No, when I was a child, activities like piano or swimming lessons were not common when I grow up. There was not much access to extra curicular classes. So most of my time spent playing outside with my cousins.

Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: Answer the question directly, then give one or two specific supporting details. Correct the verb tense and grammar: use “grew up” instead of “grow up,” “extracurricular” instead of “extra curicular,” and “I spent most of my time” instead of “most of my time spent.” Also, use a linking word such as “As a result” to connect the limited access to your childhood activities. Avoid repeating “activities” too often.
Ví dụ: No, I didn’t have many opportunities to try new activities when I was growing up because extracurricular classes were not common in my area. For example, there were very few places offering piano or swimming lessons. As a result, I spent most of my free time playing outdoors with my cousins.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Điểm: 42.0Gợi ý: State your opinion clearly and complete your answer with a reason and a specific example. The response is unfinished, and “as long as they can” is vague; explain that people should try different activities when they have enough time, money, or access. Avoid the fragment “doing exercises like swimming, activities outside their homes,” and remove the repetition in “It gives them it gives them.” Use linking words such as “because,” “For instance,” and “As a result.”
Ví dụ: Yes, I think people should try different activities whenever they have the time and opportunity. This allows them to discover their interests and develop new skills. For instance, someone might try swimming, cooking, or a team sport and eventually find a hobby they really enjoy. As a result, they may become more confident and open-minded.
