Opportunities— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Reduce hesitation and grammatical errors; give a clear topic sentence and specific supporting details. Start with a confident statement, use correct tense and singular/plural forms, and mention one or two concrete activities with brief details. Keep it natural and avoid filler words (uh, um).

Ví dụ: Yes. When I was in primary school I took part in several extracurricular activities. For example, I competed in regional spelling bees and math contests, which helped me develop confidence and problem-solving skills. I also joined the school choir for two years, where I learned teamwork and improved my public speaking.

Gợi ý: Be more concise and use linking words to structure your answer (firstly, for example, therefore). Replace vague statements with specific reasons and examples. Use correct phrasing ('as many different things as possible') and avoid repetition. Limit to 3–4 sentences for clarity.

Ví dụ: Yes, I believe people should try as many different things as possible. Firstly, new experiences broaden our skills and reveal hidden interests; for example, trying painting taught me patience and creativity. Therefore, experimenting with different activities can help people discover rewarding paths and improve personal growth.

× Yes, I had uh when I were in uh primary schools.

✓ Yes, I had, uh, when I was in primary school.

The verb 'were' does not agree with the singular subject 'I' in the past tense; the correct past tense singular form is 'was'. Also 'primary school' is usually singular when referring to the level of education. Suggestion: use 'I was' for first-person singular past and use 'primary school' for the institution or level.

× I participated lots of UH.

✓ I participated in lots of activities.

The phrase 'participated lots of' is ungrammatical: the verb 'participate' requires the preposition 'in' when followed by an object, and 'lots of' needs a plural noun such as 'activities'. Suggestion: use 'participated in lots of activities' or 'took part in many activities'.

× Uh, lots of tests as like, uh, competitions as in the outside and uh, many sites I uh, participated test.

✓ Lots of tests and competitions outside, and at many sites I participated in tests.

This sentence has several preposition errors: 'as like' is incorrect (use 'such as' or 'and'), 'as in the outside' should be 'outside', and 'participated test' needs the preposition 'in' ('participated in tests'). Also word order is confusing. Suggestion: reorganize to 'I took part in lots of tests and competitions outside and at many venues'.

× Yes, I think, uh, people should, uh, try many different things as they can because, uh, if we try, only we can get opportunities to go forward.

✓ Yes, I think people should try as many different things as they can because only if we try can we get opportunities to move forward.

Word order and modal/catenation usage are incorrect. Use 'should try as many...as they can' for the comparative structure. 'Only we can get' is unnatural; use 'only if we try can we' or 'we can only get' with correct placement of 'only'. Suggestion: place 'only' before the clause or use inversion after 'only if' for emphasis.

× So I think we need to try and try, then we can, uh, get better achievements and uh, we can get uh, new things to our, uh, life.

✓ So I think we need to keep trying; then we can achieve more and bring new things into our lives.

'Try and try' is informal and repetitive; use 'keep trying' or 'try repeatedly'. 'Get better achievements' is unnatural; use 'achieve more' or 'better results'. 'Get new things to our life' should be 'bring new things into our lives' — 'into' is the correct preposition and 'lives' should be plural when referring to people in general. Suggestion: use idiomatic phrases like 'keep trying', 'achieve more', and 'bring new things into our lives'.
