鐵齒的我不太相信什麼能量
最近
一堆狗屁倒灶的事情相繼發生
搞得我真的想放棄
都已經是最後關頭了
還出現這該死的負面能量
是該繼續讓這低迷的氛圍困擾著自己
還是該找個老師帶我上天堂呢

筆記_Speaking_Food
“...this could damage to human’s health...”
OR:
Note:
Human health is a phrase used to talk about the health of human beings in general as a species (i.e. human health and not the health of birds, plants etc). If you want to make a statement involving people but you don’t want it to be as formal and ‘scientific’ as this, remember you can use ‘a person’ or ‘an individual’ (“this could affect a person’s health”).
...........................................................................
“...governments can establish a really effective legislation...”
...........................................................................
“...[In terms of our diet in Taiwan,] I don’t think we have ranges or limits ...[because many other countries in South East Asia have a similarly diverse cuisine] ...”
OR:
...........................................................................
“...[at some restaurants,] the food you order is going to be load with fat ...”
OR:
...........................................................................
“...[I think Taiwanese people are well informed about what their diet contains, especially] if they have allergic ...”
OR:
“...if they have allergic ...”
OR:
“...if they have allergic ...”
OR:

...........................................................................
“...one part of the element ...”
OR:

“...the cooking of styles ...”
...........................................................................
“...[in terms of the increasing popularity of foreign dishes in my country,] people can accept this kind concept ...”
...........................................................................
“...In order to gain more benefit [in terms of profit and productivity,] numerous farmers are using chemicals ...”
...........................................................................
“...using insecticides, which can be very harmful for the human kinds ...”
...........................................................................
“...in Taiwan, it is difficult for the law to be against.”
...........................................................................
“...they can get more benefits [from this situation] ...”
OR:
...........................................................................
“...I think the single dish can’t [represent the cuisine of Taiwan] ...”
Note:
It is easy for ‘can’ and ‘can’t’ to sound the same to the listener in a speaking exam.
Using cannot instead of can’t ensures that you will be properly understood.
OR:
“...I think the single dish can’t[represent the cuisine of Taiwan] because it is too different ...”
...........................................................................
“...owing to different group living in this area ... [, an enormous range of different dishes are cooked] ...”
OR:
...........................................................................
“...I think foreign food is much healthy [than other food] ...”
...........................................................................
“...In my opinion, it’s vitally important for the government to legislate at food labelling ...”
OR:
...........................................................................
“...if we understand the contains in the food ...”
OR:
...........................................................................
“...Chinese food usually contain a lot of ingredients; therefore it could be nutritious ...”
...........................................................................
“...[this highly seasoned food often contains a lot of salt] which could cause a healthy problem ...”
