Opportunities— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and describe one activity clearly. Use the plural form “different kinds of activities,” and say “I took part in mushroom picking” instead of “the event that I joined actually like mushroom picking.” Avoid the confusing sentence about Prague and the countryside; explain where you went and what you did in a logical order. Complete your answer with a specific detail or feeling, and keep it to three or four well-connected sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had the opportunity to try several new activities as a child. For example, I went mushroom picking with my family in the Czech countryside near Prague. We spent the day walking through the forest and looking for different types of mushrooms. It was enjoyable because I was able to spend time outdoors and learn something new.

Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion first, then support it with two logically connected reasons. Replace “improve your different kind of skill set” with “develop a wider range of skills,” and avoid repeating “future.” Use a linking phrase such as “In addition” instead of beginning with “And also.” Finally, complete the explanation after “because” by adding a specific example or result, and avoid informal wording such as “super healthy.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I think people should try a wide range of activities, although they do not need to do everything. Trying new things helps them develop a wider range of skills and discover interests they may not have known about. In addition, new experiences can keep people mentally active and motivated. For example, someone who takes up a sport may become fitter while also making new friends.

× I had a chance to take part in different kind of activities when I was a child.

✓ I had a chance to take part in different kinds of activities when I was a child.

Different is used to describe more than one kind, so the countable noun kind must be plural: different kinds. The noun activities is also correctly plural because the speaker refers to several activities.

× One of the events that I joined actually like mushroom picking.

✓ One of the activities that I took part in was mushroom picking.

The original sentence does not have a complete main-clause structure. After the subject One of the activities, a linking verb is needed. Was connects the subject with the activity mushroom picking. Took part in is also more natural than joined when referring to an activity.

× We first went to Czech Republic Prague from one of the countryside in the Czech Republic.

✓ We first went from the countryside to Prague in the Czech Republic.

The country name requires the definite article: the Czech Republic. Also, Prague is a city, so it should be introduced as Prague in the Czech Republic. The revised word order makes the travel direction clear.

× We first went to Czech Republic Prague from one of the countryside in the Czech Republic.

✓ We first went from the countryside to Prague in the Czech Republic.

Countryside is normally an uncountable noun, so it cannot be used with one of. Use the countryside when referring generally to a rural area. Use one of only with a plural countable noun, such as one of the villages.

× When you try new things, you actually improve your different kind of skill set that you may need in the future.

✓ When you try new things, you can develop different kinds of skills that you may need in the future.

Because the sentence refers to several abilities, kind and skill should be plural: different kinds of skills. Develop different kinds of skills is also a more natural expression than improve your different kind of skill set.
