Opportunities— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and personal, but it is a bit long-winded and has some grammar issues. To improve: 1) Start with a clear topic sentence. 2) Use one or two supporting details with specific examples. 3) Correct tense and article use (e.g., "a cricket tournament", "which I really loved"). 4) Keep it within 2–4 sentences and use a linking word if needed. Focus on natural phrasing (e.g., “My parents encouraged me, so I joined local cricket tournaments.”).

Example: My parents encouraged me to try new activities when I was a child. For example, they signed me up for local cricket tournaments, and I loved playing as a bowler for my school team.

Suggestion: Your answer begins to address the question but is incomplete and repetitive. To improve: 1) Give a clear opinion in the first sentence. 2) Provide two concise reasons or examples linked logically (use linking words such as "because" or "however"). 3) Avoid repetition and finish the thought (explain why adults might be limited). 4) Use correct grammar and smoother phrasing (e.g., "they can try more things when they are young, but adults have time and financial constraints").

Example: I think people should try as many things as they can when they are young because it helps them discover interests and skills. However, as adults they may be limited by work and money, so they should choose activities that fit their time and goals.

× Yeah, as a child, I had plenty of opportunities as my parents were supportive and they always encouraged me to take part in sports activities and I used to take part in cricket tournament which I really love.

✓ Yeah, as a child, I had plenty of opportunities because my parents were supportive and they always encouraged me to take part in sports activities, and I used to take part in cricket tournaments which I really loved.

Multiple tense and number issues: 'because' is clearer than 'as' to show reason. 'cricket tournament' should be plural 'cricket tournaments' to match 'used to' habitual action. 'which I really love' should be past 'which I really loved' to keep past tense consistent with 'had' and 'used to'. Suggestions: keep tense consistent within the sentence, use plural for recurring events, and choose conjunctions that clearly express cause. Grammar problem type ID:5

× Yeah, it depends on the age and the individuals.

✓ Yeah, it depends on age and on the individual.

Awkward article and pluralization: 'the age' is unnecessary; 'age' in general is better without 'the'. 'the individuals' is unnatural here; use singular 'the individual' or 'on individuals'. Also simplify to 'depends on age and on the individual' for parallel structure. Suggestions: remove unnecessary articles and ensure parallel structure when listing factors. Grammar problem type ID:6

× People at certain age like people who are still children can afford to participate in every activity,

✓ People at a certain age, like children, can afford to participate in many activities,

Missing article: 'at certain age' should be 'at a certain age'. 'like people who are still children' is wordy; 'like children' is concise. 'every activity' is overstated; 'many activities' is more natural. Suggestions: include necessary articles, simplify phrases, and choose appropriate quantifiers. Grammar problem type ID:14

× but when we are grown up and when we need to have when we need to be financially fit,

✓ but when we grow up and need to be financially secure,

Redundant and ungrammatical repetition 'when we need to have when we need to be' creates a broken sentence. 'grown up' should be 'grow up' for conditional time clause. 'financially fit' is unnatural; 'financially secure' or 'financially stable' is correct. Suggestions: remove redundant phrases, use correct clause verb forms, and choose idiomatic collocations.
