Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: Answer the question more directly and use accurate grammatical structures. Say “I had an opportunity to take part in” rather than “I had opportunity to involve in.” Also, use the past tense consistently because you are describing a childhood experience: “I had to monitor” and “I submitted.” Explain the activity clearly, and avoid the unnatural phrase “one of the greatest opportunities I felt.” Use linking words such as “because” or “as a result” to connect the experience with its significance.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had the opportunity to take part in a state election when I was a child. I helped record the voting process online and submit the footage to government officials. It lasted for two days, and I had to monitor the process carefully. It was a valuable experience because it taught me to be responsible and gave me an insight into how elections work.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion in the first sentence, then support it with one or two specific reasons. Avoid repetition of “try as many things” and “learn as many.” Use natural expressions such as “gain valuable experience,” “discover their interests,” and “benefit their future careers.” Correct the word order and grammar: say “exploring different activities always provides valuable lessons” rather than “exploring will give always learnings.” A brief example would make your answer more effective and specific.

For example, someone who tries volunteering, sports, and public speaking may develop useful communication and teamwork skills. These experiences can help them make better decisions about their education and future career.

Much is used with the uncountable noun learning or with the general activity of learning, whereas many is used with plural countable nouns. The correct comparison structure is as much as they can.
