Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Điểm: 45.0Gợi ý: Give a direct, grammatically correct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Correct errors (e.g., singular/plural, articles) and keep it concise (no more than 3–4 short sentences).
Ví dụ: Yes. My mother encouraged me to try many new activities when I was a child. For example, she signed me up for piano lessons and a weekend swimming class, which helped me become more confident and active.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Điểm: 30.0Gợi ý: Start with a clear opinion sentence, then give two specific reasons or examples using linking words (e.g., ‘because’, ‘for example’, ‘however’). Avoid repetition and incomplete sentences; use correct tense and pronouns. Keep it to 2–3 coherent sentences.
Ví dụ: Yes, I believe people should try many different things because it helps them discover their interests and develop new skills. For example, when I was a child I enjoyed cycling and playing cricket, which improved my fitness and teamwork.
× Yes when I was a child my mother encouraged all this new activities
✓ Yes, when I was a child my mother encouraged all these new activities.
The noun phrase 'this new activities' mixes singular demonstrative 'this' with plural noun 'activities'. Use plural demonstrative 'these' with plural noun. Also add commas for clarity: after 'Yes' and after the dependent clause 'when I was a child'. Suggestion: Use 'this' with singular nouns (this activity) and 'these' with plural nouns (these activities).
× Yes, many people think different because Because people do people very different things.
✓ Yes, many people think differently because people do very different things.
There are multiple issues: 'think different' should be the adverb 'differently' modifying the verb think (incorrect use of adjective/adverb). The word 'Because' is repeated and unnecessary (sentence structure error). 'People do people very different things' is ungrammatical; extra 'people' should be removed. Suggestion: Use 'think differently' and ensure only one conjunction 'because' is used, and remove redundant words to make a clear clause. Note: This correction addresses adverb use and sentence structure as listed in the allowed problem types.
× I think I was a child I like cycling playing cricket but
✓ When I was a child, I liked cycling and playing cricket.
The sentence mixes present tense 'I think' with past-time reference 'I was a child' and present 'I like'. For past habits use past tense 'liked'. The original also lacks conjunctions/punctuation and ends abruptly with 'but' without completion (sentence structure error). Suggestion: Use consistent past tense for past habits and include connecting words: 'When I was a child, I liked cycling and playing cricket.' If you want to contrast, complete the 'but' clause (for example: 'but I preferred cycling').
