Điểm: 48.0Gợi ý: Improve grammar and clarity: use correct tense and subject agreement, avoid filler words (uh, um), and make sentences concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Also correct vocabulary (e.g., "my own child" → "I"; "listen" unclear).
Ví dụ: Yes. I had many chances to try new activities at my primary school. For example, the school offered clubs such as painting and dancing, which gave me opportunities to explore different hobbies. As a result, I discovered that I enjoyed creative activities and learned new skills.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Điểm: 56.0Gợi ý: Work on sentence structure and linking: state your opinion clearly, then support it with a specific example and clear linking words (e.g., "for example", "because", "as a result"). Fix grammar ("I learned how to dancing" → "I learned to dance"; "Until now I benefited" → "I still benefit"). Keep to maximum five sentences and avoid redundancy.
Ví dụ: Yes, I think people should try different activities when possible because it helps them discover new interests and skills. For example, I learned to dance as a child, which not only kept me active but also provided a way to relax. Because of that experience, I still enjoy dancing and it remains a useful hobby for me.
× Yeah, my own child in my primary school have lots of opportunity to attend a new activities.
✓ Yes, when I was in primary school I had many opportunities to take part in new activities.
Multiple issues: subject and time reference were unclear ('my own child' is wrong) so sentence structure and meaning were incorrect (Type 26). Also singular/plural ('have lots of opportunity' -> 'had many opportunities') and tense consistency (past) needed fixing. Suggestion: clearly state the subject and past time frame, use past tense 'had', and use plural 'opportunities' and 'activities' to match count.
× For example, our school has many types of uh, clubs like the painting, dancing and listen and uh exercise, which may give me great opportunity to try and uh, new activity.
✓ For example, our school had many kinds of clubs, such as painting, dancing, music and sports, which gave me great opportunities to try new activities.
The original mixes tense and uses incorrect word forms and article usage (Type 13 and 6). 'Has' should be past 'had' to match context, 'types of clubs' is better as 'kinds of clubs', and listed items need correct noun forms ('listening' -> 'music' or 'listening' is awkward). 'Give me great opportunity' needs plural 'gave me great opportunities'. Suggestion: use consistent past tense, correct noun forms for activities, and plural forms where appropriate.
× Yeah, and I definitely will that people can should try different things if they have the time and opportunity.
✓ Yes, I definitely think that people should try different things if they have the time and opportunity.
The sentence contains incorrect modal/auxiliary structure (Type 4). 'Will that people can should' mixes modals and incorrect word order. Use 'think' to express opinion and 'should' as the modal for advice. Suggestion: use one modal verb and a reporting verb like 'think' to make the sentence grammatical.
× For example, when I was a child, I learned how to dancing.
✓ For example, when I was a child, I learned how to dance.
After 'learned how to' the base form of the verb should be used, not the -ing form (Type 8). 'Dancing' is incorrect here. Suggestion: use 'learned how to' + base verb 'dance'.
× So this actually not only helped me to spend the time meaningfully and do exercise, but also give me a great way to for relaxation.
✓ This not only helped me spend my time meaningfully and exercise, but also gave me a great way to relax.
Mixed tense and incorrect verb forms (Type 26). 'Helped me to spend' is acceptable but 'do exercise' should be 'exercise'; 'give' must be past 'gave' to match 'helped'; 'to for relaxation' is ungrammatical. Suggestion: keep verbs parallel and maintain past tense, use 'gave me a way to relax' or 'gave me great relaxation'.
× Until now I benefited from it.
✓ Even now I benefit from it.
Tense is incorrect (Type 6). 'Benefited' is past; the phrase 'until now' implies a result continuing to present, so present perfect or simple present fits better. 'Even now I benefit from it' or 'I have benefited from it until now' are acceptable. Suggestion: use present tense 'benefit' to show ongoing effect or present perfect 'have benefited' for continuity.
