Opportunities— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Use the past tense because you are talking about your childhood: say “had” rather than “have.” Answer the question directly, and avoid repetition and unfinished phrases such as “like a Like.” Give one specific example of an activity and explain briefly what you learned or enjoyed about it.

例: Yes, I had several opportunities to try new activities when I was a child. For example, I took part in a school project where my classmates and I built a model volcano. I really enjoyed working as part of a team and being creative.

提案: State your opinion clearly and use the correct expression “try as many different things as they can,” not “different singers.” Also, avoid unnecessary words such as “the people.” Add a reason and, if possible, a specific example to make your answer more developed and convincing.

例: Yes, I think people should try as many different things as they can. This helps them discover their interests and develop new skills. For example, someone who tries photography, cooking, or a new sport may find a hobby they really enjoy.

✓ Yes, I had many opportunities to take part in new activities as a child, like making a project.

The phrase as a child refers to a finished period in the past, so the past-tense form had is needed instead of the present-tense form have. Use the past tense when describing experiences that happened during your childhood.

× Yes, I have many opportunities to take part in new activities as a child like a Like I'm making a project

✓ Yes, I had many opportunities to take part in new activities as a child, like making a project.

The phrase like a Like I'm making a project is not grammatically structured. After like, use a noun or a gerund phrase such as making a project. Avoid repeating words or starting an incomplete phrase.

× Yes, of course I think the people try many different singers as they can.

✓ Yes, of course. I think people should try as many different singers as they can.

The question asks what people should do, so the modal verb should is needed before try. Modal verbs are followed by the base form of the verb, as in should try.

× Yes, of course I think the people try many different singers as they can.

✓ Yes, of course. I think people should try as many different singers as they can.

The general noun people does not normally need the definite article the. Use people when referring to people in general; use the people only when referring to a specific group already identified.
