Food— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid filler sounds. Mention a reason beyond convenience (e.g. taste, variety) to enrich content.

Ví dụ: I really like noodles. They’re my favourite because they’re quick to cook and come in many flavours, so I can have a different meal every day.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct topic sentence, then give a specific reason and a brief example. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example' to connect ideas and avoid repeating generic statements.

Ví dụ: When I was young, I loved sugary drinks and sweets because they tasted better to me. For example, I often drank fizzy juice and ate candy after school.

Gợi ý: Be specific and eliminate hesitations. Give one or two clear examples of seasonal foods and explain briefly why you choose them (taste, freshness, tradition). Use a linking word like 'for instance' or 'in winter'.

Ví dụ: Yes. In summer I prefer fresh fruits like pineapple and watermelon because they’re refreshing, while in winter I eat more soups and stews to stay warm.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear comparison and a brief reason with linking words such as 'now' and 'when I was a child'. Be specific about what you eat now and why the change happened (health, taste, lifestyle). Remove fillers.

Ví dụ: Yes. When I was a child I preferred sugary snacks, but now I enjoy mildly spicy dishes like stir-fries and curries because they taste better to me and feel more satisfying.

× It is because it only takes 2 minutes to cook.

✓ It is because it only takes 2 minutes to cook it.

The original sentence omits an object after 'cook'. While 'to cook' can be intransitive, here the speaker refers to 'noodles' so adding 'it' (or 'them') clarifies and completes the verb phrase. Improve by including the object that the infinitive applies to; alternatively rephrase to 'because noodles only take 2 minutes to cook.'

× It is more convenient.

✓ They are more convenient.

The pronoun 'it' refers back to 'noodles', which is plural. Using singular 'it' causes a mismatch. Replace with plural pronoun 'they' to agree with 'noodles', or reword as 'Noodles are more convenient.'

× What kind of food did you like when you were young? -> When I was young I liked sugary drinks and foods the most.

✓ When I was young, I liked sugary drinks and foods the most.

The original sentence is mostly correct but is missing a comma after the introductory time clause 'When I was young'. Add the comma to mark the clause boundary and improve readability. The past tense 'liked' correctly matches the question's past-time frame.

× It is because it tastes better and children usually like it more than any other food.

✓ This is because they taste better, and children usually like them more than other foods.

The sentence uses singular 'it' to refer to plural 'sugary drinks and foods', causing pronoun-number mismatch. Replace with plural pronouns 'they' and 'them'. Also 'any other food' is awkward here; 'other foods' is more natural. Keep consistent plural reference.

× Yes, definitely, uh, during summer vacation, uh, I prefer uh, pineapples and other seasonal foods.

✓ Yes, definitely. During summer vacation I prefer pineapples and other seasonal foods.

This sentence is grammatically acceptable but contains filler hesitations and extra commas. For clarity, remove fillers and unnecessary commas; present simple 'prefer' appropriately expresses habitual preference.

× Umm, likewise in other umm, climates, uh, I prefer other sort of foods.

✓ Likewise, in other climates I prefer other sorts of foods.

The phrase 'other sort of foods' is ungrammatical: 'sort' should be plural 'sorts' when paired with 'other', and 'foods' is plural so use 'other sorts of foods' or better 'other kinds of food'. Also remove fillers and adjust comma placement. Alternatively: 'I prefer other kinds of food.'

× Yes, definitely. During my childhood days I used to uh, eat sugary drinks and food, but nowadays I prefer mild spicy foods.

✓ Yes, definitely. During my childhood I used to drink sugary drinks and eat sugary foods, but nowadays I prefer mildly spicy foods.

'Used to' is correct to describe past habitual actions, but 'eat sugary drinks' is incorrect collocation; drinks are drunk, not eaten. Separate the verbs: 'drink sugary drinks and eat sugary foods.' Also 'mild spicy foods' should be 'mildly spicy foods' (adverb modifying 'spicy') or 'mildly spiced foods.'

× I need more energy.

✓ I need more energy.

This sentence is grammatically correct and matches the present-tense explanation for the change in preference. No change needed.
