× I really like sweet so my favorite food is candy and cake.
✓ I really like sweets, so my favorite foods are candy and cake.
The adjective 'sweet' should be the noun 'sweets' to refer to sweet foods (plural). Also 'food' should be plural 'foods' because two items (candy and cake) are listed. Use of commas improves sentence clarity. Suggested improvement: use countable/plural forms when listing multiple items and match noun forms (Vietnamese: Sử dụng danh từ số nhiều khi liệt kê nhiều món; đổi 'sweet' thành 'sweets').
× I usually eat sweet when I'm sad or something like my birthday party or some some special celebrations.
✓ I usually eat sweets when I'm sad or at events like my birthday or other special celebrations.
Again 'sweet' should be the plural noun 'sweets'. The phrase 'something like my birthday party' is informal and unclear; use 'events like my birthday' or 'at my birthday party'. Remove duplicated 'some'. Suggested improvement: replace adjective with plural noun and use clearer prepositional phrases (Vietnamese: Thay 'sweet' bằng 'sweets'; sửa cụm từ lặp và dùng giới từ thích hợp).
× When I was a child, I really love fried chicken and that is one-of-a-kind of food I love because it's really a tasty and yummy.
✓ When I was a child, I really loved fried chicken; it was a unique food I loved because it was very tasty.
The main clause refers to a past time ('When I was a child'), so verbs should be in the past tense ('loved', 'was'). 'One-of-a-kind of food' is awkward; 'a unique food' is more natural. Avoid informal words like 'yummy' in formal correction or replace with 'tasty'. Suggested improvement: maintain consistent past tense in past-time sentences and choose natural collocations (Vietnamese: Khi nói về quá khứ, động từ phải ở quá khứ; dùng cụm từ tự nhiên hơn như 'a unique food').
× So when I eat fried chicken, I usually, umm, tell that to my mom.
✓ So when I eat fried chicken, I usually tell my mom about it.
The sentence mixes filler 'umm' which should be removed for correctness. 'Tell that to my mom' is awkward; the natural expression is 'tell my mom about it'. The present simple 'eat' and 'usually tell' are correct for habitual actions. Suggested improvement: remove fillers and use natural prepositional phrase 'tell someone about something' (Vietnamese: Bỏ từ lắp, dùng 'tell my mom about it').
× I think no because in in this time I really love sweet so I can't eat sweet like candy or cakes all of the time and if I have a chance I will try some more food or specifically is some small suite like all the cake or cookies.
✓ I don't think so because right now I really love sweets, but I can't eat candy or cakes all the time; if I have the chance, I will try other foods, specifically small sweets like slices of cake or cookies.
Use 'I don't think so' for negative opinion. 'In in this time' is incorrect; use 'right now'. 'Love' about current preference is acceptable as 'love' but better 'really love sweets'. 'Can't eat sweet like candy or cakes all of the time' needs plural 'sweets' and consistent nouns. 'Some small suite' is a misspelling; should be 'small sweets' or 'small treats'. 'All the cake' is wrong; use 'slices of cake'. Suggested improvement: correct negation, avoid repetition, use plural nouns and correct word choices ('sweets', 'slices of cake', 'small treats') (Vietnamese: Sửa phủ định, dùng danh từ số nhiều, sửa lỗi chính tả 'suite' -> 'sweets' hoặc 'treats').
× I think yes because when I was a child I really love chicken fried chicken but now I love sweet too much and I usually eat it when I'm sad or have some of have some board so umm it is the little chance.
✓ I think so; when I was a child I really loved fried chicken, but now I love sweets too much and I usually eat them when I'm sad or bored, so there is little chance of changing that.
Use 'loved' for past preference. 'Chicken fried chicken' is word order error; correct is 'fried chicken'. 'Love sweet too much' should be 'love sweets too much' and refer plural pronoun 'them'. 'Have some of have some board' is incorrect; intended 'bored'. Replace filler 'umm'. 'It is the little chance' is ungrammatical; use 'there is little chance' or 'there is little chance of changing that'. Suggested improvement: maintain past tense for past events, fix word order, use correct adjectives (bored), correct pronoun agreement, and use natural phrases like 'there is little chance' (Vietnamese: Dùng quá khứ cho quá khứ, sửa trật tự từ, sửa 'bored', dùng đại từ số nhiều 'them' và cụm 'there is little chance').
