Food— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a slightly longer, more natural answer with one clear topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Use a linking word to connect description and a brief reason why you like it. Also correct small naturalness issues (e.g., say "traditional dish" rather than "traditional food").

例: My favourite food is a traditional dish called Bechamar. It’s made from layers of dough filled with minced meat and potatoes, and it’s usually seasoned with cumin and coriander, which gives it a warm, savory flavour. I love it because it reminds me of family gatherings and home-cooked meals.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence, then add a linked supporting detail about taste or memory. Use a linking word (for example or because) and correct phrasing (e.g., "lasagna has layers of pasta filled with meat"). Keep it natural and concise.

例: When I was young I loved lasagna. For example, it has layers of pasta filled with a meat sauce and cheese, and I liked it because the melted cheese and rich tomato flavour felt comforting.

提案: Clarify the answer and keep it relevant to seasonal changes. Mention specific seasonal foods or traditions, use linking words (for example, in winter, during festivals), and avoid unrelated or unclear sentences. Be concise and natural.

例: Yes, I do eat different foods at different times of the year. For example, in winter my family makes a hot stew and bread to stay warm, while in summer we eat more salads and grilled foods. Also, during celebrations we usually have special dishes and share them with relatives.

提案: This is a good concise response; you can improve by adding one brief supporting reason or example to make the answer more engaging. Use a linking word like "because" or "since" to connect the reason.

例: No, it hasn’t changed since I was a child because Bechamar is a family recipe that my parents still make for special occasions, so I’ve always enjoyed it.

× My favorite food is called Bechamar.

✓ My favorite food is Bechamar.

Using 'is called' is not incorrect but sounds awkward for naming a favorite food; it's more natural to state 'My favorite food is Bechamar.' This removes unnecessary passive construction and keeps the sentence concise. Suggestion: Use simple linking verb 'is' to name people or things (My favorite food is X).

× It's traditional food.

✓ It's a traditional food.

When describing a type of food in general with singular 'food', the indefinite article 'a' is needed before 'traditional' to indicate one kind or example. Alternatively, 'It's traditional' or 'It's a traditional dish' are natural. Suggestion: Use 'a' before singular countable nouns modified by adjectives (a traditional dish).

× It contains dough, meat and potatoes.

✓ It contains dough, meat, and potatoes.

This sentence is grammatically fine but lacking the serial comma; adding a comma before 'and' improves clarity in lists. Also consider 'potato' vs 'potatoes'—'potatoes' is correct as multiple pieces. Suggestion: Use commas to separate list items: 'dough, meat, and potatoes.'

× What kind of food did you like when you were young? -- When I was young, I liked lasagna.

✓ When I was young, I liked lasagna.

The original sentence is correct in tense and form. No change needed. (Included here to acknowledge review; no grammatical error from the provided list.)

× Its texture is layers of dough and filled with meat.

✓ Its texture is layers of dough, and it is filled with meat.

The original mixes noun phrase 'layers of dough' with passive participle 'filled with meat' without parallel structure. Making two coordinated clauses with 'it is' creates correct parallelism. Alternatively: 'It has layers of dough and is filled with meat.' Suggestion: Keep parallel structure when joining descriptions: 'has ... and is ...'.

× Do you eat different foods at different times of the year? -- Yes, I eat different foods at different times of the year, like pizza or burgers.

✓ Yes, I eat different foods at different times of the year, like pizza or burgers.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable and uses present simple correctly to describe habitual actions. No correction needed.

× When I succeed something, I am because I enjoy it.

✓ When I succeed at something, I celebrate because I enjoy it.

The original has incorrect verb usage and missing object: 'succeed something' is wrong; the correct pattern is 'succeed at something'. 'I am because I enjoy it' is ungrammatical and lacks a predicate. Replacing with 'I celebrate because I enjoy it' gives a clear main verb and meaning. Suggestion: Use correct verb patterns ('succeed at') and include a clear main verb for the second clause ('I celebrate').

× It's really happy to celebrate it with family.

✓ I'm really happy to celebrate it with my family.

'It's really happy' uses 'happy' to describe 'it', which is incorrect; the speaker should be the happy one: 'I'm really happy.' Also include possessive 'my family' to specify relationship. Suggestion: Use appropriate subject for emotional adjectives and add possessive when referring to family.

× Has your favourite food changed since you were a child? -- No, it hasn't changed since I was a child.

✓ No, it hasn't changed since I was a child.

This answer correctly uses the present perfect 'hasn't changed' with 'since' to reference a past point. No correction needed.
