Food— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant, but reduce hesitation and expand slightly with a brief reason or description to be more engaging. Keep it within 2–3 sentences and avoid filler words like "uh."

例: I love Basque cheesecake because it has a rich, caramelized top and a creamy, slightly tangy interior. It's different from regular cheesecake and I enjoy its smooth texture and bold flavor.

提案: Use past tense consistently, avoid repetition, and give one specific example or reason. Combine ideas into one or two coherent sentences using linking words.

例: When I was young, I loved sweets, especially candies and chocolate bars. Because I had a sweet tooth, I often chose dessert over savory snacks.

提案: Correct grammar (use present simple) and make the statement more natural. Add a brief reason to support the claim and use a linking word if needed.

例: Not really. I stick to a regular routine of protein, vegetables, and fruits throughout the year because I find it helps me stay healthy regardless of the season.

提案: Finish your thought and avoid hesitations. Use clear past and present contrasts, and give a specific example of a savory food you prefer now with a reason.

例: Yes. As a child I preferred sweets such as chocolate and cakes, but now I usually prefer savory foods like grilled chicken or salty snacks because I enjoy stronger, more complex flavors.

× When I was young, I like candies and.

✓ When I was young, I liked candies and other sweets.

The sentence refers to a past time 'When I was young', so the verb should be in past tense. Change 'like' to 'liked'. Also complete the fragment 'and.' by specifying 'other sweets' for clarity. Suggestion: Use past tense verbs to describe past habits (e.g., 'I liked').

× Also some kind of sweets, All the sweet stuff, sweet foods I enjoyed eating.

✓ Also, I enjoyed various kinds of sweets and all sweet foods.

The original is a fragmented list with capitalization error and awkward word order. Combine into a complete sentence and place adjectives before nouns correctly: 'various kinds of sweets' and 'sweet foods'. Suggestion: Make lists into full sentences and use correct adjective order ('various kinds of sweets').

× Not exactly. I remained my food routine like protein, vegetables, fruits every day no matter it's winter or summer.

✓ Not exactly. I keep my food routine of protein, vegetables, and fruits every day no matter whether it's winter or summer.

The speaker refers to a habitual present routine, so present simple is appropriate ('keep' rather than 'remained'). 'Remained' is incorrect here. Also use 'of' to show the content of the routine and add 'whether' for the clause 'whether it's winter or summer'. Include commas and 'and' in a list. Suggestion: Use present simple to state routines and use 'keep' or 'maintain' for habits ('I keep my routine of...').

× Yes, of course I enjoyed eating sweet treats like chocolate, uh, cakes, but now I mostly, uh, crave for savory foods like uh.

✓ Yes, of course I enjoyed eating sweet treats like chocolate and cakes when I was younger, but now I mostly crave savory foods.

This contrasts past habit with present preference, so keep past tense 'enjoyed' for the past and present simple 'crave' for the current habitual preference. Remove the preposition 'for' after 'crave' (crave takes a direct object). Omit filler 'uh' and complete the list clearly. Add time phrase 'when I was younger' for clarity. Suggestion: Use past tense for past habits and present simple for current preferences; use 'crave' without 'for' (e.g., 'crave savory foods').

× My favorite food is cheesecake, uh, especially Basque cheesecake that is trendy nowadays.

✓ My favorite food is cheesecake, especially Basque cheesecake, which is trendy nowadays.

The clause describing Basque cheesecake needs a relative pronoun 'which' and commas to set off the nonrestrictive clause. 'That is' suggests a restrictive clause; 'which' is more natural here. Also remove filler 'uh' for written clarity. Suggestion: Use 'which' plus commas for additional descriptive information (nonrestrictive clauses) and avoid filler words in prepared answers.
