Food— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is natural and relevant, but you can improve by starting with a clear topic sentence and adding one specific reason or brief example. Keep it concise (no more than 4–5 short sentences) and use a linking word when you add a reason.

例: My favourite food is Italian cuisine, especially pizza and pasta. For example, I like margherita pizza because the fresh tomatoes and basil give it a simple, satisfying flavour. Also, pasta dishes are versatile, so I often choose them when I want something comforting.

提案: The content is clear and specific, but you repeat the time reference. Improve by giving one concise topic sentence, then add a specific detail or short example to illustrate why you liked it, using a linking word to connect ideas.

例: When I was young, I mainly liked traditional Saudi dishes, such as rice served with chicken and spiced meat. For instance, my family often prepared kabsa for celebrations, and I loved the aromatic spices and tender meat.

提案: Your answer is understandable but slightly disorganized and repetitive. Begin with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No), then briefly explain and give one specific example. Use linking words to make the structure logical and avoid contradictory phrases.

例: No, I don't usually change what I eat during the year. However, I do adjust drinks with the seasons; for example, I drink iced tea in summer and hot coffee in winter. Other than beverages, my meals stay mostly the same.

提案: Your answer addresses the question but has some awkward phrasing and minor errors. Give a clear topic sentence, then explain briefly why your preference changed with a specific reason or example. Avoid repetition and check for small mistakes (e.g., 'pet pizza' likely 'pizza').

例: Yes, my tastes have changed since childhood. I used to prefer rice and chicken, but now I prefer Italian dishes like pizza and pasta because I enjoy the different flavours and variety. For example, I often choose pasta when eating out because it feels lighter and more interesting.

× I am not a very picky eater, but most of the time I enjoy eating Italian food like pizza and pasta.

✓ I am not a very picky eater, but most of the time I enjoy Italian food like pizza and pasta.

The phrase 'enjoy eating Italian food' is not wrong, but dropping 'eating' sounds more natural and concise here. This is a style/quantifier clarity issue rather than a strict grammar error; prefer the simpler collocation 'enjoy Italian food.' Suggestion: use concise verb-object collocations (enjoy Italian food).

× When I was younger, I preferred local food, Saudi food like rice and chicken and meat.

✓ When I was younger, I preferred local food, Saudi food like rice, chicken, and meat.

List items need commas and the article before 'meat' is unnecessary. Adding commas clarifies the list. Use the Oxford comma for clarity: 'rice, chicken, and meat.'

× That was the spread and our cultural food, so that was my favorite when I was younger.

✓ That was the traditional spread and part of our culture, so it was my favorite when I was younger.

'The spread and our cultural food' is awkward. Replacing with 'the traditional spread and part of our culture' clarifies meaning and improves sentence flow. Also change second 'that' to 'it' for variety and naturalness.

× I can't recall different foods at different times.

✓ I can't recall eating different foods at different times of the year.

The original lacks 'eating' and 'of the year' which makes the time reference unclear. Adding 'eating' creates the correct verb phrase and 'of the year' clarifies the seasonal context.

× No, I don't think I eat different food based on the weather.

✓ No, I don't think I eat different foods based on the weather.

'Food' should be plural 'foods' when referring to different kinds. Use plural when talking about varieties: 'different foods.'

× In case there's tea or coffee, yes, it changed from cold to hot.

✓ When it comes to tea or coffee, yes, it changes from cold to hot.

Tense and phrasing were inconsistent. Use 'when it comes to' for topic introduction and present simple 'changes' to describe habitual or general behavior. Also 'it' refers to the beverage, so present tense is appropriate.

× I believe it did change.

✓ I believe it has changed.

Context asks whether favorite has changed up to now; present perfect 'has changed' is more appropriate than simple past 'did change' to indicate a change that affects the present.

× When I was younger I would prefer rice over pet pizza or pasta and now I'm not very into rice.

✓ When I was younger I preferred rice over pizza or pasta, and now I'm not very into rice.

'Would prefer' is odd with a past time frame here; simple past 'preferred' is clearer. 'Pet' is a typo and should be removed. Use commas to separate clauses. Also ensure parallel items: 'pizza or pasta.'

× I don't enjoy eating rice or chicken.

✓ I don't enjoy rice or chicken.

Including 'eating' is acceptable but unnecessary. Simpler 'I don't enjoy rice or chicken' is more natural. This is a stylistic pronoun/pronoun-verb clarity adjustment.
