Food— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make the response grammatically correct, concise and add a brief reason or description. Use a clear topic sentence and one supporting detail. Avoid short fragments and repetition.

Ví dụ: My favourite food is the Filipino dish called adobo. I love it because the meat is tender and marinated in a savory soy‑vinegar sauce that gives it a rich, tangy flavour.

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear topic sentence in the past tense, then give specific examples and a reason. Use linking words to organise the detail and correct verb forms.

Ví dụ: When I was young, I liked fried foods and savoury dishes. For example, I often ate fried chicken and adobo because they were tasty and easy for my family to prepare.

Gợi ý: Give a direct, grammatically correct answer and then briefly explain. Use linking words (however, usually) to make coherence and avoid contradictory phrases.

Ví dụ: Not really; normally we eat the same kinds of dishes year‑round. However, during special occasions or holidays we sometimes prepare different foods that are more festive.

Gợi ý: State clearly whether it has changed, use simple past and present for contrast, avoid repetition, and add a brief reason. Keep it to one topic sentence plus one supporting sentence.

Ví dụ: My favourite food hasn't changed since childhood; I still enjoy adobo and chicken. I like them because the flavours are familiar and comforting, so I keep choosing them even now.

× It's a Filipino dish. It called adobo.

✓ It's a Filipino dish. It's called adobo.

The original sentence omits the auxiliary verb required for the passive voice. 'Called' is a past participle and needs 'is' or 'was' before it. Use 'It's called adobo' to form the present passive construction meaning 'it is known as adobo.'

× What kind of food did you like when you were young?

✓ What kind of food did you like when you were young?

This sentence is correct and already uses the past tense auxiliary 'did' with the base verb 'like.' No correction needed.

× As I remember when I was young, I usually eat food like have a savory flavor and fried like fried chicken and adobo.

✓ As I remember, when I was young I usually ate foods that had a savory flavor and were fried, like fried chicken and adobo.

Multiple present/past tense and structure problems: 'usually eat' should be past 'usually ate' to match 'when I was young.' 'Food like have' is ungrammatical; use 'foods that had' to describe characteristics. Parallel structure requires 'were fried' to match 'were (have) savory flavor.' Also pluralize 'foods' when speaking generally. Reordering improves clarity.

× I don't think so. It's quite often we eat different foods or type. We eat usual food that we have that's served on the table.

✓ I don't think so. We don't often eat different types of food. We usually eat the same dishes that are served on the table.

Problems: 'It's quite often' is awkward here; use 'We don't often' to match negative. 'Foods or type' is incorrect; use 'types of food.' 'We eat usual food' should be 'We usually eat the same dishes.' Use 'are served' to form passive present and 'the same' clarifies repetition.

× Up until now, I still remember the food I ate when I was young and now, and I think it's still the same. It's still still the same. The flavor, the types of food like chicken and adobo like that.

✓ Up until now, I still remember the food I ate when I was young and now, and I think it's still the same. The flavors and types of food, like chicken and adobo, are similar.

Redundancy ('still still') removed. 'The flavor, the types of food like chicken and adobo like that' is ungrammatical: use plural 'flavors' and restructure to 'the flavors and types of food, like chicken and adobo, are similar.' This clarifies the comparison and uses correct pluralization and verb agreement.
