Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Be more concise and grammatically accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes, I did), then give precise details (what activity, age range, duration) and avoid self-questioning. Use correct tense and age expressions, and keep it to 2–3 sentences. For example, say “Yes, I played football from age thirteen to eighteen for six years.” If you feel the age might not be considered childhood, state it briefly: “although that is early adolescence rather than early childhood.”
Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I played football for six years, from age thirteen to eighteen, which was an important part of my teenage years.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Điểm: 50.0Gợi ý: Provide a clear opinion sentence, then give one or two concise, specific reasons with linking words.

× Yeah, yes, I had.
✓ Yes, I did.
The original uses 'had' incorrectly without an object; in this context the appropriate auxiliary for short answers about past experiences is 'did'. Use 'Yes, I did.' for a natural, grammatically correct response.
× When I was in child, I was playing football for six years from thirteen years old to eighteen years old, but I don't know if you think that thirteen years old is child or
✓ When I was a child, I played football for six years, from age thirteen to eighteen, but I'm not sure whether thirteen is considered a child or not.
Multiple issues: 'in child' is incorrect — use the noun phrase 'a child'. Continuous past 'was playing' is unnecessary when describing a habitual past activity; simple past 'played' is correct. 'Thirteen years old' should be 'age thirteen' or 'thirteen' and 'to eighteen years old' should be 'to eighteen'. 'I don't know if you think that' is wordy and awkward; 'I'm not sure whether' is clearer. The sentence was also incomplete, so finish with 'or not.' Suggestions: use 'a child', simple past for habitual actions, and concise phrasing for ages.
× Yeah, I think so trying trying many things going to be helpful and useful for their future.
✓ Yes, I think so. Trying many things will be helpful and useful for their future.
The original repeats 'trying' and mixes forms incorrectly. After 'I think so' a new sentence should start. Use gerund 'Trying many things' as the subject, and 'will be' for future result. Remove repetition and ensure correct verb form 'will be' for prediction. Suggestion: separate clauses into sentences and use 'will be' with gerund subject.
× So that's why I think the people the people should try as much should try things as much as possible.
✓ So that's why I think people should try as many different things as possible.
Redundant repetition 'the people the people' is incorrect. 'Try as much' is wrong when referring to countable activities; use 'as many different things' or 'as many activities'. 'As many different things as possible' is a natural quantifier phrase. Suggestion: remove redundancy and choose correct quantifier for countable nouns.
