分數: 72.0建議: 回答较为直接,但有冗余表达和语法不够地道。建议:1) 开头直接给出主题句并简洁说明原因;2) 避免重复(例如“specific and unique”含义重复);3) 用更自然的词汇描述味道并补充一两点具体细节(如香料、口感或吃法)。练习时可控制在3-4句内。

× My favorite food is a traditional Chinese meal which is called the noodles with beef.
✓ My favorite food is a traditional Chinese meal called noodles with beef.
句中定冠词和从句结构不自然。英语中可用 "called + 名称" 简洁表达,且通常不加定冠词 "the" 在菜名之前(除非指特定一份)。建议使用简练结构:"a traditional Chinese meal called noodles with beef"。
× This kind of noodles is quite specific and unique, and what made it distinct is its taste.
✓ This kind of noodle is quite specific and unique, and what makes it distinct is its taste.
"This kind of" 后通常接单数名词或复数取决于意义;这里指一种面条种类,应用单数 "noodle"。另外时态和主谓一致,描述普遍特征用一般现在时,故将 "made" 改为 "makes"。建议记住:描述习惯/特性用一般现在时,"this kind of" 常接单数。
× It must be fried chickens because most of the children like some crispy things and fried chickens is a wonderful choice.
✓ It must be fried chicken because most children like crispy things and fried chicken is a wonderful choice.
这里不是必须(must)用法不自然,语境为陈述最爱,保留 "must be" 可接受但更常用结构是完整句子。更主要的问题是复数名词与不可数用法:菜名通常用不可数 "fried chicken" 而非复数 "fried chickens";同样 "most of the children" 可简化为 "most children","some crispy things" 可去掉不定代词。建议:食品名称通常用不可数形式,表示总体喜好用一般现在时。
× Also, the fried fries is also my favorite when I was young.
✓ Also, fried fries were my favorite when I was young.
"fries" 已为复数名词,谓语应使用过去时复数 "were"。句中还有重复的 "also" 可删减以提高表达自然度。注意过去时间状语 "when I was young" 要与过去时动词一致。
× I like this rubbish food.
✓ I liked this junk food.
语境为过去喜好,用过去时 "liked" 更合适;"rubbish" 作形容词修饰食品不常见,常用 "junk food" 表示垃圾食品。建议用固定搭配 "junk food" 并配合时态。
× Yes, for example in summer, because the day is hot, so as wet always after exercise.
✓ Yes, for example in summer, because the days are hot, I often get wet after exercise.
原句时态与数不一致且句子结构混乱。应使用一般现在时描述季节性事实:"the days are hot"(复数),并用 "I often get wet after exercise" 或 "I often sweat after exercise" 更自然。"so as wet always" 是错误结构。建议将意思拆成清晰主句和结果从句。
× So I really need to eat some salty stuff in order to take in some mineral salts, which is necessary for my metabolism.
✓ So I really need to eat some salty foods to take in minerals, which are necessary for my metabolism.
"eat ... in order to take in" 可以简化为 "eat ... to take in"。"salty stuff" 非正式且含糊,改为 "salty foods" 更规范。"mineral salts" 冗余,通常用复数 "minerals"。关系从句的先行词是复数,so 动词也应为复数 "are necessary"。建议用更准确的词汇并注意主谓一致。
× Yes, it indeed changed when I was young. I like junk food.
✓ Yes, it did change when I was young. I liked junk food.
谈及过去的改变应使用过去时:"did change" 或 "changed"。随后句子应与过去时间一致,故将 "I like" 改为过去时 "I liked"。注意时态一致性。
× However, nowadays I'm fond of biochemistry so I know how harmful the junk food is.
✓ However, nowadays I'm fond of biochemistry, so I know how harmful junk food is.
句子主要正确,但可以去掉定冠词 "the" 在泛指食品时不需要。"nowadays" 表示现在,用一般现在时恰当。建议把 "the junk food" 改为泛指的 "junk food"。
× So mostly I change my diet and eat in a more healthy way.
✓ So mostly I have changed my diet and eat in a healthier way.
语义是自过去到现在的变化,应该用现在完成时 "have changed" 表示变化的结果延续到现在。"more healthy" 用法不如副词或比较级 "healthier" 自然。建议用 "have changed" 和 "eat in a healthier way"。
× Like every morning I eat salad with orange juice.
✓ For example, every morning I eat a salad and drink orange juice.
句首用 "Like" 作举例口语化且不正式,改用 "For example" 更好。"eat salad with orange juice" 表达不清,应将两项并列为 "eat a salad and drink orange juice"。注意冠词 "a salad" 更自然。
