Opportunities— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly and use more accurate, natural vocabulary. Say “co-curricular activities” rather than “Co curricular activities,” and clarify the unclear phrase “Tibet and public speaking events,” which may be intended to mean “debates and public-speaking events.” Use the past tense consistently: “I had to prepare,” not “I have to prepare.” Avoid repetition such as “helped me a lot” after already explaining the benefit. Use a linking word such as “because” or “as a result” to connect the activity with its positive effect.

Ejemplo: Yes, I had several opportunities to take part in co-curricular activities as a child. I regularly joined debates and public-speaking events, which greatly boosted my confidence and improved my English. I had to prepare arguments and speak in front of an audience, so I became much more comfortable expressing my ideas.

Sugerencia: Give a clear opinion, but use natural expressions such as “different activities” instead of “dissimilar things.” Improve the grammar in “It will help to gain skills” by saying “This can help them develop skills.” Avoid repeating “make their life interesting” and correct the final example: a marathon is an event, not usually a sports club. Use parallel structures and a specific result to make the answer more effective, for example, “They could try hiking, learning to cook, or joining a running club.”

Ejemplo: Definitely. People should try a variety of activities because this helps them develop new skills and gain valuable experiences. For example, they could take up hiking, learn to cook, or join a running club. As a result, their lives can become more interesting and rewarding, and they may even discover a new passion.

× I regularly joined Tibet and public speaking events which greatly boosted my confidence and English 20 because I have to prepare arguments and speak in front of the audiences, so it really helped me a lot.

✓ I regularly joined debate and public-speaking events, which greatly boosted my confidence and English skills because I had to prepare arguments and speak in front of an audience, so they really helped me a lot.

The answer describes experiences in the past, so the verb have to should be changed to the past-tense form had to. The correction also uses they to refer to the plural events. In addition, an audience is the more natural expression when referring to people listening to a speech in general.

× It will help to gain skills and new experiences to make their life interesting and rewarding.

✓ It will help them gain skills and new experiences and make their lives interesting and rewarding.

The plural pronoun them refers to individuals, so the possessive noun should also be plural: lives, not life. After help, the structure help someone gain something is more natural than help to gain something when the people receiving the benefit are mentioned.

× They can try hiking, cooking or joining a Sports Club like marathon which make which will make their life interesting.

✓ They can try hiking, cooking, joining a sports club, or running a marathon, which will make their lives more interesting.

The original sentence contains a repeated and incomplete relative-clause structure: which make which will make. Use one clear clause, which will make. The activities are also listed in a parallel form, and lives agrees with the plural subject they.
