Opportunities— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer more directly and add specific supporting details. The response repeats the wording of the question and does not explain which activities you tried or what you learned from them. Mention one or two activities and connect the details with a linking word such as “for example” or “because.”

例: Yes, I did. For example, I took swimming lessons and joined a school drama club when I was about ten. These activities helped me become more confident and make new friends.

提案: Give a clear reason and a specific example to develop your opinion. Avoid repeating the question, and remember that “things” must be plural after “different.” You could explain that trying new activities helps people discover their interests or develop useful skills.

例: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities, especially when they are young. By doing this, they can discover their interests and develop new skills. For instance, someone who tries painting or playing an instrument may find a talent they did not know they had.

× People should try as many different thing as they can.

✓ People should try as many different things as they can.

The quantifier phrase as many ... as refers to countable plural nouns. Therefore, thing must be changed to the plural form things. Remember to use a plural noun after many and as many as when referring to more than one countable item.
