Opportunities— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your response repeats the examiner's question instead of answering it. Start with a direct answer about your childhood, then add one or two specific details, such as the activity, who encouraged you, and how you felt about it. Use the past tense accurately, for example, “I had the opportunity to...”

Ví dụ: Yes, I had the opportunity to try several new activities as a child. For example, I joined a swimming class when I was eight because my parents wanted me to become more active. At first, I was nervous, but I gradually became more confident and really enjoyed it.

Gợi ý: Your response repeats the question and changes its meaning by using “as others can.” Also, use the plural noun “things.” Give your opinion directly, support it with a reason, and include a specific example or result. A clear structure would be: opinion, reason, and example.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think people should try as many different things as they can. Exploring new activities helps them discover their interests and develop useful skills. For instance, someone who tries cooking, sports, or volunteering may find a new passion and become more confident.

× Did you have any opportunity to take part in new activities as a child?

✓ Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?

The question asks about opportunities in the plural. Use the plural noun opportunities to refer to multiple chances to take part in new activities. Although any opportunity can be grammatically possible when referring to one chance, opportunities is the appropriate form in this context.

× Should people try as many different thing as others can?

✓ Should people try as many different things as they can?

The quantifier phrase as many requires a plural countable noun, so thing must be changed to things. Remember to use a plural noun after as many.

× Should people try as many different thing as others can?

✓ Should people try as many different things as they can?

The pronoun they refers back to people, the subject being discussed. Others refers to different people and changes the intended meaning. Use they when referring to people in general.
