My version
Since I binge-watched “Culinary Class Wars”, I was really eager to not only cook by myself but also eat out at a fancy resturant where is ownered by the cast chef.
I used to enjoy cook at home. But since I’ve been living alone, It’s really hard to take care of the ingredients also adjust the amount of the food. When I made a dish, a plenty of leftover should’ve been thrown away. After that, I just quit to cook at home and just go out to eat.
Eating out is much more convinient than cook at home. All you need is just money. It doesn’t demand your time and effort. You can just enjoy the dish. But for me, as a picky eater, sometimes eat-out food couldn’t satisfy me. I couldn’t combine the things what I want more. Whenever it happens, I really want to cook at home. Cause it’s quite funny process too.
At the end of the day, Unfortunately I always go out for my meal for now, but I would cook for myself if I could afford it.


Cooking at home vs. Eating out

Since I binge-watched “Culinary Class Wars,” I’ve been really eager not only to cook by myself but also to eat out at a fancy restaurant owned by one of the chefs on the show.

I used to enjoy cooking at home. But since I’ve been living alone, it’s been really hard to manage the ingredients and adjust the portion sizes. Whenever I made a dish, I ended up with a lot of leftovers that I had to throw away. After that, I just gave up cooking at home and started eating out.

Eating out is definitely more convenient than cooking at home. All you need is money—it doesn’t require your time or effort, and you can simply enjoy the food. But for me, as a picky eater, sometimes eating out doesn’t satisfy me. I can’t customize the meal exactly the way I want. Whenever that happens, I really feel like cooking at home again, because the process itself is quite enjoyable too.

At the end of the day, unfortunately, I still mostly go out for my meals, but I would cook for myself if I had the time and resources.

피드백:
1. 문법 및 표현 수정:

  • “where is ownered by the cast chef” → “owned by one of the chefs on the show”: “ownered”는 잘못된 형태이고, “the cast chef”도 좀 어색해서 자연스럽게 수정했어.
  • “enjoy cook at home” → “enjoy cooking at home”: “enjoy” 뒤에는 동명사 형태를 써야 해.
  • “It’s really hard to take care of the ingredients also adjust the amount of the food” → “it’s been really hard to manage the ingredients and adjust the portion sizes”: 더 자연스럽게 표현하기 위해 “take care of” 대신 “manage”를 사용했고, “also” 대신 “and”를 사용해 문장의 흐름을 부드럽게 했어.
  • “should’ve been thrown away” → “that I had to throw away”: “should’ve been thrown away”는 의미 전달이 좀 부자연스러워서 더 명확하게 표현했어.
  • “quit to cook at home” → “gave up cooking at home”: “quit” 뒤에는 동명사 형태를 쓰는 것이 자연스러워.
  • “convinient” → “convenient”: 철자 오류 수정.
  • “doesn’t demand your time and effort” → “doesn’t require your time or effort”: “require”가 더 자연스러운 동사야.
  • “Cause it’s quite funny process too” → “because the process itself is quite enjoyable too”: “Cause” 대신 “because”를 사용해 문법적으로 더 정확하게 했고, “funny” 대신 “enjoyable”을 사용해 의미를 더 명확하게 전달했어.

2. 문장 구조 개선:

  • 문장을 좀 더 간결하고 자연스럽게 이어서 의미 전달이 명확하도록 했어. 예를 들어 “After that, I just quit to cook at home and just go out to eat”을 “After that, I just gave up cooking at home and started eating out”으로 수정했어.
  • 마지막 문장에서 “if I could afford it” 대신 “if I had the time and resources”로 더 명확하게 표현했어, 왜냐하면 “afford”는 주로 금전적인 여유를 의미하기 때문에 문맥상 “시간과 자원”을 더 잘 표현하는 것이 적절해.
