× Especially enjoyed it at my family gatherings because it the aroma always reminds me of special occasion.
✓ I especially enjoy it at my family gatherings because the aroma always reminds me of special occasions.
The sentence has pronoun and article issues and incorrect verb form. 'Especially enjoyed it' lacks a subject and correct tense; use 'I especially enjoy it' to match present habitual action. 'Because it the aroma' has an extra pronoun 'it' and needs the definite article 'the' before 'aroma'. 'Special occasion' should be plural 'special occasions' to match habitual events. Suggestion: include the subject, use present simple for habitual actions, remove extra pronoun, and pluralize when referring to repeated events.
× The food I like when I was young is probably more most cause it's quite small easy to have.
✓ The food I liked when I was young was probably simpler and easier to have.
This sentence mixes present and past tenses and uses incorrect words ('more most', 'small easy'). Use past tense 'liked' to match 'when I was young'. Replace awkward phrasing with 'simpler' and 'easier' to convey meaning. Suggestion: keep consistent past tense and choose appropriate comparative/adjective forms.
× Also it come there is a feeling of chickens inside it which I really love.
✓ Also, it has pieces of chicken in it, which I really love.
The original has incorrect verb and pronoun usage: 'it come there is a feeling of chickens inside it' is ungrammatical. Use 'it has' to describe contents, and 'pieces of chicken' is clearer than 'a feeling of chickens'. Suggestion: use 'has' for possession and clear noun phrases for ingredients.
× Also I love the sauce that it comes with more more.
✓ Also, I love the sauce it comes with very much.
Repeating 'more more' is incorrect and redundant. Use an adverbial phrase 'very much' to express strong liking. Also remove unnecessary pronoun 'that'. Suggestion: use concise adverbial intensifiers and avoid repetition.
× Well, that's an obvious question that I really do a different foods at different times of the year.
✓ Well, that's an obvious question; I do eat different foods at different times of the year.
The original has word order and article problems: 'I really do a different foods' mixes singular article 'a' with plural 'foods' and has awkward placement of 'really'. Use 'I do eat' for emphasis and correct plural 'foods'. Suggestion: ensure article-number agreement and natural adverb placement.
× At the starting of the month, uh, I enjoy kind of summer.
✓ At the start of the month, I enjoy summery foods.
'At the starting of the month' is unnatural; use 'at the start of the month'. 'I enjoy kind of summer' is incomplete — likely means 'summery foods' or 'summer flavors'. Suggestion: use natural time expressions and complete noun phrases.
× In middle, I enjoy summer foods, whereas in winter I prefer soup or warm that makes me warm in December, January.
✓ In the middle of the month, I enjoy summer foods, whereas in winter I prefer soup or other warm dishes that keep me warm in December and January.
Time phrase 'In middle' should be 'In the middle of the month'. 'Prefer soup or warm' is missing a noun after 'warm' — use 'warm dishes'. 'That makes me warm' is okay but better as 'that keep me warm'. Also add conjunction 'and' between months. Suggestion: complete noun phrases, use correct time prepositions, and ensure verbs agree with plural subjects.
× What I believe as a child and as adult are we evolve and according to it, our tongue test word also changes.
✓ What I believe is that as a child and as an adult we evolve, and accordingly our taste preferences also change.
This sentence has subject-verb agreement and word choice issues. 'What I believe as a child and as adult are we evolve' is ungrammatical; use 'What I believe is that...' and 'as an adult' requires article 'an'. 'According to it' is awkward; 'accordingly' or 'as a result' is better. 'Tongue test word' is incorrect — use 'taste preferences'. Suggestion: use a cleft structure 'What I believe is that...', include necessary articles, and choose correct collocations.
× So I think yes, my favorite food has changed, as in when I was little it was normal, but now I prefer meat over anything else.
✓ So I think, yes, my favorite food has changed; when I was little it was simple, but now I prefer meat over anything else.
The phrase 'it was normal' is vague; 'simple' better conveys earlier sentence about simple foods. Tense usage 'has changed' is correct for a change from past to present. Suggestion: choose clearer adjective to match context and keep punctuation for clarity.
