Opportunities— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: 질문에 직접 답하는 주제문이 필요하며, ‘Yes, I had an opportunity…’처럼 시제를 과거로 사용해야 합니다. ‘economy legislature contested’는 의미가 불분명하므로 활동을 정확히 설명해야 합니다. 또한 문장이 중간에 끝나지 않도록 활동, 준비 과정, 결과를 간단히 연결하세요. 예를 들어 ‘It was challenging, but I learned…’와 같은 구체적인 결과를 덧붙이면 답변의 자연스러움과 내용이 향상됩니다.

예시: Yes, I had the opportunity to take part in an economics debate contest when I was a child. I prepared for it by reading articles and practicing with my classmates. Although I didn’t win, I became more confident about speaking in front of others.

제안: 의견과 이유를 제시한 점은 좋지만, ‘people live once in a lifetime’보다는 ‘we only live once’가 더 자연스럽습니다. ‘actic sports’는 의미가 불분명하므로 ‘active sports’ 또는 구체적인 운동명을 사용하세요. ‘So’로만 연결하기보다 ‘For example’이나 ‘As a result’를 활용해 논리를 다양하게 연결하고, 새로운 경험의 구체적인 효과를 한 가지 덧붙이면 더 효과적입니다.

예시: Yes, definitely, because we only live once and trying new things helps us discover our interests. For example, someone might try hiking or learning a musical instrument and find a new passion. It can also make people more open-minded and confident.

× Yes I have an opportunity to testing my economy legislature contested.

✓ Yes, I had an opportunity to test my knowledge of economic legislation in a contest.

After the phrase an opportunity to, use the base form of the verb, not the -ing form. Therefore, testing should be test. The structure opportunity to test is grammatically correct.

× Yes I have an opportunity to testing my economy legislature contested. So I prepared that contest but really I don't have

✓ Yes, I had an opportunity to test my knowledge of economic legislation in a contest. I prepared for that contest, but, honestly, I did not have much experience.

The question asks about an opportunity the student had as a child, so the past tense is needed. Change have to had and do not have to did not have. Use prepared for a contest because prepare is followed by the preposition for when referring to preparation for an event.

× So I prepared that contest but really I don't have

✓ I prepared for that contest, but, honestly, I did not have much experience.

The verb prepare requires the preposition for before an event or activity. Therefore, prepared that contest should be prepared for that contest.

× So I prepared that contest but really I don't have

✓ I prepared for that contest, but, honestly, I did not have much experience.

The original sentence is incomplete because it ends with do not have without an object or complement. A complete sentence needs to state what the speaker did not have, such as much experience. The conjunction but should connect two complete ideas.

× Yes, I think so because people live once in a lifetime.

✓ Yes, I think so because people only live once in their lifetime.

The adverb only should be placed before the main verb live to clearly modify the idea of living once. Adding their makes the phrase in their lifetime grammatically complete and natural.
