Food— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and avoid repeating the same idea about healthy food. Use a clear contrast with “although” or “however,” and correct the grammar in “I now I prefer.” Also, make sure the name of the traditional dish is pronounced clearly; if you mean “ghormeh sabzi,” say it accurately and briefly explain what it contains. Avoid saying “unhealthy for my body”; “unhealthy” or “high in fat” is more natural.

Ví dụ: My favourite food is ghormeh sabzi, a traditional Iranian stew made with herbs, beans and meat. Although I enjoy Italian food such as pizza and pasta, I prefer ghormeh sabzi because it is more nutritious and reminds me of home.

Gợi ý: State the type of food you liked as a child instead of saying “I enjoyed enjoying food.” Avoid restarting sentences and repeating modal verbs, as in “might they can.” Use a specific example, such as sweets, fast food or fried food, and then explain how your diet changed. Say “food that makes me feel good” rather than “something that can make my body feels good.”

Ví dụ: When I was young, I loved eating fast food, especially fried chicken and burgers. I did not think much about nutrition at that age, but now I try to eat more protein and vegetables because they give me more energy.

Gợi ý: The answer has a relevant example and a clear cultural explanation, but correct the opening to “Yes, we eat different dishes depending on the time of year.” Avoid repeating “special” and use a more precise phrase such as “religious festivals” or “family celebrations.” Link the ideas smoothly with “for example” and “in addition.”

Ví dụ: Yes, we eat different dishes depending on the time of year. For example, at the beginning of the year, my family eats fish, rice and vegetables because they symbolize prosperity and good luck. We also prepare traditional foods for religious festivals and other family celebrations.

Gợi ý: This is a relevant and fairly well-organized answer, but it repeats “more” and “less” several times. Give a direct comparison between your childhood diet and your current preferences, and use a concise list of examples. “As I’ve grown older” is more natural than “as I’ve grown up” in this context. Add a reason, such as wanting more energy or better health.

Ví dụ: Yes, my favourite food has changed since I was a child. I used to prefer junk food, especially burgers and fried snacks, but now I choose healthier meals with chicken, vegetables and less oil. I made this change because I want to feel more energetic and maintain a balanced diet.

× ...so I switch to a healthier option like my traditional dishes and I now I prefer gorme SAP disease more than any Italian food.

✓ ...so I switch to healthier options like my traditional dishes, and now I prefer gorme SAP disease more than any Italian food.

The sentence contains the repeated subject I in and I now I prefer. Remove the unnecessary second I and use healthier options because traditional dishes is plural.

× When I was younger I really enjoyed enjoying food...

✓ When I was younger, I really enjoyed eating food...

After enjoy, use a gerund with a different meaning, such as eating. The phrase enjoyed enjoying is grammatically possible but unnatural and does not express the intended meaning clearly.

× ...but as I've grown up I realized that they might they can be harmful for my body.

✓ ...but as I've grown up, I've realized that they can be harmful to my body.

The present perfect I've realized fits the time period from the past until now expressed by as I've grown up. Harmful is normally followed by the preposition to, not for.

× ...they might they can be harmful for my body.

✓ ...they can be harmful to my body.

Do not use two modal verbs together in this structure. Use one modal verb, such as can, followed by the base form of the verb: can be.

× So I changed my diet to a healthier 1 which is high in protein...

✓ So I changed my diet to a healthier one that is high in protein...

One replaces the singular noun diet and avoids repeating it. The word 1 is not a suitable pronoun in this sentence.

× Something that can make my body feels good.

✓ Something that can make my body feel good.

After the causative structure make + object, use the base form of the verb: make my body feel. Do not use the third-person singular form feels after make.

× Something that can make my body feels good.

✓ I prefer something that can make my body feel good.

As a standalone sentence, Something that can make my body feel good is only a noun phrase with a relative clause. Add a main clause, such as I prefer, to create a complete sentence.

× Yes, we do it different dishes depending on the time of the year.

✓ Yes, we eat different dishes depending on the time of year.

The verb do it does not correctly introduce the object different dishes. Use eat because the sentence describes consuming food. The natural expression is time of year without the article the.

× And we also have special dishes for another special for other special dates.

✓ We also have special dishes for other special dates.

The original sentence repeats and combines incomplete phrases: another special and other special dates. Use the complete noun phrase other special dates once.

× Yes, as I mentioned earlier, I used to eat junk food, but over the years as I've grown up, I switched to a healthier diet...

✓ Yes, as I mentioned earlier, I used to eat junk food, but over the years as I've grown up, I've switched to a healthier diet...

The time expression over the years and the phrase as I've grown up describe a change that has continued up to the present. Use the present perfect I've switched rather than the simple past I switched.

× ...with more protein, like more chicken, more vegetables and less fat and calories, less oil.

✓ ...with more protein, such as more chicken and vegetables, and less fat, fewer calories, and less oil.

Use fewer with countable plural nouns such as calories. Use less with uncountable nouns such as fat and oil. Also, such as introduces examples more naturally than like in this formal structure.
