Opportunities— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the examiner's question directly instead of repeating it. Start with a clear response such as “Yes, I did” or “No, I didn’t,” and then add one or two specific details about the activity, when you did it, and how you felt about it. Use linking words such as “because,” “for example,” or “as a result” to make your answer coherent.

Example: Yes, I did. When I was about ten, I joined a swimming class at a local sports centre. At first, I was nervous because I couldn’t swim well, but I gradually became more confident and really enjoyed it.

Suggestion: Give your opinion directly rather than repeating the question. Support your view with a clear reason and a relevant example or result. You can use linking words such as “because,” “for instance,” and “however,” while keeping the response to about three or four natural sentences.

Example: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities because this helps them discover their interests and develop new skills. For instance, someone might try a sport and realise that they enjoy working in a team. However, they should not feel pressured to continue activities that they genuinely dislike.
