Opportunities— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly in the past tense: use “I had an opportunity” and “when I was in primary school.” Avoid unnatural phrases such as “I felt I very hate it”; say “I really disliked it.” The answer repeats “become more responsible,” so remove the repetition and use a clear structure: activity, feeling, and later benefit. Use linking words such as “although” and “now that I think about it” to connect the ideas naturally.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. When I was in primary school, my mother made me join a chess club. Although I disliked it at first, I gradually became more patient and responsible. Now that I think about it, learning chess also improved my concentration and problem-solving skills.

Gợi ý: Give a clearer opinion at the beginning and support it with one concise reason. Correct unnatural expressions such as “some of people,” “busy for their schedule,” and “fit and suit with me most”; use “some people,” “have busy schedules,” and “suit me best.” Avoid repeating “for me” and “try different things.” A more natural answer would acknowledge that trying new activities can be useful, but explain that people should choose activities that match their goals and available time.

Ví dụ: I don’t think people need to try as many things as possible. Although exploring new activities can help them discover their interests, some people have busy schedules because of school or work. Personally, I prefer to focus on activities that are useful to me and fit my goals.

× I do have an opportunity to take part when I was a child.

✓ I had an opportunity to take part in a new activity when I was a child.

The phrase when I was a child refers to a finished period in the past, so the past-tense form had should be used instead of the present-tense form do have. The preposition in is also used after take part when referring to an activity.

× So when I go to primary school my mom forced me to go to a chess club.

✓ So, when I went to primary school, my mom forced me to join a chess club.

The event happened in the past, so go must be changed to its past-tense form went. Join a chess club is a more natural expression than go to a chess club when describing becoming a member of the club.

× I felt I very hate it.

✓ I felt that I really hated it.

Because the speaker is describing a feeling in the past, hate should be changed to the past-tense form hated. Really can modify the verb hated, whereas very is generally used before adjectives or adverbs, not directly before most verbs.

× I felt I very hate it.

✓ I felt that I really hated it.

Very is incorrectly used before the verb hate. Use the adverb really to modify a verb: I really hated it. The adverb really is placed before the main verb.

× I felt I very hate it.

✓ I felt that I really hated it.

The sentence needs that to introduce the clause describing what the speaker felt. The structure should be subject + felt + that + clause: I felt that I really hated it.

× Not really because some of people are too busy for their schedule.

✓ Not really, because some people are too busy with their schedules.

Some people is the correct quantifier structure; of is unnecessary when some directly modifies a plural noun. Since people generally have more than one schedule or commitment, schedules is more appropriate. The preposition with is also more natural with busy in this context.

× Not really because some of people are too busy for their schedule.

✓ Not really, because some people are too busy with their schedules.

Busy with is the usual preposition when describing activities or responsibilities that occupy someone. Busy for their schedule is not natural in this context.

× I don't really want to try different things as I can.

✓ I do not really want to try as many different things as I can.

The expression as many different things as I can is needed to show the maximum number of activities. As I can alone does not correctly express this meaning.

× I think I would only do the thing that will help me fit and suit with me most.

✓ I think I would only do the things that fit and suit me best.

The verb suit is not followed by with in this meaning. Say suit me. The verb fit can also take a direct object, as in fit me. Therefore, fit and suit me is the correct structure.

× I think I would only do the thing that will help me fit and suit with me most.

✓ I think I would only do the things that fit and suit me best.

Best is the natural adverb when comparing how well something fits or suits a person. Most is not the appropriate adverb in this expression. Also, the plural form things matches the idea of choosing among different activities.
