I have got a sentence with a space to be filled in:

"My holiday in England gave me a great ..... to improve my English accent."

I have to choose between those 4 words: occasion, chance, hope, possibility.

I am not sure which one is the right - may be chance?Smile

Thanks for you help!

Yes, your intuition was right: the phrase is 'give someone a chance to'.

Welcome aboard, by the way!
