Opportunities— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Improve grammatical accuracy, clarity and coherence. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use correct tense (past) and avoid filler words (umm). Link ideas with simple connectors (for example, “because,” “so,” “and”). Also correct vocabulary (e.g. “take part in activities,” “interesting,” “encouraged”).

Example: Yes, I did sometimes take part in new activities as a child. My father worked for the government and was very active, so he often encouraged me to try sports like running and basic drills. Because of his encouragement, I occasionally practiced exercise with him, which helped me become more confident and physically fitter.

Suggestion: Make a clear direct opinion sentence first, then support it with two specific reasons connected by simple linking words. Correct grammar (use infinitives/gerunds correctly: “to try new things”), use plural/singular agreement, and avoid repeating phrases. Be concise (max 5 sentences).

Example: Yes, I think people should try as many different things as possible. Trying new activities helps you discover interests and learn useful skills, and it can prevent life from becoming monotonous. For example, taking up a hobby like cooking or a sport can improve your confidence and introduce you to new friends.

× As a child, I don't use it usually umm exercise much.

✓ As a child, I didn't usually exercise much.

The student is referring to past habits, so the past simple tense should be used ('didn't usually exercise') rather than present simple ('don't use'). Also 'use it' is unnecessary and incorrect here; remove it and place adverb 'usually' after the auxiliary for natural word order.

× As a child, I don't use it usually umm exercise much.

✓ As a child, I didn't usually exercise much.

The adverb 'usually' should modify the verb and is correctly placed after the auxiliary verb in past negative ('didn't usually exercise'). The original placement 'use it usually' is ungrammatical.

× But my father, he is a soldier or an officer, officer for government, he is very active and he would give me umm a jump.

✓ But my father was a soldier or a government officer; he was very active and would encourage me.

Pronoun repetition ('my father, he') is unnecessary in English; use either 'my father' or 'he'. Also tense should match past ('was'). 'Officer for government' is awkward; 'a government officer' is natural. 'Give me a jump' is incorrect idiom; likely meaning 'encourage me' or 'push me to try new things'.

× But my father, he is a soldier or an officer, officer for government, he is very active and he would give me umm a jump.

✓ But my father was a soldier or a government officer; he was very active and would encourage me.

Use articles 'a' before singular countable nouns ('a soldier', 'a government officer'). The original omitted 'a' before 'soldier' and duplicated 'officer' awkwardly.

× In my opinion it really good for you to try a new things as much as you can because it gives you an opportunity for you to tie something new and not something it will make your life boring if you not want to tie anything.

✓ In my opinion, it's really good for you to try new things as much as you can because it gives you the opportunity to try something new, and not trying will make your life boring if you don't want to try anything.

Multiple issues: 'it really good' needs the verb 'is' ('it's really good') — present tense. 'a new things' mixes singular article with plural noun; use 'new things' without 'a'. The verb 'tie' is incorrect and should be 'try'. 'It gives you an opportunity for you to try' is wordy; use 'gives you the opportunity to try'. Negation should use 'don't' and 'not trying' rather than 'it will make... if you not want'.

× In my opinion it really good for you to try a new things as much as you can because it gives you an opportunity for you to tie something new and not something it will make your life boring if you not want to tie anything.

✓ In my opinion, it's really good for you to try new things as much as you can because it gives you the opportunity to try something new, and not trying will make your life boring if you don't want to try anything.

The sentence describes a general opinion and consequence, so present simple is appropriate: 'it's really good', 'gives', 'try'. Ensure subject-verb forms are correct and verbs like 'try' are used instead of incorrect 'tie'.
