Food— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Speak more clearly and organize your answer: start with a clear topic sentence naming the dish, then give 1–2 specific supporting details (when you eat it, why you like it) using linking words. Avoid filler sounds (uh, um) and long hesitations. Use accurate vocabulary (e.g., “rice with fish” or the dish name) and correct simple grammar (I like it, especially at the weekend; sometimes I eat out).

例: My favourite food is rice with fish. I especially enjoy it at the weekend because the fish is freshly grilled and the rice is fragrant. For example, my family cooks it at home and we eat it together, which makes it more enjoyable. Sometimes I also eat it in restaurants when I go out.

提案: Use past tense consistently and give a clear topic sentence plus a reason or memory. Link ideas with words such as “because” or “when.” Correct grammar: say “I preferred” or “I used to like” and finish sentences (e.g., “my mom cooked it”). Provide one specific example of the soup or a memory to enrich the answer.

例: When I was young, I used to like soup very much. My mother cooked a special chicken and vegetable soup because it was warm and comforting. I remember having it almost every evening, especially when I was sick, which made me feel better.

提案: Give a direct answer and then add a specific supporting detail about seasonal foods, using linking words (for example, “for example,” “in winter,” “in summer”). Avoid vague replies. Mention one or two concrete examples of seasonal foods and explain why you eat them then.

例: Yes, I do eat different foods at different times of the year. For example, in winter I often eat hot soups and stews to stay warm, while in summer I prefer fresh salads and fruits because they are refreshing.

提案: Answer directly with a clear statement about whether your favourite has changed, then explain briefly. Use correct grammar (e.g., “Yes, it has changed” or “No, it hasn’t changed”) and avoid fillers. If it changed, say what it was before, what it is now, and one reason for the change, using linking words like “because” or “now.”

例: Yes, my favourite food has changed since I was a child. As a child I liked Chinese food a lot, but now I prefer rice with grilled fish because I enjoy the simpler flavours and my family prepares it often.

× My favorite food there is rice with the finish with, with fish.

✓ My favorite food is rice with fish.

The sentence has unnecessary words ('there is', 'the finish with') and awkward word order. Use the simple present 'is' to state a preference. Remove redundant phrases to make the sentence clear: 'My favorite food is rice with fish.' Suggestion: State preferences with 'My favorite food is ...' and place the noun phrase directly after 'is'.

× It is very, uh, delicious.

✓ It is very delicious.

This sentence is acceptable but contains hesitations ('uh'). Remove filler sounds when writing. The present tense 'is' correctly describes a general quality. Suggestion: Omit fillers in written responses.

× I, I like it, especially in the weekend.

✓ I like it, especially on weekends.

'In the weekend' is not the correct preposition or form. Use 'on weekends' or 'at the weekend' (British English). Also remove repeated 'I'. Suggestion: Use 'on weekends' for habitual actions: 'I like it, especially on weekends.'

× Uh, sometimes, uh, I prefer eating at home.

✓ Sometimes I prefer to eat at home.

Hesitations should be removed. Both 'prefer eating' and 'prefer to eat' are grammatical; 'prefer to eat' is more natural here. Keep simple present for habitual preference. Suggestion: Use 'Sometimes I prefer to eat at home.'

× Uh, but uh, uh, uh, but sometime I go out there are.

✓ But sometimes I go out.

This sentence has multiple hesitations and an incorrect and redundant ending 'there are.' Use 'sometimes' (plural) and simple structure: 'But sometimes I go out.' Suggestion: Remove fillers and the extraneous phrase 'there are'.

× I prefer eating soup when I was young.

✓ I preferred eating soup when I was young.

The sentence mixes present tense 'prefer' with past time marker 'when I was young.' Use past tense 'preferred' to match the time frame. Suggestion: Keep verb tense consistent with the time expression: 'I preferred eating soup when I was young.'

× My mom. It's a cook, very delicious.

✓ My mom cooked it; it was very delicious.

Original fragments and incorrect noun usage: 'My mom.' is a fragment. 'It's a cook' is incorrect—'cook' is a noun meaning a person who cooks. To say she prepared the soup, use past tense: 'My mom cooked it.' Also match tense: 'was very delicious.' Suggestion: Combine into a complete sentence: 'My mom cooked it; it was very delicious.'

× Yes, I like it. Different foods at different times of the year.

✓ Yes, I do. I eat different foods at different times of the year.

The reply 'Yes, I like it.' does not directly answer the question about seasonal variation. The fragment 'Different foods at different times of the year.' lacks a verb. Use 'I eat different foods...' and auxiliary 'do' for short answers: 'Yes, I do.' Suggestion: Use a full sentence with a verb: 'Yes, I do. I eat different foods at different times of the year.'

× Uh, when I was a child, uh, my favorite food, uh, change, uh, is uh, China food.

✓ When I was a child, my favorite food was Chinese food.

The sentence mixes tenses and uses wrong verb form 'change' and adjective/noun form 'China food.' For past time 'when I was a child' use past tense 'was.' Use the adjective 'Chinese' not 'China.' Suggestion: Keep tense consistent and use correct adjective: 'When I was a child, my favorite food was Chinese food.'
