Opportunities— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and avoid repeating words such as “dance,” “opportunity,” and “then.” Use the correct collocation “join a dance group” and the past tense consistently. You should also complete your final idea and add one specific detail about what you learned or enjoyed. A clearer structure would be: direct answer, activity details, and a result or personal feeling.

Ví dụ: Yes, I had the opportunity to join a dance group when I was a child. I attended classes for about six years, and I really enjoyed learning different routines and performing with my classmates.

Gợi ý: Give your opinion clearly, then support it with logically connected reasons. Use “reduce stress” rather than “reduce their stress,” and replace the unclear phrase “broaden their parsons” with “broaden their perspectives” or “expand their horizons.” Avoid the hesitation sound “A” and use linking words such as “Moreover” or “For example.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I think people should try a wide range of activities whenever possible. First, new experiences can help them reduce stress and break up their daily routine.
