Food— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid vague phrases like “and so on.” Use more precise vocabulary (e.g., ribs, pork chops, chicken drumsticks) and keep to at most 3–4 short sentences.

예시: I really enjoy Brazilian BBQ. It features a wide range of grilled meats, such as beef ribs, pork chops and chicken drumsticks, all seasoned and cooked over charcoal. I especially like the smoky flavor and the variety of cuts available.

제안: Make your answer concise and correct grammar. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then provide one clear comparison with specific reasons. Remove irrelevant or confusing phrases (e.g., “everywhere I go to a Cafe restaurant”). Use linking words like “because” or “compared to.”

예시: When I was young, my favourite food was KFC. I liked it because the seasoning and crispy coating tasted different from the Chinese style of fried chicken, with a distinctive blend of spices that I enjoyed.

제안: Correct grammar and be specific. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two seasonal examples using linking words (“for example,” “in winter,” “in summer”). Clarify unclear vocabulary (e.g., “southwestern Chinese style hotels” is incorrect — say ‘dishes’ or a cuisine name).

예시: Yes, I eat different foods at different times of the year. For example, in winter I often eat chicken congee that my mother makes because it is warm and comforting, while in summer I prefer light Sichuan-style cold noodles or spicy salads because they feel refreshing.

제안: Use clear, grammatical sentences and a concise explanation. Begin with a direct statement, then give specific reasons and a precise current preference. Replace vague phrases like “I thought have that” and “turn to Vietnamese for a bit more” with clearer expressions.

예시: Yes, my favourite food has changed. I loved KFC as a child, but as a teenager and adult I began to avoid it because it is quite greasy. Now I prefer Vietnamese food, such as pho and fresh spring rolls, because it feels lighter and healthier.

× They have big thick pork steaks, chicken drums and so on.

✓ It has big thick pork steaks, chicken drumsticks and so on.

The subject 'Brazilian BBQ' refers to a type of restaurant or food offering and is treated as a singular entity, so the pronoun should be 'it' rather than 'they'. Also 'chicken drums' is nonstandard; use 'chicken drumsticks' for the plural noun. Suggestion: ensure pronoun agrees in number with the noun it replaces and use standard noun forms.

× During my childhood, my favorite food was the Kentucky Fried Chicken from the USA.

✓ During my childhood, my favorite food was Kentucky Fried Chicken from the USA.

The phrase 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' is a brand name and does not need the definite article 'the' here. This is a present-tense/usage nuance: when referring to brands as general nouns, omit 'the'. Suggestion: omit unnecessary articles with brand names.

× I think that Kentucky Fried Chicken has a unique flavor compared to Chinese fried chicken.

✓ I think Kentucky Fried Chicken has a unique flavor compared to Chinese fried chicken.

Omit the word 'that' for more natural spoken English; this is a present-tense reporting of opinion. Suggestion: drop unnecessary conjunctions in conversational sentences.

× I love the taste of the seasoning on the KFC everywhere I go to a Cafe restaurant.

✓ I love the taste of the seasoning at KFC whenever I go to a cafe.

Several issues: use 'at KFC' (preposition) rather than 'on the KFC', and 'whenever' is more natural than 'everywhere' in this context. 'Cafe' should be lowercase. Also 'go to a cafe' is the correct collocation. Suggestion: use correct prepositions with locations and choose appropriate adverbs of frequency.

× Of course I do it slightly different food at different time of the year.

✓ Of course I eat slightly different foods at different times of the year.

Original mixes verb and object incorrectly ('do it' is wrong). Use 'eat' as the verb and plural 'foods' because 'different foods' is generic. Also use 'times of the year' or 'times of year' for plural. Suggestion: match verb to action and pluralize countable nouns when generalizing.

× For example, during the winter I enjoy the chicken porridge cooked by my mom and during the summer I'd like to eat southwestern Chinese style hotels.

✓ For example, during the winter I enjoy the chicken porridge my mom cooks, and during the summer I'd like to eat southwestern Chinese-style food.

Several errors: use active 'my mom cooks' instead of 'cooked by my mom' for clarity in speech. 'Chinese style' should be hyphenated as 'Chinese-style' when used as a compound adjective. 'Hotels' is incorrect; intended word is 'hotels' vs 'food' — here 'food' fits context. Suggestion: use correct compound adjectives and choose the correct noun to express cuisine.

× Yes, I thought have that.

✓ Yes, I think so.

The sentence is ungrammatical. The intended meaning is present opinion: 'I think so' or 'Yes, I have.' 'I thought have that' mixes tenses and structure. Suggestion: use simple present 'I think so' to express current agreement.

× I used to be a big fan of the Kentucky Fried Chicken while I was a kid, but when I just went into the teenager and then adult, my preference started to change.

✓ I used to be a big fan of Kentucky Fried Chicken when I was a kid, but as I became a teenager and then an adult, my preferences started to change.

Several issues: omit 'the' before the brand name, use 'when I was a kid' rather than 'while', 'went into the teenager' is incorrect — use 'became a teenager'. 'Preference' should be plural 'preferences' to match changing tastes. Verb tense 'started to change' is fine. Suggestion: use correct verbs for life stages ('become'), adjust singular/plural for abstract nouns.

× I think that KFC is not particularly healthy, so I turn to Vietnamese for a bit more.

✓ I think KFC is not particularly healthy, so I turn to Vietnamese food a bit more.

Need the noun 'food' after 'Vietnamese' to clarify meaning. 'For a bit more' is awkward; use 'a bit more' placed after the noun. Also drop 'that' for natural speech. Suggestion: include the head noun after national adjectives and place adverbial phrases correctly.
