× I'm flexible to eat everything, but my favorite food is biryani, which is a tasty food of Pakistan And uh, I like, uh, I like biryani because, uh, it's, I love, uh, the spicy flavor of, uh, this food.
✓ I'm flexible about eating everything, but my favorite food is biryani, which is a tasty dish from Pakistan. I like biryani because I love the spicy flavor of it.
Preposition 'flexible to' is incorrect; use 'flexible about' or 'open to'. 'Tasty food of Pakistan' is awkward; use 'tasty dish from Pakistan'. Redundant fillers removed and pronoun use corrected: use 'it' to refer to biryani. Suggestions: replace 'flexible to' with 'flexible about' or 'open to', use 'dish from' for origin, and use 'it' instead of repeating 'this food'.
× When I was young, my mother told me to eat everything, uh, because everything is made by umm, Oh God. Uh, he blessed us with a different variety. Uh, so she taught me to eat everything, umm, now the people.
✓ When I was young, my mother told me to eat everything because everything is made by God. He blessed us with different varieties, so she taught me to eat everything.
Mixed and awkward tense and phrasing: 'is made by Oh God' should be 'is made by God' and fits past narration; 'a different variety' should be plural 'different varieties'. Remove unnecessary fillers and extraneous fragment 'now the people'. Suggestions: keep past narration consistent and use plural for 'varieties'.
× Yes, I do, uh, on different occasions we go out, uh, we usually go out for dinner or lunch with our family and siblings. Umm, I like different kind of, uh, I like exploring different, uh, food because I'm a foodie person.
✓ Yes, I do. On different occasions we usually go out for dinner or lunch with our family and siblings. I like different kinds of food because I'm a foodie.
Use plural 'different kinds of' when talking about multiple types. 'Exploring different food' is acceptable but 'different kinds of food' is more natural. Remove redundant phrases 'I like' repetition and 'person' after 'foodie'. Suggestions: use plural quantifier 'kinds of' and streamline repetition.
× Yes, uh, it has been changed. When I was a child, I eat uh, all the stuff that my mother told me to eat. But when I got younger at the age of 30, I uh, I'm Choo, I'm little bit choosy and foody. So I usually eat uh, continental food and Chinese food these.
✓ Yes, it has changed. When I was a child, I ate all the foods my mother told me to eat. But when I became older, around the age of 30, I became a little bit choosy and foodie. Now I usually eat continental and Chinese food.
Tense and verb forms incorrect: 'has been changed' is passive and awkward; use 'has changed'. 'I eat' should be past 'I ate' to match 'When I was a child'. 'When I got younger at the age of 30' is contradictory; use 'became older' or 'when I was about 30'. 'I'm Choo' unclear—interpreted as 'choosy'. 'foody' misspelling; use 'foodie'. 'these' at sentence end is incorrect; remove. Suggestions: keep tenses consistent, use proper past forms, correct vocabulary 'choosy' and 'foodie', and remove stray words.
