Opportunities— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Make the answer more natural and structured: start with a clear topic sentence, add one or two specific supporting details (when, who, how often, what you learned), use appropriate tense consistently, avoid repetition, and limit to 3–4 sentences. Use linking words (for example, often, because) and vary vocabulary (enjoyed, practiced, nearby, learned tricks).

Exemplo: Yes. I tried skateboarding when I was about ten and I really enjoyed it. I practiced several times a week with a close friend at the park near my house, where we learned basic tricks and built confidence. Because I practiced regularly, I became quite comfortable on a board and kept skating for years.

Sugestão: Give a direct opinion statement, then support it with clear reasons and a brief example. Use formal contractions or standard forms (avoid 'gonna') and correct conditional phrasing. Keep it to 2–3 coherent sentences and include linking words (for example, because, therefore, however).

Exemplo: Yes, I believe people should try many different activities because it helps them discover interests and develop skills. For example, trying sports or music when young can reveal hidden talents and build confidence, so even if something feels difficult at first, it can be rewarding in the long run.

× Yeah, I have tried skateboarding when I was young.

✓ Yeah, I tried skateboarding when I was young.

The original mixes present perfect ('have tried') with a specific past time ('when I was young'), which is incorrect. Use simple past ('tried') for actions that happened at a definite time in the past. Suggestion: use simple past for completed past events with time expressions.

× I always went with my friend.

✓ I always went with my friends.

If the speaker implies going with more than one person repeatedly, use the plural 'friends'. If it was consistently one friend, keep 'my friend'. The surrounding context ('we went skating' plural) suggests multiple companions, so use 'friends' for consistency.

× We went skating at the park nearby my house and it's really fun.

✓ We went skating at the park near my house and it was really fun.

Use 'near' (not 'nearby') before a noun phrase like 'my house'. Also the event is in the past, so 'it was really fun' matches past tense. 'Nearby' is an adverb/adjective used without 'my house' following directly (e.g., 'the park nearby').

× I like it a lot.

✓ I liked it a lot.

The student is describing a past activity, so the simple past 'liked' should be used to maintain consistent past-tense narration. Use present only for general truths or current feelings.

× I think we are born to try lots of new things, even though you're not sure if you're not.

✓ I think we are born to try lots of new things, even if you're not sure.

The phrase 'even though you're not sure if you're not' is redundant and ungrammatical. Use 'even if you're not sure' to express uncertainty. Also 'are born to' is acceptable here as a general statement.

× You're gonna like it or not, just have to give it a try.

✓ You're going to like it or not; you just have to give it a try.

Replace informal 'gonna' with 'going to' in formal correction. Also add subject 'you' before 'just have' to form a full clause. Punctuation adjusted for clarity. 'You are going to like it or not' remains colloquial but grammatically 'you are going to like it or you won't' could be clearer.

× If you try it, probably love it right after.

✓ If you try it, you'll probably love it straight away.

The original lacks a subject and auxiliary verb in the result clause. Add 'you'll' (you will) and move 'probably' after the auxiliary for natural adverb placement. 'Straight away' or 'right after' are both acceptable; here 'straight away' sounds more natural.
