Should people try as many different things as they can?

I think people should try as many different things as they can. Some sports and help people to grow with their physical skills and other things help them to understand each other.
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Score: 42.0Suggestion: 「when Mani was a child」は「when I was a child」の誤りです。また、「horse lighting」ではなく「horse riding」を使います。最初に「Yes, I did.」と直接答え、その後に活動の効果や具体的な経験を説明すると、より自然で効果的です。「horse riding」を繰り返さず、「the activity」などの代名詞を使いましょう。さらに、「contributed to my physical development」のように、主語と動詞の形を正しくしてください。
Example: Yes, I did. When I was a child, I had the opportunity to try horse riding. I enjoyed learning how to control the horse, and the activity helped me become more physically active and confident.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: 意見は明確ですが、「Some sports and help people」は文法的に誤っているため、「Some activities help people develop their physical skills」としてください。「other things help them to understand each other」は、「other activities help people understand different perspectives」のように、より自然で具体的に表現できます。理由を示す際は「For example」や「In addition」を使うと、内容のつながりがよくなります。また、スポーツ以外の具体例を1つ加えると、語彙と内容の幅が広がります。
Example: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities whenever possible. Sports can help them develop physical skills, while activities such as volunteering can teach them how to communicate with different people. As a result, they may become more confident and open-minded.
× Yes, when Mani was a child I had the opportunity to horse lighting. It is a good thing for me because I could understand horses with horse lighting and also horseliding contribute to my physical growth.

The subject horse riding is a singular gerund phrase, so it requires the singular verb contributes in the present tense or contributed in the past tense. Because the student is describing a childhood experience, the past-tense form contributed is more appropriate. The expression horse lighting is not grammatically correct for this meaning; the standard expression is horse riding.
× Some sports and help people to grow with their physical skills and other things help them to understand each other.
✓ Some sports help people develop their physical skills, and other activities help them understand one another.
The word and incorrectly appears between the subject Some sports and the verb help. A sentence should have a clear subject–verb structure: Some sports help. Also, activities is a more suitable parallel subject than things in this context. The two ideas are joined correctly with a comma and and.
