The student mixes past and present tenses incorrectly. The context asks about childhood (past), so verbs should be past: 'offer' -> 'offered', 'had tried' -> 'tried', 'enjoy' -> 'enjoyed', and add 'the' before 'beginning'. Also split into shorter sentences and add commas for clarity. Suggestion: keep all actions in past tense when talking about past experiences and use articles where needed.
× Yes, I think people should try different things because, uh, trying different things made you feel that what kind of personality you are, what kind of interest you have and for example, if you are doing cooking for the first time, you never know whether.
✓ Yes, I think people should try different things because trying new experiences can help you discover what kind of personality you have and what your interests are, and for example, if you try cooking for the first time, you never know what will happen.
The sentence mixes present and past inconsistently and has incomplete clause at the end. 'made you feel' should be present/modal: 'can help you discover' or 'help you feel' to match 'I think' and general truth. 'What kind of interest you have' -> 'what your interests are' for correct word order and plural. 'If you are doing cooking' is awkward; use 'if you try cooking'. The final clause 'you never know whether.' is incomplete; complete it to 'you never know what will happen.' Suggestion: keep consistent present/modal tense for general statements and complete clauses; use natural collocations like 'try cooking' and 'what your interests are'.
