Opportunities— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, fix tense errors, and add one specific example to make your answer richer. Use a linking word to connect the general statement to the example.

Exemplo: Yes — I had many chances to try new activities as a child. For example, my school ran weekly clubs such as drama and science club, so I joined the drama club for two years and performed in three school plays. As a result, I became more confident speaking in public.

Sugestão: Make the response more fluent and grammatically correct. Begin with a direct opinion, give two concise reasons linked with linking words (e.g., because, therefore), and include a brief personal or hypothetical example to illustrate your point.

Exemplo: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities because it helps them discover their interests and develop new skills. For instance, by trying painting and coding, someone might find they enjoy creative design or problem-solving, which could influence their career choices.

× I am really lucky that I have given a lot of opportunities when I was growing up.

✓ I am really lucky that I was given a lot of opportunities when I was growing up.

The original uses 'have given' (present perfect active) but the student is the recipient of opportunities, so the passive past participle 'was given' is required to show that opportunities were given to them in the past. Also the time phrase 'when I was growing up' places the action in the past, so simple past passive is appropriate. Suggestion: use passive voice with past tense ('was given') for past events where the subject received something.

× We have these programs and activities that encourages this, that encourage the students to be involved in.

✓ We had programs and activities that encouraged students to get involved.

There are several issues: mismatch of tense (student refers to past), subject-verb agreement ('programs and activities' plural requires 'encouraged' not 'encourages'), unnecessary demonstratives ('these' and 'this, that') and awkward phrasing 'be involved in.' I corrected to past tense plural subject with plural verb 'encouraged' and simplified object to 'students to get involved.' Suggestion: match plural subjects with plural verbs and keep tense consistent.

× Yes, I believe that people should try many different things as they can, because this open opportunities for them to try and for them to know what they really like to do.

✓ Yes, I believe that people should try as many different things as they can, because this opens up opportunities for them to try things and to discover what they really like to do.

Errors: word order in 'many different things as they can' should be 'as many different things as they can' (comparison structure); subject-verb agreement 'this open' should be 'this opens up'; infinitive and parallelism issues ('to try and for them to know' is awkward). I corrected modal phrase ordering, verb agreement, added 'up' to 'opens up' (common collocation), and used parallel infinitives 'to try things and to discover.' Suggestion: use 'as many...as' for quantity comparisons, ensure subject and verb agree, and keep parallel structure in coordinated infinitives.

× Most of these opportunities came from my school when I was still studying.

✓ Most of these opportunities came from my school when I was studying.

Phrase 'when I was still studying' is not grammatically wrong but 'still' is unnecessary and slightly informal here; corrected to a cleaner past continuous 'when I was studying' to match 'came' (past). If keeping 'still' is desired, ensure placement: 'when I was still a student' is an alternative. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and use concise phrasing.
