly. Avoid long, unclear clauses and correct tense ('last month'). Keep it within 2–3 sentences and provide a specific reason.

例: My favourite food has changed. As a child I loved ice cream, but recently I avoid it because I was sick last month and it upset my stomach.

× My favorite food is rice and Curry, uh, as curries.

✓ My favorite foods are rice and curry.

The sentence lists multiple foods, so the noun should be plural 'foods' or use singular nouns in a list and make verbs/agreements consistent. 'Curry' is a noncount or count noun used here in lower case; 'as curries' is ungrammatical. Use 'are' for a compound subject. Suggestion: say 'My favorite foods are rice and curry.' or 'My favourite food is rice and curry.'

× Uh, mutton, pork, chicken is my favorite curries.

✓ Mutton, pork, and chicken are my favorite curries.

The subject lists three countable items joined by commas and 'and', which is plural, so the verb must be 'are' not 'is'. Also 'curries' is acceptable but better to use singular 'curry' or 'curries' consistently; here 'favorite curries' matches plural items. Suggestion: include 'and' before the last item and use 'are'.

× When I was young, I like to eat bananas and apples.

✓ When I was young, I liked to eat bananas and apples.

The time clause 'When I was young' places the action in the past, so the verb should be in the past tense 'liked' rather than present 'like'. Suggestion: use past tense for actions completed in childhood.

× I like to eat many fruits in my childhood.

✓ I ate many fruits in my childhood.

Again, 'in my childhood' indicates past time, so use past tense 'ate' instead of present 'like'. Also use 'many fruits' or more natural 'a lot of fruit' depending on preference. Suggestion: 'I ate a lot of fruit when I was a child.'

× Uh, no. Normally I used uh, regular foods, uh, through the year.

✓ No. Normally I eat regular foods throughout the year.

The original mixes past 'used' with present context and has awkward preposition 'through the year'. The question asks about habitual behavior, so present simple 'I eat' is appropriate. 'Throughout the year' is the correct prepositional phrase. Suggestion: use present simple for habits and 'throughout the year.'

× No, uh, special foods, uh, for the months.

✓ No, I don't have special foods for certain months.

The original is a fragment lacking a clear verb and subject. To answer the question clearly, include subject and verb: 'I don't have special foods for certain months' or 'No, there are no special foods for different months.' Suggestion: form a full sentence with subject and verb.

× Since my childhood my favorite food is ice cream and these days I'm not in good condition because I was sick in last month.

✓ Since my childhood, my favorite food has been ice cream, but these days I'm not in good condition because I was sick last month.

The clause 'Since my childhood' requires the present perfect 'has been' to show a state continuing from past to present. 'Was sick in last month' is ungrammatical; use 'last month' without 'in'. Also add conjunction 'but' to connect contrasting ideas. Suggestion: use present perfect for states continuing to now and correct time expression to 'last month.'

× So in these days I don't eat ice cream.

✓ So these days I don't eat ice cream.

The phrase 'in these days' is unnatural; use 'these days' for current habitual situations and present simple 'don't eat' is appropriate. Suggestion: say 'these days' to indicate current habit.
