Food— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar and clarity: use correct tense and articles, correct word choices (e.g., 'salty' not 'salary'), and avoid redundancy. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific supporting details (ingredients, flavours, when you eat it). Limit to 3–4 concise sentences and use linking words like 'because' or 'and'.

例: My favourite food is a Filipino soup called sinigang. It is a sour pork stew with vegetables and sometimes chili, so it can be slightly spicy. I like it because the tangy broth is comforting and it goes well with rice.

提案: Use past tense for childhood and be concise. Start with a clear topic sentence about past preference, then add a specific reason or memory. Use linking words like 'because' or 'and' to connect ideas and avoid repetition of 'always'.

例: When I was young, I especially loved sinigang. I often asked my parents to make it because the sour broth reminded me of family meals, and I always ate it with steamed rice.

提案: Clarify meaning and correct vocabulary errors, speak in full clear sentences, and organize answer by seasons/occasions. Use linking words ('for example', 'during', 'in') and be specific about foods for each occasion. Avoid unclear words ('electron', 'Vineyard San')—replace with correct dish names.

例: Yes. For example, at Christmas we usually have special dishes like roast meat and a variety of salads. On birthdays we always serve spaghetti and cake, and at other celebrations we often have sinigang, donuts, and ice cream for dessert.

提案: Use present perfect or simple present to describe ongoing habits correctly, and separate ideas into clear sentences. Directly answer the question first (No, it hasn't changed), then give concise supporting details about current preferences and typical combinations. Avoid filler words like 'umm' and be specific.

例: No, my favourite foods haven't changed since childhood. I still enjoy sinigang and I also like sweets such as cake and ice cream. I usually have soup with rice, and sometimes I drink coffee or milk with it.

× I'm always been fond of soup, so I have this favorite soup.

✓ I have always been fond of soup, so I have a favorite soup.

The original mixes present perfect continuous form incorrectly ('I'm always been'). Use 'have always been' or simpler 'have always been fond' or 'I have always been fond of soup'. Here 'I have always been fond' is present perfect; 'I have always been fond' or 'I have always been fond' is repetitive, so 'I have always been fond of soup' is correct. Also 'this favorite soup' is odd; use 'a favorite soup' to indicate one of your favorites. Suggestion: Use 'I have always been fond of soup' or 'I have always loved soup'. Please note tense: present perfect expresses a state continuing to the present.

× We call it sinigang.

✓ We call it sinigang.

The sentence is grammatically acceptable but 'sinigang' is a proper noun for a dish and can be lowercase; no change required. If you want to emphasize, you can capitalize 'Sinigang'. This item does not match other error types in the provided list, so it is left as is.

× It is a pork Stew with sour savory soup, so it could be spicy or salary.

✓ It is a pork stew with a sour, savory broth, so it can be spicy or salty.

Errors: 'Stew' should be lowercase 'stew'; 'sour savory soup' needs a coordinating comma and 'broth' is a better collocation. 'Could be' is acceptable but 'can be' is more natural for describing typical characteristics. 'salary' is a misspelling of 'salty'. Correct collocation and word choice improve clarity.

× What kind of food did you like when you were young?

✓ What kind of food did you like when you were young?

This question from the examiner is fine and requires no correction.

× I'm always looking for a soup so my sinigang has always been my go to food when I was a little girl, even until today.

✓ I have always liked soup, so sinigang has always been my go-to food since I was a little girl and still is today.

Errors: 'I'm always looking for a soup' is awkward for a habitual preference; use 'I have always liked soup' or 'I've always loved soup'. 'Has always been my go to food when I was a little girl' mixes present perfect with a past time clause incorrectly; use 'since I was a little girl' to connect past to present. Add hyphen in 'go-to' and use 'still is today' for clarity.

× Especially if it is paired with rice.

✓ I especially enjoy it when it is paired with rice.

The original is a sentence fragment beginning with 'Especially'. Combine it with a main clause for completeness. 'I especially enjoy it when it is paired with rice' is a full sentence and fits the context.

× There may be a lot of foods in every occasions and Christmas.

✓ There may be a lot of food on every occasion and at Christmas.

'Foods' is unnecessary plural; 'food' as an uncountable noun is correct. Use 'on every occasion' or 'at every occasion' and 'at Christmas' for correct prepositions. 'There may be' is acceptable but 'There are often a lot of foods' could be used; corrected to match common usage.

× It's always been the electron and some salad.

✓ It's always been the lechon and some salad.

Likely intended word is 'lechon' (roast pig), not 'electron'. 'It's always been' is acceptable for a continuing tradition; keep present perfect. Ensure correct vocabulary.

× On birthdays, spaghetti will not be missed and a cake.

✓ On birthdays, spaghetti is never missed, and there is always a cake.

'Will not be missed' is awkward; 'is never missed' is natural for habitual events. Add 'there is' to complete the idea about a cake. Keep present simple to describe traditions.

× On some celebrations.

✓ At some celebrations,

This fragment needs completion. Change to 'At some celebrations,' and attach the rest of the list in the same sentence: 'At some celebrations, there are always ...'.

× There's always been a Vineyard San, a Sinigang, a donut for dessert and ice cream.

✓ There's always been a viand, sinigang, a donut for dessert, and ice cream.

'Vineyard San' is unclear; likely intended 'viand' (a Filipino term for a dish served with rice) or another dish name. Maintain parallel list structure and articles: 'a viand, sinigang, a donut, and ice cream'. Use commas consistently. 'There's always been' is acceptable for tradition.

× I always crave the same food since I was a child, even until today I've always been into a sweet cake and ice cream.

✓ I have always craved the same foods since I was a child; even today I still enjoy sweet cakes and ice cream.

Use present perfect 'have always craved' with 'since' to show continuation from past to present. 'The same food' should be plural 'foods' or 'the same food' could be fine; here 'same foods' or 'the same kinds of food' fits. Break into two clauses with proper punctuation. 'I've always been into a sweet cake' is awkward; use 'I still enjoy sweet cakes'.

× Umm soup with rice paired with it and always a coffee and a milk.

✓ Um, soup with rice paired with it, and always coffee and milk.

Remove unnecessary articles: 'a coffee and a milk' is unnatural; use uncountable 'coffee and milk' or 'a coffee and a glass of milk' if countable. Add commas and 'Um' spelled as 'Um' for hesitation. Make list parallel and concise.
