Should people try as many different things as they can?
Candidato
I reckon they should, because even when you try new things, you can discover new sides of yourself and then the main point of living according to my opinion.
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Pontuação: 56.0Sugestão: Be more fluent and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, reduce hesitations, correct grammar (e.g., 'gymnastics class', 'music classes'), and give one or two specific examples with brief details about what you did or felt. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., 'for example', 'also'). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
Exemplo: Yes. I took part in several activities as a child. For example, I attended a gymnastics class for two years and also tried music classes where I learned basic piano. Although I enjoyed learning new skills, I wasn’t very passionate about any single activity at that time.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Begin with a direct opinion sentence, then give a specific reason and a brief example. Improve cohesion by using linking words (e.g., 'because', 'for example', 'as a result'). Avoid vague phrasing like 'the main point of living' — be precise about benefits (learning, self-discovery, opportunities). Keep it to 2–3 sentences.
Exemplo: Yes, I think people should try different things because it helps them discover new interests and skills. For example, I tried volunteering once and found I enjoy helping others, which led me to do more community work. As a result, trying new activities can open unexpected opportunities.
× I used to take part in many activities, uh, when I, I was in my childhood, I, I was going to gymnastic class, also trying musician classes, dancing and so on. But I can't say that I was keen on.
✓ I used to take part in many activities when I was a child: I went to gymnastics class, tried music classes, took dancing lessons, and so on. However, I can't say that I was keen on them.
Errors involve tense and sentence structure (IDs 6 and 26) and incorrect word forms (ID 13). 'When I was in my childhood' is unnatural; use 'when I was a child'. Mix of past progressive 'was going' and present tense 'I can't say' with past context is inconsistent; change to simple past to describe habitual past actions: 'I used to... I went... I tried... I took...'. 'Gymnastic class' should be 'gymnastics class'; 'musician classes' is incorrect — use 'music classes'; add object 'them' after 'keen on'. Also split into two clearer sentences or use a colon to separate list. Suggestion: keep past tense for past habits, use correct noun forms, and include pronoun objects where needed.
× I reckon they should, because even when you try new things, you can discover new sides of yourself and then the main point of living according to my opinion.
✓ I reckon they should, because when you try new things you can discover new sides of yourself, and in my opinion that is the main point of living.
Errors are sentence structure and word order (ID 26) and awkward phrase choice (ID 13). 'Even when' is acceptable but unnecessary; commas should be placed correctly. The phrase 'and then the main point of living according to my opinion' is ungrammatical and awkward — reorder to 'and in my opinion that is the main point of living.' Maintain present tense 'try' and 'can discover' for general statements. Suggestion: reorder clauses for clarity, place 'in my opinion' appropriately, and ensure each clause has a clear subject and verb.
