Opportunities— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly in the present perfect or past simple rather than saying “I was having.” Use “such as” to introduce examples, and avoid repeating “art and craft.” The phrase “I have pursued an art and craft” is unnatural; say “I have continued doing arts and crafts” or “I have pursued this hobby.” Organize the answer with a clear topic sentence and one specific supporting detail. Also, use “arts and crafts” as the natural plural form.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had plenty of opportunities to try new activities as a child, such as singing, dancing, and arts and crafts. However, arts and crafts quickly became my favorite because I enjoyed making things with my hands. I still pursue this hobby today, especially when I have free time.

Gợi ý: Give a clear opinion at the beginning instead of starting with “it depends.” Explain your reason logically and use linking words such as “because,” “for example,” and “however.” Correct “person choice” to “personal choice,” and avoid unclear phrases such as “surplus amounts of a film,” which do not fit the meaning. The answer should focus on trying different activities, not on having an interest in films. Aim for two or three well-connected sentences with specific examples.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities because this helps them discover their interests and develop new skills. For example, someone might try painting, dancing, or learning a language before deciding which activity they enjoy most. However, they should not feel pressured to continue something that does not suit them.

× Yes, I was having so many opportunities when I was a child.

✓ Yes, I had many opportunities when I was a child.

The phrase refers to opportunities that existed during a finished period in the past. Therefore, the simple past form had is more appropriate than the past continuous form was having.

× like singing, dancing art and craft

✓ such as singing, dancing, and arts and crafts

Arts and crafts is the standard plural expression for this type of activity. The plural form is needed because the speaker is referring to multiple creative activities.

× I have pursued an art and craft till now.

✓ I have pursued arts and crafts until now.

An cannot be used before the uncountable or plural activity expression arts and crafts. The phrase arts and crafts should be used without an article. Until now is also the more natural expression for an activity continuing up to the present.

× whether they have a different interest in different things

✓ whether they have different interests in different things

The speaker is referring to interests in several different activities, so the plural noun interests is more appropriate than the singular phrase a different interest.

× I have interest in so many films

✓ I have an interest in many films

The singular countable noun interest requires the article an when it is used in the expression have an interest in. The phrase many films is sufficient; so many is not necessary here.

× surplus amounts of a film

✓ a wide range of films

Amounts is generally used with uncountable nouns, while films are countable. To express that the speaker likes many different kinds of films, a wide range of films is the appropriate expression.

× also I have an interest in singing, dancing, gaming as well

✓ I also have an interest in singing, dancing, and gaming.

The adverb also usually comes before the main verb have. In addition, also and as well are redundant when used together, so only one of them should be used.

× I have an interest in art, also I have an interest in singing, dancing, gaming as well.

✓ I have an interest in art, and I also have an interest in singing, dancing, and gaming.

Two independent clauses should be joined with a suitable conjunction such as and. Using a comma alone to join them creates an incorrect sentence connection.
