Food— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more accurate and natural with names and tenses, and make your response concise with one clear topic sentence followed by a brief specific reason or example. Use correct vocabulary (e.g. 'tteokbokki' not 'Takuki/Takpoke/Taco key') and consistent past/simple present tense. Limit to 2–4 short sentences and avoid repetition.

例: My favourite food is tteokbokki, a spicy Korean rice-cake dish. I love it because of the spicy-sweet sauce and chewy texture, and my mother first made it for me when I was a child, so it also reminds me of home.

提案: Start with a direct topic sentence about past preference, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking phrase. Keep verb tenses consistent (past simple) and use plural agreement and appropriate adjectives (e.g. 'they tasted fresh').

例: When I was young, I liked eating vegetables, especially broccoli and cabbage. They tasted very fresh, so I often ate them with my family before the main meal.

提案: Answer directly, then give specific seasonal examples with correct fruit names and simple linking words. Use consistent capitalization and correct vocabulary (e.g. 'mandarins' or 'tangerines' and 'mulberries' if you mean that). Make sentences concise and check plurality.

例: Yes, I do. Seasonal produce is fresher and cheaper, so in winter I usually eat tangerines and strawberries, while in summer I enjoy eating mulberries and peaches.

提案: Give a clear topic sentence, then one concise supporting reason with correct grammar and consistent food name. Use linking words like 'because' and correct verb forms ('makes' or 'made') to explain why it hasn't changed. Avoid repeating the food name with different spellings.

例: No, my favourite food has not changed; it is still tteokbokki. My mother often makes it for me when I am stressed during exams, so it has comforting memories for me.

× My favorite food is Takuki, which is spicy rice cake food.

✓ My favorite food is Takuki, which is a spicy rice cake dish.

Use of noun modifiers is incorrect: 'rice cake food' is unnatural in English. Use 'dish' after a description of a prepared food and include the article 'a'. Suggestion: say 'a spicy rice cake dish' to be natural and grammatically correct.

× It's kind of Korean traditional food.

✓ It's a kind of traditional Korean food.

Word order and article use: 'Korean traditional food' is understandable but natural order is 'traditional Korean food' and you need the indefinite article 'a' before 'kind'. Suggestion: use 'a kind of traditional Korean food' or 'a traditional Korean dish'.

× So when I was a little my mom made Taco key.

✓ So when I was little my mom made Takuki.

Phrase and tense: 'when I was a little' is incorrect; use 'when I was little'. Also use consistent spelling 'Takuki'. Suggestion: 'When I was little my mom made Takuki.'

× That was my first time ever and still now Takpoke is my favorite food.

✓ That was my first time ever, and even now Takuki is my favorite food.

Run-on and word choice: 'still now' is nonstandard; use 'even now' or 'still'. 'Takpoke' appears to be misspelling; maintain consistent name 'Takuki'. Suggestion: use a comma before 'and' and 'even now' for clarity.

× To be honest, I really liked some vegetables such as broccoli or cabbage.

✓ To be honest, I really liked vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage.

Use of 'some' plus 'or' is awkward here. For listing examples, use plural noun without 'some' and connect with 'and'. Suggestion: 'vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage.'

× It tastes very fresh, so before I ate meals, I usually ate broccoli and cabbage with my family.

✓ They taste very fresh, so before meals I usually ate broccoli and cabbage with my family.

Agreement: 'vegetables' is plural so use 'they' not 'it'. Word order: 'before I ate meals' is awkward; use 'before meals'. Suggestion: 'They taste very fresh, so before meals I usually ate broccoli and cabbage with my family.'

× Yes, I think so because it's more fresh and cheaper.

✓ Yes, I think so because they are fresher and cheaper.

Reference and agreement: 'it' unclear; refers to foods (plural), so use 'they' and comparative 'fresher' not 'more fresh'. Suggestion: 'they are fresher and cheaper.'

× For example, I usually eat Tangerines and strawberries in winter, while in summer I usually eat Mullen.

✓ For example, I usually eat tangerines and strawberries in winter, while in summer I usually eat mulberries.

Capitalization: common fruits should be lowercase. 'Mullen' seems to be a misspelling; likely 'mulberries' or another summer fruit—correct to 'mulberries'. Articles not needed in this list. Suggestion: use lowercase and correct fruit name.

× No, still now my favorite food is Takuki.

✓ No, even now my favorite food is Takuki.

Use of 'still now' is nonstandard; use 'even now' or simply 'still'. Maintain present tense 'is'. Suggestion: 'Even now my favorite food is Takuki.'

× For example, when I get stressed a lot due to my exam or test, my mom usually make Taco for me so I still like that.

✓ For example, when I get very stressed because of exams or tests, my mom usually makes Takuki for me, so I still like it.

Several issues: subject-verb agreement 'my mom usually make' should be 'makes'. 'Due to' is better as 'because of' here. Use plural 'exams or tests' or 'an exam or a test'. Maintain consistent food name 'Takuki' and use 'it' to refer to the dish. Suggestion: 'When I get very stressed because of exams, my mom usually makes Takuki for me, so I still like it.'
