Opportunities— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant and includes a clear example, but some expressions are unnatural and repetitive. Say “I had many opportunities” instead of “I had many opportunities available,” and use “I chose to play badminton” rather than “I chose participating in Badminton.” The phrase “there was a lot of interest going on in that field” is awkward; explain more specifically why you chose badminton, such as its popularity or the chance to play with friends. Use a linking word such as “because” or “also” to connect your ideas smoothly.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had several opportunities to try new activities at school, such as learning a foreign language and playing sports. I chose to play badminton because it was very popular among my classmates. Also, I enjoyed the chance to exercise and compete with my friends.

Gợi ý: You express a clear opinion, but “try on different opportunities” is incorrect; say “try different activities” or “take advantage of different opportunities.” The phrase “multiple different tasks” is repetitive, and “how one is supposed to tackle them” sounds overly general and unnatural. Give one or two specific benefits, such as discovering personal interests, developing practical skills, or becoming more adaptable. Avoid repeating “opportunities” in the final sentence and connect your ideas more naturally with “because” or “for example.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities whenever possible. This helps them discover their interests and develop useful skills, while also making them more adaptable. For example, someone who tries a sport, a musical instrument, and volunteering may discover a talent or passion they did not know they had.

× I chose participating in Badminton because it was a very popular sport at that time and there was a lot of interest going on in that field.

✓ I chose to participate in badminton because it was a very popular sport at that time, and there was a lot of interest in it.

The verb choose is normally followed by a to-infinitive when it refers to making a decision: choose to do something. It is not normally followed directly by a gerund in this structure. Also, badminton is a common noun and should not be capitalized. The phrase interest going on in that field is unnatural; interest in it is clearer and more natural.

× Definitely people should try on different opportunities because it gives them exposure to multiple different tasks and how one is supposed to tackle them mentally and physically.

✓ Definitely, people should try different opportunities because doing so gives them exposure to multiple tasks and teaches them how to tackle them mentally and physically.

Try on is used for putting on clothes to see whether they fit. When discussing activities or opportunities, use try without a preposition. The phrase try different opportunities is therefore correct.

× Definitely people should try on different opportunities because it gives them exposure to multiple different tasks and how one is supposed to tackle them mentally and physically.

✓ Definitely, people should try different opportunities because doing so gives them exposure to multiple tasks and teaches them how to tackle them mentally and physically.

The original sentence has an unclear and unbalanced structure: gives them exposure to tasks and how one is supposed to tackle them. Exposure can be given to tasks, but it cannot naturally be given to how someone tackles them. The revised sentence uses two parallel verbs, gives and teaches, to express the two ideas clearly. Use doing so to refer to the action of trying different opportunities.
