Opportunities— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence answering the question, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid hesitation sounds (uh, umm) and grammar errors (subject-verb agreement, word order). For example, say whether you had many or few opportunities, explain one reason with a concrete detail, and finish with a short result or feeling.

Ví dụ: I didn’t have many opportunities to try new activities as a child. For example, my family moved frequently because of my father’s job, so I couldn’t join long-term clubs at school. As a result, I mostly tried short-term activities like one-day workshops rather than continuing hobbies.

Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion first (yes/no/it depends) and then support it with specific reasons and examples using linking words. Correct grammar (subject-verb agreement, adjective forms) and reduce fillers. Aim for two supporting points and a brief conclusion to sound coherent and natural.

Ví dụ: I think it depends on the person’s goals and personality. On one hand, trying different things can help you discover interests and build skills quickly; for instance, a friend of mine discovered a passion for photography after sampling several hobbies. On the other hand, some people benefit from focus and depth, especially if they have a specific career goal.

× Actually, when I was a child, the opportunities that I had was a quite limited because in my childhood, uh, there was difficulties in my life owing to, umm, the orientation of my father who was.

✓ Actually, when I was a child, the opportunities that I had were quite limited because in my childhood there were difficulties in my life owing to my father's orientation.

Error type: singular vs plural and article use. 'Opportunities' is plural so the verb should be 'were' (subject-verb agreement; relates also to type 27 but listed here as type 1). 'Was a quite limited' is incorrect: remove 'a' and use 'quite limited'. 'There was difficulties' is wrong because 'difficulties' is plural, so use 'there were difficulties'. Also 'the orientation of my father who was' is incomplete and wordy; better 'my father's orientation.' Suggestion: match plural subjects with plural verbs, avoid unnecessary articles, and complete clauses. Use simpler, complete noun phrases such as 'my father's orientation.'

× It depends on the mindset and the attitude that any given, uh, person have.

✓ It depends on the mindset and attitude that any given person has.

Error: subject-verb agreement (type 27). The subject 'any given person' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' not 'have'. Also remove unnecessary 'the' before 'attitude' and filler words for clarity. Suggestion: identify the true subject and ensure the verb agrees in number; simplify the noun phrase to avoid errors.

× Some people, uh, tends to, uh, try anything, and some people are conversative so they don't like to.

✓ Some people tend to try anything, and some people are conservative so they don't like to.

Error: third person singular/plural mismatch and word choice. 'Some people' is plural, so use 'tend' not 'tends' (type 2). Also 'conversative' is not correct; the intended adjective is 'conservative'. Additionally 'try anything' is acceptable but could be 'try anything new'. Suggestion: ensure verb form matches plural subject and check spelling of adjectives; streamline by removing filler words.
