Opportunities— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and give one or two specific examples. The phrase “activities that was given” is grammatically incorrect and unnatural; say “opportunities provided by my parents, teachers, and friends.” Also, “enormous activities” is not appropriate in this context. Use “a wide range of activities” instead. Complete your answer with a clear example and a reason or result, and avoid repeating the same idea.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had plenty of opportunities to try new activities as a child. My parents encouraged me to take piano lessons, while my teachers introduced me to different sports at school. I especially enjoyed swimming because it helped me become more confident and active.

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear opinion and support it with one logically developed reason and a specific example. Use “as many things as they can,” not “as many things they can.” The phrases “shape you better in different way of life,” “brush up different parts of skills,” and “we must not know now” are unclear or unnatural. Say that trying different activities helps people discover their strengths and develop useful skills. Avoid the incomplete final sentence, “Extracurricular is the basic.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities because this helps them discover their interests and develop different skills. For example, joining a sports club can improve teamwork, while learning a musical instrument can build patience and concentration. These experiences may also be useful later in life, even if people do not appreciate their value at first.
