× I would say my favorite food would be ice cream.
✓ I would say my favorite food is ice cream.
The original uses 'would be' twice which is unnecessary and awkward. Use simple present 'is' to state a general preference. Suggestion: use 'is' for facts or preferences (I would say my favorite food is ice cream).
× I see. I would see myself eat it all the time even though not a lot of people would consider it as real food.
✓ I guess I would eat it all the time even though not a lot of people consider it real food.
Problems: 'I see' is inappropriate here; 'I would see myself eat' is incorrect verb pattern. Use 'I would eat' or 'I would find myself eating' for habitual hypothetical actions. Also 'consider it as real food' should be 'consider it real food' (no 'as'). Suggestion: use 'I guess' or 'I suppose', and use 'consider it real food'.
× When I was young, I usually enjoy sweets, particularly chocolates, gummies, ice cream, anything that is sweet.
✓ When I was young, I usually enjoyed sweets, particularly chocolates, gummies, and ice cream, anything that was sweet.
The sentence mixes past time marker 'When I was young' with present tense 'enjoy'. Change verbs to past tense 'enjoyed' and 'was' for consistency. Also add 'and' before the last item in the list for clarity.
× Yes, For example, Christmas, we usually do our tradition that is called Nacho Buena where we have Ramon, which is sweet ham, we have cakes, we have meats, pastas and desserts where we eat it throughout the celebration until January.
✓ Yes. For example, at Christmas we usually observe a tradition called Noche Buena where we have jamon, which is sweet ham; we have cakes, meats, pastas, and desserts that we eat throughout the celebration until January.
Multiple issues: 'For example, Christmas' needs preposition 'at Christmas'. 'Do our tradition' should be 'observe a tradition' or 'celebrate a tradition'. 'Nacho Buena' is likely 'Noche Buena' and 'Ramon' should be 'jamon' or 'ham'. Use commas and semicolons to avoid run-on sentence; use 'that we eat' instead of 'where we eat'. Also include 'and' before last list item. Suggestion: use correct prepositions and clearer noun phrases.
× Yes, because when I was younger I really don't like spicy foods, but now that I'm older I like it very much and I enjoy eating food that are spicy.
✓ Yes, because when I was younger I really didn't like spicy food, but now that I'm older I like it very much and I enjoy eating spicy food.
Tense inconsistency: 'when I was younger' requires past tense 'didn't like' not 'don't like'. 'Spicy foods' can be 'spicy food' (uncountable) and later use 'spicy food' rather than 'food that are spicy' which has subject-verb disagreement. Suggestion: keep past tense for the past clause and use correct noun form and adjective order for the present clause.
