Food— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be clearer and more natural: state your favourite food directly, correct vocabulary errors, and add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Keep it concise (≤5 sentences).

例: My favourite food is homemade vegetable stew because it is nutritious and comforting. For example, it has carrots, potatoes and beans, which provide lots of vitamins and fiber. Additionally, I usually eat it with crusty bread, which makes the meal more satisfying.

提案: Organize the answer with a clear topic sentence, use linking words to show change, and avoid repetition. Be specific about examples and keep sentences natural.

例: When I was young, I mostly liked high-protein foods and fried snacks. However, as I grew older, I began to enjoy vegetables more; for instance, I now like salads and steamed greens. That said, my favourite childhood treat was definitely French fries.

提案: Remove hesitations and give a clear, specific answer with examples and linking words. Explain how seasonal changes affect your diet and mention particular foods for each season.

例: Yes, I eat different foods in different seasons. For example, in summer I prefer light, fresh foods like tomatoes, cucumbers and salads, whereas in winter I eat more hearty dishes such as stews and roasted potatoes to stay warm.

提案: Avoid informal or self-deprecating phrases like “dumb.” Give a direct topic sentence, state how your tastes changed and support with specific examples and a linking word to show contrast.

例: Yes, my favourite food has changed since childhood. I mainly ate French fries as a child, but now I prefer balanced meals and include proteins like chicken and beef alongside vegetables. For example, I often have grilled chicken with a side of roasted vegetables instead of only fries.

× My favorite food is my homemade veggie Stew because it contains lots of vitamins, miners and specifically on the side.

✓ My favorite food is my homemade veggie stew because it contains lots of vitamins and minerals, and I eat it as a side dish.

The original sentence contains incorrect words and awkward phrasing: 'miners' is a misspelling of 'minerals' (an adjective/noun choice issue) and 'specifically on the side' is an incorrect adverbial/adjective phrase. This fits 'Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs' because word choice and modifiers are wrong. Correction: replace 'miners' with 'minerals' and rephrase 'specifically on the side' to 'I eat it as a side dish' for clarity and correct modifier use. Suggestion: check word spellings and ensure modifiers clearly relate to the noun or verb they modify.

× What kind of food did you like when you were young? -> My diet used to be heavy on protein.

✓ My diet used to be heavy in protein.

'Used to' correctly indicates past habit, but the preposition 'on' is incorrect with 'heavy' + noun; this is a past-tense construction combined with a wrong preposition. This falls under 'Past tense issue' because the sentence references past habits and needs correct collocation. Correction: use 'heavy in protein' or better 'high in protein'. Suggestion: use common collocations: 'used to' + adjective + 'in' or use 'high in'.

× I never really liked vegetables but the more I grew up, I also grew up to like eating veggies so that changed.

✓ I never really liked vegetables, but as I grew up, I came to like eating vegetables, so that changed.

The original has pronoun/referent and phrasing issues: 'the more I grew up' is awkward and 'I also grew up to like' incorrectly uses reflexive growth language. This fits 'Incorrect use of pronouns' since 'that' and 'so' link clauses poorly and 'I also grew up to like' misuses reflexive structure. Correction: use 'as I grew up' and 'came to like' which properly links the subject to the change. Suggestion: use clear temporal connectors ('as', 'when') and verbs like 'come to' to express gradual change.

× But looking back when I was a kid, the thing I loved the most was French fries apparently.

✓ But looking back when I was a kid, the thing I loved the most was French fries.

'Apparently' is unnecessary and awkwardly placed, functioning as an adverb that conflicts with speaker certainty. This is an 'Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs' issue. Correction: remove 'apparently' to make the sentence natural. Suggestion: avoid adding adverbs that contradict the speaker's statement; place adverbs close to the verb or adjective they modify.

× Depending on the seasons, if uh, if the weather is hot and summer seasons, uh tomato and potato.

✓ Depending on the season, if the weather is hot in summer, I eat tomatoes and potatoes.

Problems: 'seasons' plural with 'depending on' and 'summer seasons' redundant; missing verb; singular nouns 'tomato and potato' should be plural when speaking generally. This matches 'Incorrect use of prepositions' because prepositional phrases like 'in summer' and 'depending on the season' are used incorrectly. Correction: 'Depending on the season' and 'in summer' are correct prepositional uses; add verb 'I eat' and pluralize food names. Suggestion: use 'in summer' for seasonal reference and plural forms for general food items.

× Uh, I used to eat tomato and potato uh, if.

✓ I used to eat tomatoes and potatoes during summer.

The original is incomplete and ungrammatical ('if' left hanging). This is a 'Sentence structure errors' case because the clause lacks a proper condition or main verb structure. Correction: complete the thought with a time reference and plural nouns. Suggestion: avoid trailing conjunctions like 'if' without a clause; complete sentences with clear subjects and predicates.

× Of course it did. When I was a kid, I was a little, uh, I don't want to say that, but dumb.

✓ Of course it did. When I was a kid, I was a little, uh, I don't want to say this, but naive.

While 'did' correctly refers to past change, the use of 'dumb' is inappropriate and 'I don't want to say that' uses 'that' improperly; better word choice and pronoun reference needed. This falls under 'Past tense issue' because it discusses past state and uses pronouns awkwardly; replace with 'this' and a milder adjective 'naive'. Suggestion: choose more appropriate adjectives and match demonstrative pronouns to the clause.

× So I used to only eat French fries, but the world is more than that.

✓ So I used to eat only French fries, but the world is more than that.

Placement of the adverb 'only' is awkward. This is 'Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs' (adverb placement). Move 'only' to follow the auxiliary 'used to' or before the verb phrase: 'used to eat only French fries' for better flow. Suggestion: place adverbs close to the word they modify; 'eat only French fries' is clearer.

× We have proteins such as chicken, such as meat.

✓ We have proteins such as chicken and meat.

Redundant use of 'such as' and awkward listing is an adjective/adverb usage problem. This matches 'Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs'. Correction: use a single 'such as' and join items with 'and'. Suggestion: when listing examples, use one 'such as' then list items separated by commas and 'and'.

× So right now I make sure to eat those on the side of French fries.

✓ So right now I make sure to eat those alongside French fries.

'On the side of' is an incorrect prepositional phrase here; 'alongside' or 'on the side with' would be better. This fits 'Incorrect use of prepositions'. Correction: use 'alongside' to show accompaniment. Suggestion: use 'alongside' or 'as a side dish with' for natural collocations.
