Bagel

Hello, first time here!

Bagels look really fancy in bakeries.
I've never thought bagels were good before.
But I have only eaten a few times, maybe I haven't tried enough.
I think I should choose a good bakery, and try to eat them with something else, like cream cheese, instead of just on their own.
If after all the trying I still feel the same, then I guess I probably just don't like bagels.
Let those who like it enjoy it!

IDEA: You might like blueberry bagels with peanut butter or cranberry bagels with bananas.

Thank you for your corrections and bagel suggestions. I like how you make the sentences more logical. "Hedge the sentence" makes me feel like setting an abstract conditional scope. “hedge”在这里应该不是“对冲”,也许是“包围”。

Plural is more natural unless you’re writing about a specific bagel.

Hello, first time here!

Bagels look really fancy in bakeries.

I've never thought bagels were good before.

“Before” would imply that something has changed since the time “before,” like you’ve changed your mind.

But I have only eaten them a few times, so maybe I haven't tried enough.

You could merge this with the previous sentence:
I've never thought bagels were good, but I have only eaten them a few times, so maybe I haven't tried enough.

I think I should choose a good bakery, and try (to eat) them with something else, like cream cheese, instead of just on their own.

It would sound more natural without “to eat.”

If after all the trying I still feel the same, then I guess I probably just don't like bagels.

Welcome to LangCorrect!

Do you like any other kinds of bread?

In the US, there are basically two kinds of bagels: the kind that are boiled in water before baking, and the kind that are baked without any boiling. The former tend to be harder & chewier than the latter, and the latter tend to taste pretty much like regular bread. I prefer the former. But I like 饅頭 even better. :-)

Thank you for your corrections. I want to use English more naturally. I like English muffins, baguette and pizza.
I didn't know it could be boiled in water! It feels like a lot of experimentation with bread. So maybe you prefer a chewier texture.
Ha! It feels a bit strange for me to call 饅頭 bread.

> It feels a bit strange for me

I know what you mean, because we usually think of 饅頭 and 麵包 as two different things, and 麵包 is usually translated as “bread,” but in English, bread is a very broad category of foods. 饅頭 is in the “steamed bread” category. :-)

Yes, I suppose I do. :-)

Thank you for your corrections.

You have to add the "them" here, or else it sounds like you have only eaten a few time in your whole life :)

If after all the tryingtrying them like this I still feel the same, then I guess I probably just don't like bagels.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "all the trying", but it's not grammatically correct. I tried to suggest something that sounds natural to me

Bagels are plural so it needs to be "them" instead of "it".
