Opportunities— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Answer the question directly and use correct past-tense forms. Add an article in “a shy kid,” change “prefer” to “preferred,” and use “watched” instead of “watch.” Use a linking word such as “As a result” rather than beginning a sentence with “So,” and give one specific example of an activity you did not try.

예시: No, I did not have many opportunities to try new activities as a child. I was quite a shy kid, and my parents were usually busy after work, so I preferred to stay at home. As a result, I usually finished my homework and watched TV instead of joining clubs or trying sports.

제안: State your opinion more naturally and avoid repeating “persons.” Use “people” or “individuals,” and replace “want to try to do things” with “enjoy trying new things.” Explain why people may have different preferences and include a brief example or comparison to make the answer more developed.

예시: I think people should try different things, but they do not need to try everything. Exploring new activities can help them discover their interests and develop useful skills. However, some people prefer a stable routine because they feel more comfortable and confident that way.

× No, because when I was a child I was quite shy kid so I prefer to stay at home since my parents are also busy after work.

✓ No, because when I was a child, I was quite a shy kid, so I preferred to stay at home since my parents were also busy after work.

The singular countable noun kid requires the article a, so say a shy kid. Because the answer describes a situation in the past, prefer should be changed to the past tense preferred, and are should be changed to were. Use past tense consistently when describing childhood experiences.

× So I just finished my homework and watch TV.

✓ So I just finished my homework and watched TV.

The verbs finished and watched describe two completed activities in the past. The verbs connected by and should use the same tense, so watch must be changed to watched. When listing past actions, check that all coordinated verbs have the correct past-tense form.
