Opportunities— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly in the first sentence, then add one specific example and its result. Use the past simple consistently because you are discussing childhood: “I took part,” not “I had taken part.” Also, “running activities” is slightly unnatural; say “running events” or “a school athletics club.” Replace “It helps me” with “It helped me,” and use “classmates” instead of “class fellows.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I had several opportunities to try new activities at school. For example, I took part in running events, which helped me stay fit and make friends with my classmates. I particularly enjoyed them because they gave me a break from regular lessons.

Gợi ý: Use the correct comparison structure “as many different things as they can.” Improve naturalness by saying “broaden their horizons” rather than “widen their horizon,” and “learn about unfamiliar subjects” rather than “get to know about different things they don’t know.” The second sentence repeats the same idea, so develop it with a specific benefit or example, such as discovering a talent or becoming more confident.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think people should try as many different things as they can. This helps them broaden their horizons and discover interests or talents they may not have known about. For instance, someone who tries volunteering, cooking, or a new sport might find an activity they really enjoy and become more confident.

× For example, I had taken part in running activities at my school.

✓ For example, I took part in running activities at my school.

The sentence describes a completed experience in the past. The past perfect form had taken is normally used to show that one past event happened before another past event. Since no earlier past event is mentioned, the simple past took is more appropriate.

× It helps me to connect with my friends and class fellows.

✓ It helped me to connect with my friends and classmates.

The student is describing the benefits of an activity they experienced as a child, so the verb should be in the simple past: helped. The present-tense form helps does not match the past-time context.

× Well, I think people should try many things as they can because it can help them widen their horizon and get to know about different things they do not know.

✓ Well, I think people should try as many things as they can because it can help them widen their horizon and get to know about different things they do not know.

The comparison structure requires as before the quantifier and as after it: as many things as they can. Use as many with countable plural nouns, such as things, when expressing the greatest possible number.
