Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Be careful with grammar (tense and subject-verb agreement) and make the structure clearer: start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words.

× When I was a child, I always encourage myself to participate in new groups of friends in parks or even activities in school so yes I think I used to do that.
✓ When I was a child, I always encouraged myself to participate in new groups of friends in parks or even activities at school, so yes, I think I used to do that.
The original sentence mixes past time reference ('When I was a child', 'used to') with a present-tense verb 'encourage'. Use the past tense 'encouraged' to match the past timeframe. Also change the preposition 'in school' to 'at school' for natural usage and add commas for clarity. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent by matching actions to the past when describing childhood events. Grammar Problem Type ID: 6

The preposition 'in' is not the most natural choice before 'school' in this context; 'at school' is the usual collocation for activities that occur on the school premises. Also 'in parks' can remain but consider 'in the park' or 'at parks' depending on meaning. Suggestion: use 'at school' for school activities and ensure consistent prepositions for locations.

✓ Yes, they should. In my opinion, when you try something new, a new pathway in your brain starts to form, and this happens for smart people and for a successful person.
The clause 'a new pathway in your brain start to create' has incorrect verb form and word order for past/present general truth. For general statements use simple present with third person singular 'starts'. Use the verb 'form' rather than 'create' after 'start to' and 'this happens' instead of 'this makes happen'. Also the final phrase was awkward; 'and for a successful person' is made parallel. Suggestion: use simple present for general truths, use correct third-person singular verb forms, and choose natural verb collocations ('starts to form', 'this happens'). Grammar Problem Type ID: 6},{
