    My favorite restaurant is a Chinese family restaurant. They serve dishes like, fried vegetables, noodles, dumplings, and fried rice. They are all very nice, but I like fried noodles with seafood the best.

     

    Excellent! Wow! I want to try some Chinese fried noodles right now. 美味しいそうだと思います!

    In English, we don't use the word "cuisine" in this case; we just say "Chinese restaurant." You could also say, "restaurant that serves Chinese food." (中国の食べ物を作るレストラン)

    Also, because "fried noodles" is a common noun, not a proper noun, we would say "I like fried noodles," not "I like a fried noodle."

    Thank you Jean-Claude for your corrections! I feel sorry, because I also write journals in English on Lang-8, they always point out same mistakes for me - a/the and common/proper nouns.

    I will be really careful. Thanks for your advice :-)

Tips for Good Reviews:

Be Specific
  • Give useful suggestions and examples.
  • Write more than just brief comments like “Good job” or “Needs work".
Make Corrections
  • Use the editing features to apply strikethrough, bold or different font colors.
  • Use the virtual keyboard to insert special characters in your reviews.
Teach by Example
  • Review a speaking exercise by recording your own audio comment.
  • Focus on correct pronunciation and speaking patterns.
