Describe a picture of curry
写真を見て内容の説明をしてください
カレーはみなさんお好きですか？特に日本の子供たちには大人気の料理です。カレーの本場インドと日本のカレーは少し異なる部分があります。日本ではカレーは茶色でとろとろした液状の料理をイメージしますが、本場インドではスパイスを入れて煮込んだ料理がカレーのイメージであり、必ずしも茶色でとろとろしたものはイメージされません。みなさんご存じのとおり、日本ではカレー料理が発展し、様々な料理に応用されています。カレーうどんやカレーチャーハン、カレードリアなど、本当に多種多様です。食文化として興味深いカレーの写真を描写してみましょう。

Please describe this picture.

There is a curry rice plate on the table. It seems under the roux, rice is put. Some ingredients, such as chopped green vegetables, topped cheese, and maybe something like meat are included.

自然な表現

There is a curry rice plate on the table. It seems that under the roux, rice is placed. Some ingredients, such as chopped green vegetables, cheese topping, and maybe something like meat, are included

1. Add "that" to introduce the clause correctly. Use "placed" instead of "put" because "placed" is more formal and appropriate for describing the position of the rice.
2. Use "cheese topping" instead of "topped cheese" to make it clear that the cheese is used as a topping, which is a more natural expression. "Topping" functions as a noun describing the type of ingredient.
Yes it's a curry rice in a pan. Are you fond of eating this kind of recipe? Can we add other ingredients to it aside from the usual?

Yes, I like such food that seems and smells spicy.
We can add something light and healthy, including salad or pickles.

自然な表現

Yes, I like food that looks and smells spicy. We can add something light and healthy, including salad and pickles

1. Use "looks" instead of "seems" because "looks" is more specific and appropriate for describing the appearance of food. "Seems" is more general and doesn't fit as well in this context. Additionally, "such" is unnecessary here and can be removed to make the sentence more concise.
2. Use "and" instead of "or" because "salad" and "pickles" are both examples of light and healthy additions. "And" indicates that both can be added, not just one or the other.
Good. The idea of having cheese on top of it seemed new to me. Have you tried cooking it with cheese and extra chili powder?

Yes, I used to sprinkle some cheese on curry rice. It was nice, but it would be quite heavy for present myself.
Only chili powder would be nicer.

自然な表現

Yes, I used to sprinkle some cheese on curry rice. It was nice, but it would be quite heavy for me now. Only chili powder would be better.

1. Use "me now" instead of "present myself" because "me now" is a simpler and more natural way to refer to your current state. "Present myself" is awkward and not commonly used in this context.
2. "better" is a more appropriate comparative adjective for discussing an improvement or preference. "Nicer" is less precise in this context.
Honestly, I have not tried curry rice yet. I like chicken curry with lots of ginger to make it more hot. Have you gone to any Indian restaurant in Japan?

Yes, I have gone to Indian restaurants several times. But, recently not because of my gluten allergy.

自然な表現

Yes, I have gone to Indian restaurants several times, but recently, I have not gone because of my gluten allergy.

1. Combine the two sentences into one and use "but recently, I have not gone" to make the sentence grammatically correct and more fluent. "But" should not start a new sentence in this context, and "I have not gone" clearly indicates the action you are avoiding due to your allergy.
How do you like their curry rice? Is it the best? By the way how do you prevent your allergy from reoccurring? Any medicine prescribed to you?

Their curry rice was made from authentic spices so that the taste was extraordinary.
Regarding my allergy, I just avoided any food which contains gluten. I don't take any medicine instead.

自然な表現

Their curry rice was made from authentic spices, which is why the taste was extraordinary. Regarding my allergy, I just avoid any food that contains gluten. I don't take any medicine either.

1. It appears that a comma was missing here.
2. Use "which is why" to clarify the cause-and-effect relationship. "So that" is not appropriate here as it implies purpose rather than a reason.
3. Use the present tense here to indicate a general truth, not a past action.
4. Use "that" instead of "which" to introduce a restrictive clause. "That" is used for defining the specific type of food you are referring to.
5. Use "either" instead of "instead" because "either" is used to add a negative statement, matching the context of not taking medicine.
