Did you have any opportunities to take part in new activities as a child?
分數: 68.0建議: 「But yes」は不自然なので「Yes, definitely」や「Yes, I did」にしましょう。また、過去の経験について話しているため、「have many opportunities」ではなく「had many opportunities」を使う必要があります。「for example」の前後にコンマを置き、「Christmas fairs and sports days」「These events」「join games and clubs」のように、名詞の数と代名詞を正しく一致させてください。最初に直接答え、その後に具体例と結果を続けると、より明確で自然になります。
範例: Yes, I did. My local community often held events such as Christmas fairs and sports days. I took part in games and joined different clubs, which helped me make new friends quickly.
Should people try as many different things as they can?
分數: 72.0建議: 意見は明確ですが、「new different things」は重複しているため「different things」または「new activities」にしましょう。また、「as many as possible」の位置を「try as many different things as possible」とし、「lead to our new possibility」は不自然なので「create new opportunities」や「open up new possibilities」と表現するとよいです。理由と将来の効果をつなぐために、「because」や「As a result」を使い、具体例を1つ加えると内容の説得力が高まります。
範例: Yes, definitely. Trying as many different activities as possible helps people broaden their perspectives and discover what they enjoy. For example, learning a new skill can introduce them to new people and open up future opportunities.
