Part 1

Examiner

Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?

Candidate

Yeah, as a child, I had many opportunities to take part in as my school was very popular to offer these opportunities to young kids so they can find their true passion and they also provided many types of different classes to try new activities.

Examiner

Should people try as many different things as they can?

Candidate

Yeah, I'm a big believer that people should try as many different things as they can and should not be stuck between the things they already know. They should explore more that way they would be able to know if their passion lies out there somewhere.

Part 1

Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?

Score: 74.0

Suggestion: Make the answer more concise and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid redundancy, and add one specific example. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., "because", "so", "for example"). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: Yes. My school offered many extracurricular classes, so I had lots of chances to try new activities. For example, I took pottery and drama classes, which helped me discover an interest in performing. Because of those opportunities, I was able to explore different passions.

Should people try as many different things as they can?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: Provide a direct topic sentence, then give a clear reason and a short example. Fix some phrasing for naturalness (e.g., "stuck with" not "stuck between"). Use a linking word like "because" or "so" to show cause and effect. Keep it to 2–4 sentences.

Example: Yes, I think people should try many different things because it helps them discover new interests. For example, trying a short cooking course helped a friend realise she enjoyed food styling. So, exploring broadly increases the chance of finding a true passion.

Grammar

'11:Incorrect use of prepositions'

× 'as my school was very popular to offer these opportunities to young kids so they can find their true passion and they also provided many types of different classes to try new activities.'

✓ 'because my school was very willing to offer these opportunities to young children so they could find their true passions, and it also provided many different types of classes to try new activities.'

'Use of preposition "as" at the start is incorrect in this context; "because" expresses reason more clearly. "Popular to offer" is incorrect collocation; use "willing to offer" or "known for offering". "Young kids" is informal; use "young children." Match tense/mood: change "can" to past "could" to align with past narrative. Use singular/plural consistency: "true passions" or "their true passion(s)" and subject agreement: "it also provided" instead of "they also provided" to refer to the school.'

'26:Sentence structure errors'

× 'I had many opportunities to take part in as my school was very popular to offer these opportunities to young kids so they can find their true passion and they also provided many types of different classes to try new activities.'

✓ 'I had many opportunities to take part in activities because my school was known for offering them to young children so they could discover their true passions, and it also provided many different kinds of classes to try new activities.'

'The original sentence is run-on and repetitive. Combine clauses with connectors and avoid repeating "opportunities." Replace awkward phrases ("popular to offer") and ensure pronoun reference and tense consistency. Break into clearer segments: cause (because...), purpose (so they could...), and additional information (and it also provided...).'

'6:Present tense issue'

× 'They should explore more that way they would be able to know if their passion lies out there somewhere.'

✓ 'They should explore more; that way they would be able to find out if their passion lies out there somewhere.'

'"Be able to know" is awkward; use "be able to find out" or simply "know." Maintain modal consistency: "should explore" (advice) pairs with "would be able" (conditional result) which is acceptable, but wording improved for naturalness. Also prefer "find out" for discovering information.'

'13:Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs'

× 'they also provided many types of different classes to try new activities.'

✓ 'it also provided many different types of classes to try new activities.'

'"Many types of different classes" is redundant: "many different types of classes" or "many different classes." Also ensure subject "it" (the school) matches singular reference. Simplify adjective order for clarity.'
