Should people try as many different things as they can?
Candidato
I think people should focus on just one thing at a time. So if they are learning a new skill, they should be focusing on just that skill. Improve to improve it. But if they try to do a lot of work at a time, they will get nothing out of it at the end.
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Pontuação: 55.0Sugestão: Answer the question directly and use clearer sentence structures. Replace incorrect phrases such as “organized our study toward to” with “went on a school trip to,” “a lot of activities” with “many activities,” and “we attend” with “we attended.” Avoid joining too many ideas with “and”; instead, use linking words such as “where,” “as a result,” and “which.” Also, give one or two specific examples of the activities to make your answer more natural and effective.
Exemplo: Yes, I did. When I was a child, I went on a school trip to a nearby hill station, where we took part in several activities, such as study circles and seminars. As a result, I improved my teamwork and public-speaking skills.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Pontuação: 65.0Sugestão: Your opinion is clear, but the answer contains repetition and an incomplete phrase: “Improve to improve it.” State your main idea once, then support it with a clear reason and, if possible, a brief example. Use “at the same time” rather than “at a time” when discussing several activities, and avoid the unnecessary repetition of “focus” and “skill.” You could also acknowledge the opposite view briefly to make your answer more balanced.
Exemplo: I don’t think people should try too many things at the same time. It is usually better to focus on one skill first because this allows them to make steady progress and develop it properly. For example, someone learning the piano may improve faster if they practise regularly instead of dividing their time among several hobbies.
× We organized our study toward to a nearby hill station.
✓ We organized a study trip to a nearby hill station.
The preposition toward is incorrect here, and it should not be followed by to. Use to to indicate the destination of a trip or journey.
× We organized lot of activities.
✓ We organized lots of activities.
The quantifier lot requires the article a when it is used before a noun. You can also use lots of, which is common in this context.
× We attend seminars.
✓ We attended seminars.
The student is describing childhood activities in the past, so the past-tense form attended is required instead of the present-tense form attend.
× Which helps me improve my teamwork and public speaking skills.
✓ These activities helped me improve my teamwork and public-speaking skills.
The activities happened in the past, so helped is more appropriate than helps. The subject These activities also makes the meaning clearer.
× We organized our study toward to a nearby hill station and where we organized lot of activities and we arranged study circles and we attend seminars and which helps me improve my teamwork and public speaking skills.
✓ Yes. When I was a child, we organized a study trip to a nearby hill station, where we took part in lots of activities, organized study circles, and attended seminars. These activities helped me improve my teamwork and public-speaking skills.
The original sentence uses and, where, and which repeatedly and incorrectly, creating an unclear chain of clauses. Use where to introduce information about the hill station, and use a separate sentence to explain how the activities helped you.
× Yes, when I was a child we organized our study toward to a nearby hill station and where we organized lot of activities and we arranged study circles and we attend seminars and which helps me improve my teamwork and public speaking skills.
✓ Yes. When I was a child, we organized a study trip to a nearby hill station, where we took part in lots of activities, organized study circles, and attended seminars. These activities helped me improve my teamwork and public-speaking skills.
The original sentence is a run-on sentence containing several ideas joined without clear structure. Divide it into complete sentences and use parallel verb forms: took part, organized, and attended.
× Improve to improve it.
✓ They should keep practicing to improve it.
Improve to improve it is not a complete sentence because it does not have a clear subject and finite verb. Adding They should keep practicing creates a complete and meaningful sentence.
× They should be focusing on just that skill.
✓ They should focus on just that skill.
After should, use the base form of the verb, focus. Should be focusing is grammatically possible in some contexts, but should focus is the clearer form for expressing advice about what people ought to do.
