Spoil (one's) appetite
Food poisoning
Story
Last week, Josh and I came back from our trip! We had so much fun. We were very lucky with the weather and the place was amazing! And the food! The food was mouthwatering! Well, for the most part… The thing is, normally, both Josh and I have a hearty breakfast to keep us full until lunchtime. But on one of the last days, we woke up pretty late. We had reservations at a restaurant at 12pm so we decided to simply have a light meal so it wouldn’t spoil our appetite. We started looking for a place to eat something quick in the area but we couldn’t find anything open. We looked for about 30 minutes when we finally found a little grocery shop . We went in and bought two sandwiches. Honestly, they didn’t look great and they tasted even worse but we ate them anyway. Well, I don’t know what was wrong with them, perhaps they were expired or something, but after a few hours both Josh and I started feeling really sick and really nauseous. We didn’t think it was anything serious at first but it kept getting worse and worse. In the end, we realized we had gotten food poisoning and couldn’t leave our hotel room for two full days! That was the worst!
It’s time to review the first episode. I wrote some examples.
1) On my last vacation, I have tried the Pizza Ala Pala, it has a mouthwatering smell.
2) I consider the lunch should be hearty, a hearty lunch is a source of energy and harmony.
3) Breakfast is necessary for your day, but a light breakfast helps me don’t feel stuffed at the beginning of the day.
4) Unless you spoil your appetite, you should have lunch.
5) If you don’t want to get food poisoning, you should keep food on a fridge and carefully choose it.
I also wonder, where did a couple travel? 😀
Well done, Dmitrii! I see lots of great language in these sentences! Bravo! 🤗💪 However, there are a few things that need to be changed a bit:
1. I tried (I am specifying when it happened so I have to use the Past Simple)
Usually you just say that something is mouthwatering, not the smell 😋
2. Just keep the second half of the sentence (P.S. I totally agree with you)
3. A light breakfast helps me not feel (you need an infinitive after the verb ‘help’)😉
4. Usually it’s food that spoils your appetite, so I would say something like ‘Don’t eat any snacks, otherwise it’s going to spoil your appetite and you won’t your lunch.’
5. The first part is great! 👏 Food IN the fridge and… Examine it carefully before eating it? Not sure if that’s what you meant by ‘choose’.
All in all, great job! 🤗💪😀
Thanks so much for your answer and corrections, Lara! 🤩 “Examine it carefully before eating it”, you are absolutely right. 😅👍
