机会— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer the question directly and describe one specific activity. Correct the grammar in “when I was student” to “when I was a student,” and avoid repeating “learn.” Also, “played the orchestra” is incorrect; say “played in the school orchestra.” Use consistent verb forms, such as “played” and “enjoyed,” and explain why you liked the activity. Keep the answer to two or three clear sentences.

範例: Yes, I had the opportunity to try something new when I was in primary school. My school offered music classes, so I joined the orchestra and learned to play the violin. I really enjoyed performing with my classmates because it helped me become more confident.

建議: Your opinion is clear, but the supporting reason contains several grammatical and vocabulary errors. Replace “because acquire various setting” with “because trying different activities helps people develop various skills,” and use “adapt to different situations” instead of “adopt other circumstances.” Add one specific example or result to make the answer more developed, and use a linking word such as “For example” or “As a result.”

範例: Yes, I think people should try a variety of activities because this helps them develop different skills and adapt to new situations. For example, joining a sports team can improve both physical fitness and communication skills. As a result, people may become more confident and open-minded.
