Opportunities— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Answer the question directly with “Yes, I did” rather than “Yes, they did.” Correct “speak public” to “speak in public,” and avoid repeating “assembly” by combining the examples naturally. Use a clear linking word such as “Although” to show the contrast between feeling embarrassed and gaining confidence. The final clause should be grammatically accurate: say “the experience helped me improve” instead of “this such an experience that improved myself.”

Ejemplo: Yes, I did. When I was a child, I often had opportunities to speak in public, such as during school assemblies and sports events. Although I felt embarrassed at first, these experiences gradually improved my confidence and communication skills.

Sugerencia: Give a direct opinion and develop it with two clearly connected reasons. Replace “you get more experience” with the more natural “you gain experience,” and correct “disco is to help you” to “it helps you discover.” Keep the verb forms parallel by saying “what you really like or dislike.” Avoid fillers such as “umm” and use a specific example to make the answer more effective.

Ejemplo: Absolutely. People should try different activities because they can gain valuable experience and discover what they truly enjoy. For example, someone who tries volunteering, cooking, or playing a sport may find a talent or interest they never knew they had. Even if they dislike an activity, they learn more about themselves.

× Yes, they did.

✓ Yes, I did.

The subject of the question is you, and the student is referring to themself. Therefore, the pronoun I should be used instead of they.

× When I was a child I had chances to speak public a lot such as in assembly, school assembly or even in the sport events which I feel embarrassed at first, but this such an experience that improved myself.

✓ When I was a child, I had many chances to speak in public, such as at school assemblies or even at sports events. I felt embarrassed at first, but these experiences helped me improve.

The expression is speak in public, not speak public. The preposition at is more appropriate for events and assemblies in this context.

× When I was a child I had chances to speak public a lot such as in assembly, school assembly or even in the sport events which I feel embarrassed at first, but this such an experience that improved myself.

✓ When I was a child, I had many chances to speak in public, such as at school assemblies or even at sports events. I felt embarrassed at first, but these experiences helped me improve.

The student describes several activities, so the plural forms school assemblies, sports events, and these experiences are needed. A plural noun must be used when referring to more than one experience.

× When I was a child I had chances to speak public a lot such as in assembly, school assembly or even in the sport events which I feel embarrassed at first, but this such an experience that improved myself.

✓ When I was a child, I had many chances to speak in public, such as at school assemblies or even at sports events. I felt embarrassed at first, but these experiences helped me improve.

The original sentence contains several clauses joined incorrectly, especially this such an experience that improved myself. Separating the ideas into clear sentences improves the structure and makes the meaning grammatical.

× When I was a child I had chances to speak public a lot such as in assembly, school assembly or even in the sport events which I feel embarrassed at first, but this such an experience that improved myself.

✓ When I was a child, I had many chances to speak in public, such as at school assemblies or even at sports events. I felt embarrassed at first, but these experiences helped me improve.

The student is describing childhood experiences, so the past-tense form felt is required instead of the present-tense form feel.

× Absolutely, when you try different things you get more experience and you can umm disco is to help you to discover what you really liked or dislike.

✓ Absolutely. When you try different things, you get more experience, and you can discover what you really like or dislike.

A modal verb such as can must be followed by the base form of a verb. Therefore, can discover is correct; can disco is is not grammatical.

× Absolutely, when you try different things you get more experience and you can umm disco is to help you to discover what you really liked or dislike.

✓ Absolutely. When you try different things, you get more experience, and you can discover what you really like or dislike.

The phrase disco is to help you to discover is not a complete or correctly formed clause. The intended meaning can be expressed directly as you can discover.

× Absolutely, when you try different things you get more experience and you can umm disco is to help you to discover what you really liked or dislike.

✓ Absolutely. When you try different things, you get more experience, and you can discover what you really like or dislike.

The sentence expresses a general truth, so the present-tense forms like and dislike should be used. These verbs should also be parallel: like or dislike, not liked or dislike.
