Should people try as many different things as they can?
Candidato
Yes, I strongly agree with that by trying many different things, you can see your hidden ability to do more good things. For example when I first tried to play the guitar at first I thought that it is quite difficult but once I practice it in that it's easy.
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Puntuación: 48.0Sugerencia: Answer the question directly and use a clear past-tense structure. “Memorizable” is unnatural here; use “memorable.” Avoid the long, confusing sentence and say “went camping” rather than “took me to the camping.” Use linking words such as “while” and “also” to organize the supporting details, and keep the answer to two or three concise sentences.
Ejemplo: Yes. One memorable activity I tried as a child was camping with my family. We had a barbecue and played board games together, so it was a really enjoyable experience.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Puntuación: 55.0Sugerencia: Give your opinion in a complete opening sentence, then explain one clear benefit and provide a specific example. Use natural expressions such as “discover hidden abilities” instead of “see your hidden ability to do more good things.” Avoid repeating “at first,” and maintain the past tense in the example: “I thought it was difficult, but after I practised, I found it easier.” Add punctuation or linking words such as “for example” and “however” to improve coherence.
Ejemplo: Yes, I strongly agree because trying different activities can help people discover abilities they did not know they had. For example, when I first played the guitar, I thought it would be very difficult. However, after practising regularly, I found it much easier and really enjoyed learning it.
× my most memorizable activity
✓ the most memorable activity
Memorizable means able to be memorized, while memorable means worth remembering. Use memorable to describe an enjoyable or important experience.
× my most memorizable activity when I had was when I was a child is once my family took me to the camping
✓ The most memorable activity I had as a child was when my family took me camping.
The original sentence contains several unnecessary and incorrectly ordered clauses. Use the clear structure The most memorable activity I had was... Also, say as a child instead of when I had was when I was a child.
× took me to the camping
✓ took me camping
After take someone, use the activity directly without to when referring to an activity such as camping. The natural expression is take someone camping.
× we are having a barbecue and also play the board game together
✓ we had a barbecue and also played board games together
The event happened in the past, so the verbs should be in the simple past: had and played. Played must also match the past-tense form of had.
× play the board game together
✓ played board games together
When describing the general activity of playing games, the plural form board games is more appropriate. The verb also needs the past-tense form played because the event happened in the past.
× Yes, I strongly agree with that by trying many different things, you can see your hidden ability to do more good things.
✓ Yes, I strongly agree with that because, by trying many different things, you can discover abilities that you did not know you had.
The original sentence incorrectly joins the expressions I agree with that and by trying many different things. Use because to introduce the reason, and set the by phrase off with commas. Discover abilities that you did not know you had is also a clearer grammatical expression.
× For example when I first tried to play the guitar at first I thought that it is quite difficult but once I practice it in that it's easy.
✓ For example, when I first tried to play the guitar, I thought it was quite difficult, but once I practiced, I found that it was easy.
The original sentence has repeated introductory expressions and an incomplete phrase, practice it in that. The corrected version uses a clear when clause, a main clause, and a but clause. Use commas to separate the clauses.
× I thought that it is quite difficult but once I practice it in that it's easy
✓ I thought it was quite difficult, but once I practiced, I found that it was easy.
The entire experience happened in the past, so use was instead of is, practiced instead of practice, and was instead of is in the final clause. The verb found also makes the result clear and complete.
