Opportunities— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant and gives specific examples, which is good. To improve, remove filler words (e.g. “Uh”), correct minor grammar ("that opportunities" → "those opportunities"), and make the response slightly more concise and natural by adding a clear topic sentence followed by one or two supporting details. Also try to vary vocabulary (e.g. "enroll me in" instead of "take me to") and keep to under five sentences.

Example: Yes — I was fortunate that my mother enrolled me in many extracurricular activities as a child. For example, I attended dancing, art and English classes, and she encouraged me to try almost every program offered in our city. Those experiences helped me become more confident and curious.

Suggestion: Good structure: you answered directly and gave reasons. Improve by removing fillers, using smoother linking phrases (e.g. "However"), and refining phrasing and grammar ("in your 30s or 40s" not "in 30s or 40s"). You can add a brief recommendation or contrast to round off the answer. Keep it within four sentences and use varied vocabulary (e.g. "commitments" instead of "responsibilities").

Example: Yes, but it depends on a person’s circumstances. As a child, it’s easier to experiment with many activities, but in your 30s or 40s people often have work and family commitments that limit their time. Therefore, it’s better to try a few things and commit to those that suit your priorities.

× Uh, yes I did and I am very thankful to my mother for that opportunities.

✓ Uh, yes I did and I am very thankful to my mother for those opportunities.

The determiner 'that' is incorrect before the plural noun 'opportunities'. Use 'those' for plural nouns when referring to specific items. Suggestion: use 'those opportunities' or 'the opportunities'.

× But when you were in 30s or 40s and you have a lot of responsibilities, you don't have time to try out everything.

✓ But when you are in your 30s or 40s and you have a lot of responsibilities, you don't have time to try out everything.

Mixed tense and incorrect expression: 'were in 30s or 40s' mixes past with a general statement. Use present simple for general truths: 'when you are in your 30s or 40s'. Also include the possessive adjective 'your' before ages. Suggestion: use 'when you are in your 30s or 40s'.

× When my mother took me to those activities, I was a child.

✓ When my mother took me to those activities, I was a child.
