Score: 62.0Suggestion: Nên trả lời trực tiếp, mạch lạc và tránh tiếng “umm”/lặp từ. Câu chủ đề nên ngắn gọn (ví dụ: “Yes, I had many opportunities.”), sau đó nêu chi tiết cụ thể (tên hoạt động, mục đích, kết quả). Dùng liên từ như “for example”, “which helped” để nối ý. Chú ý ngữ pháp (eg. “provided me with various opportunities” thay vì “is provide me”). Giữ tối đa 3–4 câu rõ ràng.
Example: Yes, I had many opportunities at AU International School. For example, the school encouraged me to join international competitions in science and debating, which helped me improve my academic skills and confidence. These events also allowed me to meet students from different backgrounds and learn new perspectives.

× When I was a child, I was umm, I studied in AU International School.
✓ When I was a child, I studied at AU International School.
The verb 'studied' already expresses learning; remove the redundant 'I was'. Use the preposition 'at' with 'school' to indicate attendance. Also omit filler 'umm' in written form.
× So is provide me a various op opportunity which is relate with some international competition to show off my uh, to show off and improve my academic achieve, uh, academic achievement.
✓ So it provided me with various opportunities related to international competitions to show off and improve my academic achievements.
Use past tense 'provided' to match 'When I was a child' (past time). 'It' refers to the school; 'provide me' should be 'provided me with'. 'A various opportunity' is incorrect: use 'various opportunities' (plural) or 'a variety of opportunities'. 'Which is relate with' should be 'related to'. Use plural 'competitions' and 'academic achievements'. Remove fillers 'uh'.
× I would say yes, I think when we try something new as much as we can, it will open I mean it will broaden our knowledge and through each event it will invoke various opportunities for us.
✓ I would say yes. I think when we try new things as much as we can, it broadens our knowledge and, through each experience, it creates various opportunities for us.
Maintain consistent tense and form: use simple present 'broadens' to state a general truth instead of 'will broaden' after 'I think'. Use 'try new things' rather than 'try something new as much as we can'. 'Event' is better as 'experience'. 'Invoke' is incorrect in this context; 'create' is appropriate. Split into clearer sentences and remove filler 'I mean'.
