× Honestly I don't have any specific favorite food because I'm a easy going person so I can enjoy with all of the food.
✓ Honestly I don't have any specific favourite food because I'm an easy-going person so I can enjoy all kinds of food.
Errors: 'a easy going' uses incorrect article before a vowel sound and missing hyphen; 'enjoy with all of the food' is incorrect phrasing. Use 'an' before vowel sound and hyphenate 'easy-going' as a compound adjective. Replace 'enjoy with all of the food' with 'enjoy all kinds of food' or 'enjoy any food' to convey ability to enjoy many foods. Also 'favorite' -> 'favourite' optional (British spelling) to match 'favourite' in question.
× When I were young I prefer something not spicy because I cannot eat something spice yet, so I would love to eat some easy thing like omelette or noodles.
✓ When I was young I preferred foods that were not spicy because I could not eat spicy food yet, so I loved to eat simple things like omelettes or noodles.
Errors: 'When I were young' uses incorrect verb form for singular subject; should be 'was' (subject-verb agreement). 'I prefer' should be past tense 'I preferred' to match time frame. 'I cannot eat something spice yet' mixes tenses and word forms: use past ability 'could not' and adjective form 'spicy' with noun 'food' or 'spicy food'. 'some easy thing' is vague and uses adjective order; 'simple things' is more natural, and plural 'omelettes' fits. Ensure consistent past tense throughout.
× No, it is not different because when I select dishes I didn't refer to the time or the weather in a year.
✓ No, it's not different because when I select dishes I don't refer to the time or the weather of the year.
Errors: Mix of present and past tense ('is not different' with 'didn't refer') causes inconsistency. Use present simple consistently: 'I don't refer'. 'In a year' is awkward; 'of the year' or 'during the year' is clearer. Also contract 'it's' is acceptable. Maintain consistent tense for habitual actions.
× I think yes, because when I was young I cannot eat something spicy, but after I grew up I can eat a lot of thing that contains spice. So my favorite food a little bit change.
✓ I think so, because when I was young I could not eat spicy food, but after I grew up I could eat many more spicy dishes. So my favourite food has changed a little bit.
Errors: 'I think yes' is less natural than 'I think so'. Use past ability 'could not' for childhood inability. 'I can eat a lot of thing that contains spice' mixes tenses and has count errors: use 'could eat many more spicy dishes' or 'I can now eat many spicy foods' depending on intended meaning. Final sentence 'So my favorite food a little bit change' lacks a verb and has incorrect tense; use present perfect 'has changed a little bit' to indicate change from past to now. Also pluralization and article use corrected.
