Food— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct small grammar mistakes (e.g., use plural/singular correctly), reduce fillers (uh), and add one specific example of a dish to make your answer more vivid. Use linking words like "for instance" or "also" to connect ideas.

例: I enjoy Chinese food because it offers many regional cuisines. For instance, in southern China people often prefer spicier dishes like Sichuan hotpot, while northern cuisine tends to be less salty and features noodle and dumpling dishes.

提案: Correct tense and factual word choice, remove hesitations, and clarify confusing references (you said "Greek" but likely meant a regional Chinese cuisine). Provide a short reason and a specific example of a dish or routine to support your answer.

例: When I was a child I liked spicy food because many local dishes in my hometown were spicy. For example, I often ate spicy street noodles after school, which became my favorite treat.

提案: Avoid fillers and improve word choice (e.g., "warmth" not "warmness"). Explain reasons more clearly and choose culturally consistent examples (sushi is Japanese; you can still mention it but make clear it's a seasonal preference). Use linking words such as "in contrast" or "because" to connect causes and effects.

例: Yes. In winter I usually eat hot pot because the warmth and spicy broth make me feel energetic and helps me stay warm. In contrast, in summer I prefer cold dishes like chilled noodles or sushi since they feel refreshing and help me stay cool.

提案: Fix grammar (singular/plural, verb forms), remove hesitations, and clarify the contradiction between "don't have a favorite" and "preference stays the same." State clearly whether your favorite has changed and give a brief reason with an example.

例: My favourite food hasn't changed much. I still prefer spicy dishes because they make me feel comfortable and energized; for example, I still enjoy eating spicy Sichuan noodles when I want a hearty meal.

× My favorite food is definitely Chinese food because there are a lot of cuisines in Chinese food.

✓ My favorite food is definitely Chinese cuisine because there are many regional cuisines in China.

Use 'cuisine' for uncountable concept and 'China' not 'Chinese food' to refer to the country; 'a lot of' is informal and 'many' fits with 'regional cuisines'. Also 'in Chinese food' is awkward; use 'in China' or 'regional cuisines'.

× Different areas have different preference of food.

✓ Different areas have different preferences in food.

Use the plural 'preferences' because 'different areas' implies multiple preferences (singular/plural agreement). Also use 'in food' or 'regarding food' for natural phrasing.

× For example, uh, in the southern China they prefer spicy food, however in the northern China they prefer something less salty.

✓ For example, in southern China they prefer spicy food; however, in northern China they prefer something less salty.

Do not use 'the' before 'southern China' and 'northern China'. Also add punctuation for clarity and use consistent phrasing ('southern China', 'northern China').

× Uh, when I was a child, I like spicy food.

✓ When I was a child, I liked spicy food.

The time expression 'when I was a child' sets the past, so the verb must be past tense 'liked' rather than present 'like'.

× It is because, uh, in my hometown, lots of Greek food are spicy.

✓ It is because, in my hometown, many local dishes are spicy.

'Lots of Greek food' is likely wrong contextually; 'many' is preferred with countable 'dishes'. 'Greek' seems incorrect — likely 'local' or 'regional'. Also use 'are spicy' with plural noun 'dishes'.

× So, uh, the biggest, the thing I want to have is to have spicy food after school.

✓ So the thing I wanted most was to have spicy food after school.

Remove redundant 'the biggest, the' and use past tense 'wanted' to match 'after school' in past context. Use natural phrasing 'the thing I wanted most' instead of awkward repetition.

× Yes, uh, to be honest, I enjoy hot pot during the winter because the warmness can bring you more energy and during the summer time I prefer cold food like sushi.

✓ To be honest, I enjoy hot pot during the winter because the warmth gives me more energy, and during the summer I prefer cold food like sushi.

Use 'warmth' (noun) instead of 'warmness'. 'Can bring you more energy' is colloquial and shifts perspective; use 'gives me more energy' to match speaker. Remove 'time' after 'summer' for natural phrasing.

× Uh, it will give you a fresh sauce and you can be more concentrated.

✓ It will give you a refreshing feeling and help you concentrate more.

'Fresh sauce' is incorrect collocation; probably meant 'refreshing' or 'refreshing feeling'. 'Be more concentrated' is not idiomatic for focus; use 'concentrate more'.

× To be honest, I don't have a favorite foods but my preference still stays the same.

✓ To be honest, I don't have a favorite food, but my preference has stayed the same.

Use singular 'favorite food' with 'don't have' and correct tense 'has stayed' to indicate continuity since childhood. Add comma before conjunction.

× I still prefer spicy food because I think the spicy food can makes me feel more comfortable uh rather than cold food.

✓ I still prefer spicy food because I think spicy food can make me feel more comfortable than cold food.

Remove extra 'the' before 'spicy food' for naturalness; 'can makes' is incorrect — use 'can make' (subject-verb agreement and verb form). Use 'more comfortable than' for comparison.

× I believe it can give M uh myself more energy.

✓ I believe it can give me more energy.

Remove extraneous sounds and incorrect pronoun use. Use 'me' as the correct object pronoun; 'myself' is unnecessary and 'M uh' appears to be filler/noise.
