Opportunities— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question more directly by saying what activity you tried and when. Improve natural phrasing: use “opportunities to develop my skills” instead of “opportunities in developing my skills,” “the chance to learn” instead of “had chance in learning,” and “understand mathematical concepts” instead of “understanding the mathematical concepts.” Add one specific detail about how learning abacus helped you, and avoid beginning with the slightly unnecessary phrase “Yes, of course.”

Example: Yes, I had the opportunity to try abacus classes when I was about eight years old. I enjoyed them because they made basic calculations more interesting and helped me develop my concentration. As a result, I became more confident when solving mathematical problems at school.

Suggestion: State your opinion clearly and avoid repetition and unnatural expressions. Replace “whenever we get chances and time” with “whenever they have the time and opportunity,” “take the advantage” with “take advantage of the opportunity,” and “go for go for it” with “give it a try.” Also, replace “It will have help in the holistic development of that individual” with a natural explanation such as “This can help people develop a wider range of skills and become more adaptable.” Include a specific example to make the answer more convincing.

Example: Yes, I think people should try different activities whenever they have the time and opportunity. Exploring new things can help them discover their interests and develop useful skills. For example, someone who joins a sports club and learns a musical instrument may become more confident, disciplined, and adaptable.

× As a child I had various opportunities in developing my skills.

✓ As a child, I had various opportunities to develop my skills.

The preposition to is used before a verb to show the purpose or opportunity to do something. Opportunities to develop is correct, whereas opportunities in developing is not natural in this context.

× I had chance in learning Abacus which eventually helped me in understanding the mathematical concepts better.

✓ I had a chance to learn the abacus, which eventually helped me understand mathematical concepts better.

The singular countable noun chance requires the indefinite article a. The common noun abacus normally takes the definite article the when referring to the instrument.

× I had chance in learning Abacus which eventually helped me in understanding the mathematical concepts better.

✓ I had a chance to learn the abacus, which eventually helped me understand mathematical concepts better.

Use to learn after chance to introduce the activity. The phrase chance in learning is not the appropriate prepositional pattern here.

× Yes, of course, whenever we get chances and time, 1 should take the advantage and just go for go for it.

✓ Yes, of course, whenever we have a chance and the time, we should take advantage of it and just go for it.

The fixed expression is take advantage of something, without the definite article the before advantage. The repeated phrase go for go for it should also appear only once.

× Yes, of course, whenever we get chances and time, 1 should take the advantage and just go for go for it.

✓ Yes, of course, whenever we have a chance and the time, we should take advantage of it and just go for it.

The pronoun I does not match the general subject people in the question. We is more appropriate for a general recommendation, and it correctly refers to the opportunity.

× Yes, of course, whenever we get chances and time, 1 should take the advantage and just go for go for it.

✓ Yes, of course, whenever we have a chance and the time, we should take advantage of it and just go for it.

The phrase go for go for it contains an unnecessary repetition and makes the sentence structurally incorrect. Use the complete expression go for it only once.

× It will have help in the holistic development of that individual.

✓ It will help with the holistic development of that individual.

After the modal verb will, use the base form of the verb. Therefore, use will help, not will have help. The phrase help with is also the natural prepositional pattern in this sentence.
