Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Score: 40.0Suggestion: Answer the question directly and avoid fillers such as “uh” and repeated words. Use the past simple consistently because you are describing a childhood experience: “When I was five, my mother enrolled me...” Clarify the unclear idea about your interest and explain the result with specific details, such as how swimming benefited you or whether you eventually enjoyed it. End with a complete sentence instead of stopping abruptly.
Example: Yes, when I was five, my mother enrolled me in a swimming class. At first, I wasn’t sure whether I would enjoy it, but I gradually became more confident in the water. I eventually developed a real interest in swimming and continued taking lessons for several years.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Score: 35.0Suggestion: State your opinion clearly in the first sentence and use accurate grammar: “People should try different things because...” Avoid the incorrect phrase “a new things” and the unclear expression “a new chance of a lifestyle.” Support your opinion with one or two specific benefits, such as discovering interests, developing skills, or becoming more adaptable. Use linking words such as “because,” “for example,” and “as a result,” while reducing hesitation and repetition.
Example: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities because this helps them discover their interests and develop new skills. For example, someone who tries a sport, a musical instrument, or a language may find a talent they did not know they had. It can also make people more adaptable and confident.
Do you like taking on new opportunities?
Score: 42.0Suggestion: Give a direct answer first, then connect your example more clearly to the question. The phrase “address examination” is unclear; use the correct term if you mean an entrance exam or a difficult school examination. Avoid changing between past and present unnecessarily, and say “I wanted to learn to play the piano.” Explain whether you eventually took this opportunity and how you felt about it.
Example: Yes, I enjoy taking on new opportunities because they help me learn and grow. For example, when I was a child in Iran, I studied hard for an important entrance exam. I also wanted to learn to play the piano, and I still hope to take lessons because it would be a creative and rewarding experience.
Do you often get new opportunities?
Score: 38.0Suggestion: Answer with a natural frequency expression, such as “I get new opportunities from time to time” or “I try to create new opportunities.” Correct the grammar in “I didn’t success” by saying “I wasn’t successful” or “I didn’t succeed.” Explain why you sometimes miss opportunities and provide a specific example or result. Avoid repeating the same words and organize the response with a contrast linker such as “although” or “however.”
Example: I get new opportunities from time to time, and I usually try to take advantage of them. However, I sometimes miss them because I lack confidence or do not prepare quickly enough. For example, I once had the chance to join a music course, but I delayed my decision and the places were filled. Since then, I have tried to make decisions more promptly.
× My mother enrolled me in swimming class.
✓ My mother enrolled me in a swimming class.
The singular countable noun class needs an article. Use a because the class is not specific or previously mentioned.
× She didn't know, really I get wanted or not.
✓ She didn't know whether I really wanted it or not.
The sentence needs the conjunction whether to introduce an indirect yes-or-no question. The subject and adverb must also be placed in the correct order: I really wanted it.
× But gradually I have grew up in this major.
✓ But gradually I grew interested in this sport.
The answer refers to a childhood experience, so the simple past is more appropriate. Grew is the past form of grow; have grew is incorrect. The phrase grew interested also gives the intended meaning more clearly.
× Trying a new things can prefer a new chance of a lifestyle to each people.
✓ Trying new things can provide each person with a new lifestyle.
Things must be plural because the speaker is referring to different activities. Person must be singular after each. Also, each person is the correct singular expression.
× Trying a new things I can, I can, can prefer a new chance of a lifestyle.
✓ Trying new things can provide people with new lifestyle choices.
After the modal verb can, use the base form of the verb without repeated modal verbs or unnecessary pronouns. The correct structure is can provide, not can prefer in this context.
× To each people and give a great opportunity for their lifestyle.
✓ To each person and give them great opportunities in life.
Each is followed by a singular countable noun, so people must become person. The pronoun them correctly refers to people, and opportunities is plural because people may receive more than one opportunity.
× I believe that trying a new things can provide a new chance of a lifestyle to each people and give a great opportunity for their lifestyle.
✓ I believe that trying new things can provide each person with new lifestyle choices and give them great opportunities in life.
The original sentence contains repeated and incomplete structures. The revised sentence uses a clear subject, two parallel verbs, and matching objects: can provide ... and give ... .
× I studied hard for address examination in Iran.
✓ I studied hard for an entrance examination in Iran.
A singular countable noun needs an article. Use an before entrance because entrance begins with a vowel sound. Entrance examination is also the appropriate noun phrase for this context.
× I wanted to learn, play the play the piano, playing the piano.
✓ I wanted to learn to play the piano.
After learn, use the infinitive structure learn to play. Do not use playing after learn in this sentence. The repeated words have also been removed.
× So I I now I wanted to learn it.
✓ So now I want to learn it.
The adverb now refers to the present, so use the present tense want rather than the past tense wanted. The repeated subject and pronoun have also been removed.
× I always try to to trying a new opportunity.
✓ I always try to take on new opportunities.
After try to, use the base form of a verb, not an -ing form. The correct pattern is try to take. The unnecessary repeated to has been removed.
× But sometimes I didn't success in it.
✓ But sometimes I don't succeed in it.
The answer describes what sometimes happens generally, so use the present tense don't succeed. Success is a noun; the verb form succeed is required after do not.
