Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
Điểm: 62.0Gợi ý: Answer the question directly with a complete topic sentence, then add one or two specific examples. Correct the grammar in “when I was child” to “when I was a child,” and avoid repeating “wanted to.” Use the plural forms “piano lessons” and “painting lessons.” The ending “so that” is incomplete, so finish the idea by explaining the result or benefit of these activities. Use a linking word such as “For example” or “As a result” to make the answer more coherent.
Ví dụ: Yes, I had several opportunities to try new activities when I was a child. My parents wanted me to be creative, so they enrolled me in piano and painting lessons. As a result, I developed an interest in the arts and became more confident expressing myself.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
Điểm: 55.0Gợi ý: State your opinion clearly and support it with a logical reason and a specific example. Correct “every experience are” to “every experience is,” and replace the unclear phrase “meaningful to live their life” with “meaningful in life” or “helps people grow.” The phrase “even though it’s heartbreaking like a breakup” is grammatically incomplete and does not clearly connect to your main idea. Explain that difficult experiences, such as a breakup, can also teach people valuable lessons. Avoid repetition in “try many things as much as they can” by saying “try as many different things as possible.”
Ví dụ: Yes, I think people should try as many different things as possible because each experience can help them grow. For example, even a painful experience such as a breakup can teach someone how to communicate better and become more independent. Therefore, both positive and negative experiences can be valuable in life.
× Yes, I did have many opportunities to participate in activities when I was child because my parents wanted to wanted me to be creative.
✓ Yes, I had many opportunities to participate in activities when I was a child because my parents wanted me to be creative.
The singular countable noun child requires the indefinite article a. The repeated phrase wanted to wanted is an error; use wanted me to be creative because the verb want is followed by an object and the infinitive with to. The unnecessary did has also been removed for a more natural past-tense response.
× Yes, I did have many opportunities to participate in activities when I was child because my parents wanted to wanted me to be creative. So I went to piano lesson and painting lesson so that.
✓ Yes, I had many opportunities to participate in activities when I was a child because my parents wanted me to be creative. I took piano and painting lessons to develop my creativity.
The original ending, so that, is incomplete because so that must introduce a complete purpose clause, such as so that I could develop my creativity. The correction uses the complete and natural structure to + verb to express purpose.
× So I went to piano lesson and painting lesson so that.
✓ I took piano and painting lessons to develop my creativity.
When referring to lessons in general or repeated classes, the plural form lessons is appropriate. The correction also uses took lessons, which is more natural than went to lesson in this context.
× Yes, I think people should try many things as much as they can because every experience are is meaningful to live their life for example, even though it's heartbreaking like a breakup.
✓ Yes, I think people should try as many different things as they can because every experience is meaningful in life, even when it is heartbreaking, such as a breakup.
Every experience is singular, so it must take the singular verb is, not are. The phrase are is contains two competing verb forms and should be reduced to is. The correction also makes the sentence structure clearer by separating the example with commas and using even when for a more natural connection.
