Part 1
考官
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
考生
Yes, when I was 10 years old I was part of the chess team on my local charge. That experience taught me to be in calm and think a lot about the next play, which is very important, especially for a kid, and now that I'm older it helps me a lot in work.

Should people try as many different things as they can?
考生
Yes, definitely. I think that every knowledge that you learn helps you a lot to improve. Could be at work or in your personal life. Independent of that, it makes you a better person.

分数: 68.0建议: Improve clarity, grammar and use more specific details. Begin with a clear topic sentence, correct phrases (e.g., 'local church' or 'local club' instead of 'local charge'), and reduce redundancy. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., 'because', 'which helped me to...'). Limit to 3–4 concise sentences. Mention a concrete example of how chess helped at work to make the answer more specific.
示例: Yes. When I was ten I joined the chess team at my local club. Playing chess taught me to stay calm and plan several moves ahead, which developed my concentration. For example, at work I now use that planning skill to prioritize tasks and avoid mistakes.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
分数: 64.0建议: Make the response more natural and grammatical, combine short fragments into complete sentences, and add a specific example or reason. Use linking words (e.g., 'because', 'for instance') to show logic. Avoid vague phrases like 'every knowledge'—use 'everything you learn' or 'new experiences'. Keep it to 2–4 sentences and include a brief example of a benefit.
示例: Yes, definitely. I believe that everything you learn from new experiences helps you grow because it broadens your skills and perspectives. For instance, trying public speaking once improved my confidence at work and helped me communicate more clearly.
× I was part of the chess team on my local charge.
✓ I was part of the chess team in my local area.
The preposition 'on' is incorrect with 'charge' here and 'charge' is the wrong noun. Native speakers say 'in my local area' or 'in my town'. Use 'in' to indicate location and replace 'charge' with 'area' or 'community'. Suggestion: use 'in my local area', 'in my town' or 'in my neighborhood'.
× That experience taught me to be in calm and think a lot about the next play, which is very important, especially for a kid, and now that I'm older it helps me a lot in work.
✓ That experience taught me to stay calm and think carefully about the next move, which is very important, especially for a child, and now that I'm older it helps me a lot at work.
Multiple issues: 'be in calm' is not a correct adjective phrase; use the verb phrase 'stay calm'. 'Think a lot about' is informal and awkward; 'think carefully about' is more precise. 'Next play' is better as 'next move' in chess context. 'Kid' is informal; 'child' is more appropriate. Preposition 'in work' is incorrect; use 'at work'. Suggestions: use 'stay calm', 'think carefully about the next move', 'especially for a child', and 'helps me a lot at work'.
× I think that every knowledge that you learn helps you a lot to improve.
✓ I think that any knowledge you gain helps you improve a lot.
'Every knowledge' is ungrammatical because 'knowledge' is an uncountable noun; use 'any' or 'the knowledge' or rephrase. 'That you learn' is wordy; 'you gain' or 'you learn' is better. 'Helps you a lot to improve' is awkward; 'helps you improve a lot' or 'helps you improve' is natural. Suggestion: use uncountable noun forms correctly and simplify the clause.
× Could be at work or in your personal life.
✓ This could be at work or in your personal life.
The original is a sentence fragment missing a subject and auxiliary/modal marker. Adding 'This' as the subject and 'could be' completes the sentence. Alternatively connect it to the previous sentence: 'It could be at work or in your personal life.' Suggestion: ensure each sentence has a subject and verb.
× Independent of that, it makes you a better person.
✓ Aside from that, it makes you a better person.
'Independent of that' is awkward in conversational English here; 'Aside from that' or 'Regardless' are more natural connectors. The meaning is fine but the conjunction phrase choice should be more idiomatic. Suggestion: use 'Aside from that' or 'Regardless'.
