Opportunities— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question more directly by beginning with “Yes, I did.” Avoid fillers such as “uh” and unnecessary repetition of “when I was wearing.” Use the correct plural form “VR glasses” and the natural phrase “an imaginary world.” Add one specific detail about the experience, such as how you felt or who you did it with.

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. When I was a child, I once tried a pair of VR glasses at a technology exhibition. They immersed me in a virtual world, where I played a game with my friends. I found it exciting because it felt like I was actually inside the game.

Sugerencia: State your opinion clearly and avoid saying that the statement is “too aggressive,” which sounds unnatural in this context; “too extreme” would be more appropriate. Correct the structure to “try new things to find out what interests them.” Develop your answer with a balanced qualification, a reason, and a specific example. Avoid fillers and the incomplete phrase “just feeling.”

Ejemplo: I think people should try a variety of new activities, although they do not have to try absolutely everything. By doing so, they can discover their interests and develop new skills. For example, someone who tries painting or cooking may find a hobby that helps them relax after work. However, they should choose activities that suit their personality and lifestyle.

× I remember once I put on a VR, uh, glasses ... when I was wearing that glass.

✓ I remember once I put on a pair of VR glasses ... when I was wearing those glasses.

Glasses are countable items that normally occur in the plural form. The singular word glass refers to one lens or a drinking container, so it is not appropriate here. Use a pair of VR glasses when introducing the item and those glasses when referring to it again.

× I put on a VR, uh, glasses.

✓ I put on a pair of VR glasses.

The phrase a VR glasses is incorrect because a cannot directly modify the plural noun glasses. Use a pair of before the plural noun, or say VR goggles.

× I think people should try more new things and to find out what interests them most.

✓ I think people should try more new things to find out what interests them most.

The infinitive phrase to find out expresses the purpose of trying new things. The conjunction and is unnecessary here. If and is used, both coordinated verbs should have a parallel structure: People should try new things and find out what interests them most.

× They could have the opportunity to enjoy their lives.

✓ They could have an opportunity to enjoy their lives.

Opportunity is a singular countable noun, so it needs an article. Use an because opportunity begins with a vowel sound.

× They could have the opportunity to, you know, enjoy their lives and just, uh, feeling.

✓ They could have the opportunity to, you know, enjoy their lives and just, uh, feel happy.

After to, use the base form of the verb. In this sentence, enjoy and feel are coordinated after to, so they must have parallel forms: to enjoy and feel. Feeling is an -ing form and does not fit this structure.
