What is your favourite food?

예시: My favourite foods are traditional South Indian dishes such as idli, dosa and rice with curry. I like them because they are light, flavorful and often made with fresh spices. For example, I enjoy dosa with spicy coconut chutney because the crisp texture and tangy chutney balance each other.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?

예시: When I was young, I loved crispy dosas and soft idlis with spicy coconut chutney and sambar. My mother used to make them every weekend, so I always remember the warm smell of batter frying on the pan.

× My favorite food is traditional food of my country.
✓ My favorite food is the traditional food of my country.
The noun phrase needs the definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific set of foods (those of the speaker's country). Add 'the' before 'traditional food' to make the reference clear.
× Which was, which is idli, dosa and rice and Curry.
✓ They are idli, dosa, rice, and curry.
The original fragment uses awkward relative clauses and inconsistent tense. Replace with a clear simple sentence 'They are...' to list items. Use lowercase 'curry' as it is a common noun and add commas for lists.
× Uh, we have it with uh, curries that have spices.
✓ We eat them with spicy curries.
'It' is vague; use 'them' to refer to the foods listed. 'Curries that have spices' is wordy; 'spicy curries' is natural. Use present simple 'eat' for habitual actions.
× I prefer to eat as a child.
✓ I preferred to eat them as a child.
The sentence mixes present tense 'prefer' with past time 'as a child'. Use past tense 'preferred' to match the past time reference and add 'them' to refer to the foods.
× Dosa, crispy dosas and light and soft idlis.
✓ Dosa: crispy dosas and light, soft idlis.
This is a fragment; punctuate as a list. Add commas between adjectives and nouns. Use consistent pluralization and punctuation to clarify meaning.
× Uh, with spicy coconut chutneys or with samba? Which was made by my mom.
✓ with spicy coconut chutney or sambar, which was made by my mom.
Use 'chutney' and 'sambar' (standard spellings) in singular or uncountable form when referring to a type of sauce. Combine into one sentence and use a comma before the non-restrictive clause 'which was made by my mom.' Remove the question mark.
× It's depends as in summer uh we often eat spicy and flavor food rather than the cold ones, but sometime we did have some cold based foods.
✓ It depends; in summer we often eat spicy and flavorful food rather than cold dishes, but sometimes we have some cold foods.
'It depends' is correct; remove the extra 's'. 'Flavor' should be 'flavorful' as an adjective. Use 'cold dishes' or 'cold foods' instead of 'the cold ones.' 'Sometime' should be 'sometimes.' Use present simple 'have' for habitual actions.
× Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
✓ (No change needed)
The question sentence from the examiner is correct, so no correction required.
× As a child, I prefer to have crispy dosa and soft idlies with crispy and spicy coconut chutney or with samba uh, but at the present I prefer to have rice and Curry uh, with uh, difference.
✓ As a child, I preferred to have crispy dosas and soft idlis with crispy, spicy coconut chutney or with sambar, but at present I prefer to have rice and curry with different dishes.
Match past reference 'As a child' with past tense 'preferred.' Use plural 'dosas' and 'idlis' for consistency. Correct spelling 'sambar' and lowercase 'curry.' 'At the present' should be 'at present.' 'With different dishes' is clearer than 'with difference.' Ensure comma placement and adjective order 'crispy, spicy'.
