× I have many favorite foods, but uh, if I have to show, I have a typhoon, which is, uh, seafood dish or Thai traditional food because I, I like the taste because I'm familiar with the taste and if, if.
✓ I have many favorite foods, but if I have to choose one, I would say 'tom yum', a Thai seafood dish, because I like the taste and I am familiar with it.
The original sentence has unclear structure, wrong word choice ('show' instead of 'choose', 'typhoon' instead of 'tom yum'), repetition and incomplete clauses. Improve by reorganizing into a clear conditional ('if I have to choose one'), using the correct dish name and noun phrase, and removing filler. Suggestion: plan the sentence before speaking, replace fillers and use accurate vocabulary.
× When I was younger, I think the food that I like is about the Korean BBQ or or Suki shabu which is which allow me to eat with my friends.
✓ When I was younger, I liked Korean BBQ or suki shabu because they allowed me to eat with my friends.
Article and tense issues: 'When I was younger' requires past tense 'liked'. 'the food that I like is about' is awkward and incorrect; use 'liked'. Use plural pronoun 'they' for countable dishes and past plural verb 'allowed'. Also removed duplicate 'or' and extra 'which is which'. Suggestion: use simple past for past habits and concise relative clauses.
× I and my friends usually go out to eat this food at the week.
✓ My friends and I usually went out to eat this food during the week.
Word order and preposition are wrong: 'I and my friends' should be 'My friends and I'. For past habit use past tense 'went'. 'at the week' is incorrect; use 'during the week' or 'on the weekend' depending on meaning. Suggestion: place others before yourself and choose correct time prepositions.
× I think mostly I eat food according to the food that are available in, in the, in the market, For example, uh, during the summer, we have first suggest to the young, but when the time fine.
✓ Mostly I eat according to what is available in the market. For example, during the summer we have seasonal produce that is fresh and tasty.
Original has repeated fillers, wrong agreement ('food that are' should be 'what is' or 'foods that are'), and an unclear second clause ('we have first suggest to the young' is meaningless). Rephrase to clear subject-verb agreement and coherent example. Suggestion: avoid fillers and state examples clearly.
× I think it's sharing a lot.
✓ I think my taste has changed a lot.
Sentence is unclear and uses present progressive wrongly. The intended meaning is change over time, so present perfect 'has changed' is appropriate. Suggestion: use 'has changed' to describe changes since childhood.
× When I was younger I pee.
✓ When I was younger, I preferred something different.
'I pee' is incorrect and likely mispronunciation of 'I preferred'. Use past tense 'preferred' to describe past preference. Suggestion: choose correct past-tense verb and avoid single-word unclear answers.
× I preferred to eat like BBQ BBQ food which is a buffet.
✓ I preferred to eat BBQ food, which was often served as a buffet.
Original repeats 'BBQ' and uses 'which is' when referring to past habit; use past tense 'was'. Also more natural phrasing is 'served as a buffet'. Suggestion: avoid repetition and match tense to the time frame.
× But when I grow up I prefer to to eat in the restaurant from a special chef.
✓ But as I grew up, I preferred to eat in restaurants prepared by specialist chefs.
Tense mismatch: talking about past change, so use past 'grew up' and 'preferred'. 'to to' is duplication; 'in the restaurant from a special chef' is unnatural—use 'in restaurants prepared by specialist chefs'. Suggestion: ensure past tense for past events and use natural prepositions ('in restaurants', 'prepared by').
