Part 1
考官
Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
考生
Yes, my parents were always encouraging, so I did have a choice. I did dancing and played piano, but eventually I stopped doing them because I became preoccupied with schoolwork. But those activities helped me gain confidence and to be more disciplined.

Should people try as many different things as they can?
考生
Doing many different things at the same time is not gonna work on a long term, because you have to like jump on one task and then another and eventually you'll stop improving on one aspect of this. So I think.

分数: 78.0建议: Ответ естественный и логичный, но можно улучшить связность и конкретику. Слишком много предложений с разными временными формами без плавных связок; можно сократить повторения и добавить один конкретный пример (например, как выступления на концертах повлияли на уверенность). Также стоит следить за стилистикой: «did dancing» лучше заменить на «took dancing lessons»; использовать связки («for example», «as a result») и не превышать 4–5 предложений.
示例: Yes — my parents encouraged me, so I had many choices. For example, I took dancing lessons and weekly piano classes until high school. Although I stopped because I focused on schoolwork, participating in recitals helped me become more confident and disciplined. As a result, I still feel comfortable speaking in public.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
分数: 64.0建议: Идея понятна, но ответ неформален и незавершён: разговорные выражения («gonna», «you have to like») и оборванная мысль снижают качество. Нужно сформулировать основной тезис в начале, объяснить причины с использованием связок, привести конкретный пример и закончить выводом. Поддерживайте академический/нейтральный регистр в экзамене и укладывайтесь в 3–4 предложения.
示例: I don't think it's effective to try too many things at once. When people split their attention between multiple tasks, they often make slow progress in each area and lose motivation. For example, a student practicing three instruments simultaneously may not master any of them. Therefore, focusing on a few priorities is usually more productive.
× I did dancing and played piano, but eventually I stopped doing them because I became preoccupied with schoolwork.
✓ I danced and played the piano, but eventually I stopped those activities because I became preoccupied with schoolwork.
The phrase 'did dancing' is unnatural in English; use the simple past 'danced' for activities. Also include the definite article 'the' with 'piano' when referring to playing the instrument. Replace 'doing them' with 'those activities' for clarity and correct noun reference. Suggestions: use simple past for completed activities (I danced), include 'the' with musical instruments when appropriate (played the piano), and use clear noun phrases instead of 'doing them'.
× But those activities helped me gain confidence and to be more disciplined.
✓ But those activities helped me gain confidence and become more disciplined.
After 'helped me' the infinitive without 'to' or the bare infinitive is preferred in this context; 'helped me to be' is acceptable but wordier. Using 'become more disciplined' is more natural than 'to be more disciplined.' Suggestions: use 'helped me + verb' or 'helped me to + verb' consistently; prefer concise forms (helped me gain confidence and become more disciplined).
× Doing many different things at the same time is not gonna work on a long term, because you have to like jump on one task and then another and eventually you'll stop improving on one aspect of this.
✓ Doing many different things at the same time will not work in the long term, because you will have to jump from one task to another and eventually you will stop improving in any one area.
Use formal future 'will not' instead of colloquial 'gonna.' The phrase is 'in the long term' not 'on a long term.' Use 'jump from one task to another' rather than 'jump on one task and then another.' 'Stop improving in any one area' is clearer and idiomatic than 'stop improving on one aspect of this.' Suggestions: avoid colloquial contractions in formal speech ('gonna' -> 'will not'), use correct preposition 'in the long term,' and use idiomatic verbs and prepositions ('jump from ... to ...', 'improving in an area').
× So I think.
✓ So I think that people should focus on a few activities to improve at them.
The fragment 'So I think.' is incomplete and does not convey the student's full opinion. Expanding it completes the idea and fits the previous sentence that presents an argument. Suggestions: provide a full clause after 'I think' (I think + that + clause) to state the opinion clearly.
