× I really love it because the texture and the socks are when I eat it.
✓ I really love it because of its texture and softness when I eat it.
The original sentence misuses 'socks' instead of 'softness' and lacks correct adjective/noun form. Use 'softness' (noun) to describe a quality. Also include 'of its' to show possession: 'because of its texture and softness.' This fixes the adjective/noun misuse and clarifies meaning.
× I feel very comforting and make me remind about my childhood.
✓ It makes me feel comforted and reminds me of my childhood.
The original has incorrect word order and verb forms. 'Feel very comforting' incorrectly uses an active structure; use passive adjective 'comforted' or 'feel comforted.' 'Make me remind about' is ungrammatical; use 'reminds me of.' The corrected sentence uses proper subject 'It' (referring to the food) and correct verb forms and preposition 'of.'
× When I was young I really love a sweat, especially like candy or chocolate cake because when I eat it I feel very happy and it cheer up myself.
✓ When I was young I really loved sweets, especially candy or chocolate cake, because when I ate them I felt very happy and they cheered me up.
Tense consistency: the question asks about past preferences, so use past tense verbs ('loved', 'ate', 'felt', 'cheered'). 'A sweat' is incorrect; use plural 'sweets'. 'It cheer up myself' is wrong: subject-verb agreement and reflexive pronoun misuse — use 'they cheered me up.' Also use 'them' to refer back to plural 'sweets.'
× Yes I do. In that holiday I often eat Chung cake to remind of this holiday because it's my traditional food in my country and I really love it.
✓ Yes I do. During that holiday I often eat Chung cake to remember the holiday because it's a traditional food in my country and I really love it.
Preposition 'in that holiday' is incorrect; use 'during that holiday.' 'To remind of this holiday' is wrong; use 'to remember the holiday' or 'to remind me of the holiday.' Also article use: 'a traditional food' is more natural. These changes fix preposition and article use and clarify meaning.
× Yes, when I was a child I really loved something sweet like candy and chocolate cake because they taste make me feel happy.
✓ Yes, when I was a child I really loved sweet things like candy and chocolate cake because their taste made me feel happy.
Tense consistency: refer to past with past tense verbs ('loved', 'made'). Original 'they taste make me feel happy' mixes present and incorrect verb forms. Use 'their taste made me feel happy' to correctly match plural subject and past tense.
× But when I become teenager I like fast food especially rice cake since they were quick to eat and popular with my friends.
✓ But when I became a teenager I liked fast food, especially rice cakes, since they were quick to eat and popular with my friends.
Tense and agreement: the timeframe is past, so use past tense 'became' and 'liked.' 'Rice cake' should be plural 'rice cakes' to match 'they were.' This corrects tense consistency and plural agreement.
