What kind of food did you like when you were young?

When I was young, I love eating noodles because that's basically what I can prepare and what I can independently do without the assistance of my parents. And also I love it with assorted fish, mint and added with a yogurt. That's what I love.

Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
考生
Of course, I do eat different food at different times of the year because some foods are very seasonal and you need to eat them while in season. Example of those further yam corn because it's reminds me that oh, we already in rainy season, we already in dry season. So these are the things that I enjoyed doing. Doing seasonal.

× My favorite food is pounded yam and I love pounded yam because it's my native food and I enjoy chatting, talking with my parents while they make this meal for me.
✓ My favorite food is pounded yam, and I love it because it's my native food; I enjoy chatting with my parents while they make this meal for me.
Pronoun repetition and clarity: the phrase 'I love pounded yam because it's my native food and I enjoy chatting, talking with my parents while they make this meal for me' repeats 'pounded yam' unnecessarily. Replacing the second occurrence with the pronoun 'it' makes the sentence clearer and avoids redundancy. Also remove the redundant 'chatting, talking' and keep a single verb 'chatting'. Suggestion: use pronouns to avoid repetition and choose one verb for clarity.
× So it's encompasses traditional effects on me and with the delicious egg, so that was added to it.
✓ It encompasses traditional significance for me, and delicious egg is often added to it.
Incorrect verb phrase and awkward structure: 'So it's encompasses' mixes contraction and verb form; correct is 'It encompasses'. 'Traditional effects on me' is unnatural; 'traditional significance for me' is clearer. Also 'with the delicious egg, so that was added to it' is passive/awkward; rewrite to 'delicious egg is often added to it'. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement and use natural collocations like 'traditional significance' and 'is added'.
× When I was young, I love eating noodles because that's basically what I can prepare and what I can independently do without the assistance of my parents.
✓ When I was young, I loved eating noodles because that was basically what I could prepare by myself without my parents' assistance.
Tense inconsistency: the sentence starts with 'When I was young' (past), but uses present tense 'I love' and modal 'can'. Change verbs to past: 'loved' and 'could' to match the time frame. Also use 'by myself' and 'my parents' assistance' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time expression; past situations should use past verbs.
× And also I love it with assorted fish, mint and added with a yogurt.
✓ I also loved it with assorted fish, mint, and a spoonful of yogurt.
Article and unnatural phrasing: 'added with a yogurt' is incorrect; use 'and a spoonful of yogurt' or 'with yogurt'. Also maintain past tense 'loved' to match previous sentence. 'Assorted fish, mint' needs proper conjunction and punctuation. Suggestion: use articles before countable nouns and natural expressions for portions (a spoonful of yogurt).
× Of course, I do eat different food at different times of the year because some foods are very seasonal and you need to eat them while in season.
✓ Of course, I eat different foods at different times of the year because some foods are very seasonal and you need to eat them when they are in season.
Number and tense: 'different food' should be plural 'different foods'. 'Do eat' is not wrong but unnecessary; simple present 'I eat' is better. 'while in season' is acceptable but 'when they are in season' is clearer and matches subject. Suggestion: use plural for countable nouns and prefer simple present for habitual actions.
× Example of those further yam corn because it's reminds me that oh, we already in rainy season, we already in dry season.
✓ For example, yams and corn remind me that we are already in the rainy or dry season.
Fragmented and incorrect grammar: 'Example of those further yam corn' is ungrammatical. 'it's reminds me' mixes subject and verb forms; should be 'remind me' or 'they remind me'. Also 'we already in rainy season' lacks the verb 'are'. Combine ideas: 'yams and corn remind me that we are already in the rainy or dry season.' Suggestion: form complete clauses with subject + verb, ensure verbs agree with subjects, and use parallel structure.
× So these are the things that I enjoyed doing. Doing seasonal.
✓ So these are the seasonal things I enjoy doing.
Fragment and tense mismatch: 'Doing seasonal' is a fragment. Also earlier 'enjoyed doing' (past) conflicts with continuous habit; use present 'enjoy' for habitual activities. Combine into a single sentence: 'these are the seasonal things I enjoy doing.' Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments and keep consistent tense for habitual actions.
× Yes of course my favorite food has changed.
✓ Yes, of course, my favorite food has changed.
Punctuation and clarity: grammatically this sentence is acceptable, but needs commas after 'Yes' and 'of course' for natural pacing. No tense change required. Suggestion: add commas to separate discourse markers for readability.
× Like I said before, I love noodle before and now I'm tilting towards liking rice and beans because I just love the touch of beans in my meal.
✓ Like I said before, I loved noodles before, and now I'm tilting toward rice and beans because I love the taste of beans in my meal.
Tense and noun form: 'I love noodle before' mixes present tense with past reference and 'noodle' should be plural 'noodles'. Use 'loved' for past and 'tilting toward' (American) or 'towards' (British) is fine. 'touch of beans' is awkward; 'taste of beans' is clearer. Suggestion: match tense with time markers and use correct noun forms and collocations.
× And this make me because basically now I can prepare it myself and I will go for everything that I want in the still to ask to compliment it.
✓ This appeals to me because now I can prepare it myself, and I can add whatever I want to complement it.
Ungrammatical and unclear phrasing: 'And this make me' should be 'This appeals to me' or 'This makes me happy' (subject-verb agreement). The rest is wordy and unclear: 'I will go for everything that I want in the still to ask to compliment it' likely means 'I can add whatever I want to complement it.' Use concise and clear phrasing and correct verb agreement. Suggestion: use subject-verb agreement, choose clear verbs like 'appeals to me' or 'makes me happy', and simplify to express the intended meaning.
