机会— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer directly in the past tense and avoid repetition. Use “had the opportunity to participate in” instead of “got an opportunity where I get the chance to take part in.” Also, say “I discovered that I was good at running,” rather than “I am a great in running.” Organize the response with a clear topic sentence followed by a specific detail about the race and its result.

範例: Yes, I had the opportunity to take part in a running race when I was a child. It was exciting because I had never competed in a race before. In fact, I discovered that I was quite good at running, so I started participating in more school sports events.

建議: Although asking for repetition is acceptable when you do not understand, this answer does not address the question and therefore provides no opinion or supporting detail. After asking the examiner to repeat the question, listen carefully and give a direct answer. State your opinion first, then support it with a reason and, if possible, a brief example.

範例: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities because this helps them discover their interests and abilities. For example, someone who tries cooking, sports, and music may find a talent or passion they did not know they had. However, they should focus on the activities they genuinely enjoy rather than trying everything at once.

× I got an an opportunity where I get the chance to take a part in a race.

✓ I got an opportunity to take part in a race.

The article an is repeated before opportunity, so one an should be removed. Also, the fixed expression is take part, not take a part. Because you are describing a childhood experience, the past-tense form got is appropriate.

× I got an an opportunity where I get the chance to take a part in a race.

✓ I got an opportunity to take part in a race.

The verb get should be in the past tense, got, because you are talking about an experience in the past. The phrase where I get the chance is also unnecessarily repetitive after I got an opportunity.

× I guess that is a great opportunity for me because then I get to know about something new about me that I am a great in running.

✓ I guess that was a great opportunity for me because I learned something new about myself: I was great at running.

Use was, learned, and was because the entire experience happened in the past. The phrase learn something new about myself is more natural than get to know about something new about me in this context.

× I am a great in running.

✓ I was great at running.

The adjective great is followed by the preposition at when describing an ability or skill. Therefore, say great at running, not great in running.

× I am a great in running.

✓ I was great at running.

Great is an adjective in this sentence, so it does not need the article a before it. The correct phrase is was great at running.
