Food— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more specific and concise: start with a clear topic sentence stating your favourite, then give one or two vivid supporting details (flavour, ingredients, occasions) and a short reason why you like it. Avoid filler words like “actually” and unnecessary phrases like “it's really worth a try.” Use a linking word to connect idea and reason.

Ví dụ: My favourite food is Shashoka, a traditional Algerian dish. I love it for its rich, spicy tomato sauce and the combination of tender meat and sautéed vegetables. Because the spices and textures blend so well, I often choose it for family gatherings.

Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence then add one specific example and a brief reason for the change. Use a linking word (e.g., “but” or “however”) to show contrast and keep sentences concise. Avoid vague phrases like “just like any other kid.”

Ví dụ: As a child I mainly liked junk food, especially pizza and burgers. However, as I got older I began to prefer homemade meals because they taste fresher and are healthier.

Gợi ý: Provide specific examples and a clear reason for seasonal differences. Replace hedging words like “maybe” with confident statements and use linking words to contrast seasons. Keep to two or three sentences max.

Ví dụ: Yes. In winter I usually eat hearty soups and stews to stay warm, while in summer I prefer light, refreshing salads and cold drinks because they help me cool down.

Gợi ý: Answer directly without filler phrases like “Umm” and “that's a good question.” State the change clearly, give a specific example of old vs current preference, and explain briefly why the change happened using a linking word such as “because.”

Ví dụ: Yes, it has changed. As a child I preferred pizza and other fast foods, but now I prefer homemade, healthier dishes because I care more about nutrition and taste.

× My favorite food is actually a traditional Algerian food which is Shashoka.

✓ My favorite food is actually a traditional Algerian dish called Shashoka.

The phrase 'a traditional Algerian food which is Shashoka' is awkward and uses article and noun choice incorrectly. Use 'dish' instead of 'food' for a specific prepared item and use 'called' to introduce the name. This is clearer and grammatically natural.

× I find that so flavorful, especially when it's combined with meat and vegetables.

✓ I find it very flavorful, especially when it is cooked with meat and vegetables.

'Find that so flavorful' is colloquial and slightly off; use 'find it very flavorful'. 'Combined with' is acceptable but 'cooked with' is more natural for food preparation. Also avoid contractions in formal corrections if preferred.

× I consumed a lot of pizzas and some burgers.

✓ I ate a lot of pizza and some burgers.

'Pizzas' is acceptable but 'pizza' as a mass noun is more natural with 'a lot of'. 'Consumed' is formal and unnatural in this context; 'ate' is the normal past-tense verb for food. Use 'a lot of pizza' to indicate quantity in general.

× When I was a child, just like any other kid my age, I enjoyed junk food.

✓ When I was a child, like any other kid my age, I enjoyed junk food.

This sentence is mostly correct but 'just like' is redundant with 'when I was a child'. Simplifying to 'like any other kid my age' is more concise. Tense 'enjoyed' correctly uses past tense.

× However, as I grew older, I started appreciating homemade food more.

✓ However, as I grew older, I began to appreciate homemade food more.

'Started appreciating' is understandable but non-idiomatic. Use 'began to appreciate' for a natural past-tense expression.

× Yes, during winter I tend to eat soup and homemade food.

✓ Yes, during winter I tend to eat soup and homemade dishes.

'Homemade food' is acceptable but 'homemade dishes' is more natural when referring to meals. The present-tense 'tend to eat' is correct for habitual actions.

× However, in summer I like something more refreshing and maybe I do consume more junk food in summer.

✓ However, in summer I prefer things that are more refreshing, and I may eat more junk food then.

Use parallel structure and avoid repetition of 'in summer'. 'Maybe I do consume' is awkward; 'I may eat' is more natural for a habitual possibility. 'Things that are more refreshing' or 'refreshing foods' is clearer.

× Umm, that's a good question.

✓ Umm, that's a good question.

No grammatical error; sentence is appropriate as a conversational response.

× When I was younger, as I said before, I like pizzas and junk food in general.

✓ When I was younger, as I said before, I liked pizza and junk food in general.

The clause refers to the past ('When I was younger') so the verb should be past tense 'liked' not present 'like'. Use 'pizza' as mass noun for natural phrasing.

× However, as I grew older now I prefer homemade food, something more healthy.

✓ However, as I grew older, I now prefer homemade food, something healthier.

Combine past and present: 'as I grew older' (past clause) with 'I now prefer' (present) is acceptable but needs a comma. 'More healthy' is nonstandard; use comparative 'healthier'. Also 'homemade food' could be 'homemade meals' or 'homemade food' is fine.
