Should people try as many different things as they can?
Thí sinh
From my perspective, I think people should try as many different things as possible because life is about a new experience. Sometimes they will succeed and sometimes they will fail, but both outcomes help them learn and grow.

Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: أنت ترد مباشرة لكن تحتاج إلى تحسين القواعد والتماسك وتجنب التكرار. قلل الأخطاء الزمنية (استخدم الماضي)، وحسّن الربط بين الجمل، واذكر أمثلة محددة لتوضيح الفكرة. مثلاً بدلاً من جمل قصيرة ومنفصلة اجعل إجابتك مكونة من 2–4 جمل مترابطة مع استخدام كلمات ربط مثل “because”, “so”, أو “therefore”.
Ví dụ: I didn't have many opportunities to try new activities when I was a child because my school had no clubs and I was quite shy. As a result, I mostly stayed at home and did my homework instead of joining any groups. If there had been clubs, I would probably have tried art or music classes.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Điểm: 84.0Gợi ý: إجابتك جيدة ومنظمة وتحتوي على رأي واضح وأسباب. لتحسين الدرجة، أضف تفاصيل أكثر تحديدًا أو مثالًا واحدًا واقعيًا، واستخدم كلمات ربط إضافية لتقوية التماسك مثل “for example” أو “in addition”. تجنب العموميات واجعل الجمل متنوعة في البنية.
Ví dụ: I believe people should try as many different things as possible because new experiences broaden their perspective and skills. For example, learning a new language or volunteering can teach communication and teamwork skills. In addition, even failures are useful since they reveal weaknesses and motivate improvement.
× No, I don't have any chance.
✓ No, I didn't have any chances.
The question asks about childhood (past), so present tense 'don't have' is incorrect; use past tense 'didn't have'. Also 'chance' should be plural 'chances' to match general opportunity count. Suggestion: use past simple for past situations and pluralize when talking about opportunities in general.
× When I was young, because I was a bit shy and my school didn't have any clubs or classes to do any activities.
✓ When I was young, I was a bit shy, and my school didn't have clubs or classes for activities.
The original sentence has an unnecessary 'because' after the time clause causing a sentence fragment and awkward structure. Remove 'because' and combine clauses with 'and'. Use 'for activities' instead of 'to do any activities' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: avoid starting a clause with 'because' immediately after a time phrase; make a clear main clause.
× In addition, I stayed.
✓ In addition, I stayed at home.
The verb 'stayed' is fine in past tense, but the sentence is incomplete and vague without an object or location. Adding 'at home' completes the idea and matches previous context. Suggestion: ensure verbs have necessary complements.
× I just stayed at home and complete my homework.
✓ I just stayed at home and completed my homework.
The sentence mixes past tense 'stayed' with present simple 'complete'. Both actions occurred in the past, so the second verb must be past simple 'completed' to match tense. Suggestion: keep consistent tense within a sentence describing past events.
× From my perspective, I think people should try as many different things as possible because life is about a new experience.
✓ From my perspective, I think people should try as many different things as possible because life is about new experiences.
The phrase 'a new experience' is singular and generic; using plural 'new experiences' fits general statement. Also 'about new experiences' is more natural. Suggestion: use plural when making generalizations about repeated or multiple occurrences.
× Sometimes they will succeed and sometimes they will fail, but both outcomes help them learn and grow.
✓ Sometimes they succeed and sometimes they fail, but both outcomes help them learn and grow.
Using 'will' is not necessary for general statements; present simple ('succeed/fail') expresses general truths more naturally. 'Help them learn and grow' is correct present simple. Suggestion: use present simple for habitual or general facts.
