Part 1
Examiner
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Candidate
I was quite introverted as a judge, so I really took part in new activities because I felt shy around grips. I sometimes went out and flew kites or I played with my pets and I enjoyed those quite simple moments.
Examiner
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Candidate
Absolutely, yes. I think individuals should do many things as they can because, uh, it can help them broaden their horizons and they can step out of their comfort zone.
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời có ý tưởng phù hợp và đưa ra ví dụ cụ thể như thả diều, chơi với thú cưng. Tuy nhiên, có một số lỗi dùng từ và logic: “as a judge” không phù hợp với ngữ cảnh, nên dùng “as a child”; “I really took part” mâu thuẫn với ý “felt shy”, nên sửa thành “I didn’t really take part”; “around grips” có thể là “around groups of people” hoặc “around strangers”. Em cũng nên mở đầu trực tiếp bằng câu trả lời rõ ràng, sau đó giải thích lý do và đưa ví dụ. Tránh lặp cấu trúc “I... I...” bằng cách sử dụng liên từ như “because”, “although” và “instead”.
Example: Not really. I was quite introverted as a child, so I felt shy about joining new activities, especially when I was around groups of people. Instead, I preferred simple activities such as flying kites outdoors or playing with my pets. Although these activities were not very adventurous, I really enjoyed spending time that way.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời trực tiếp, có quan điểm rõ ràng và sử dụng được các cụm từ tốt như “broaden their horizons” và “step out of their comfort zone”. Tuy nhiên, cấu trúc “do many things as they can” chưa chính xác; nên dùng “try as many different things as they can”. Em nên giảm từ đệm “uh”, tránh lặp “they can”, và bổ sung một ví dụ hoặc kết quả cụ thể để phát triển câu trả lời tự nhiên hơn. Có thể liên kết ý bằng “For example” hoặc “As a result”.
Example: Absolutely. I think people should try as many different things as they can because new experiences help them broaden their horizons and step out of their comfort zones. For example, learning a new skill or joining a sports club can help someone become more confident and meet different kinds of people.
× I think individuals should do many things as they can because, uh, it can help them broaden their horizons and they can step out of their comfort zone.
✓ I think individuals should do as many things as they can because it can help them broaden their horizons and they can step out of their comfort zones.
The quantifier many must follow the first as in the correlative structure as many...as. The second as introduces the comparison clause: as many things as they can. Comfort zones is plural because the subject individuals refers to more than one person. The filler uh was removed for a more natural and fluent answer.
