interest of students 定 students' interest?
✗ 你會咁寫
These activities can promote the interest of students.
✓ 應該係
These activities can promote students’ interest.
「interest of students」寫成「students’ interest」會簡潔自然啲。

點解你會咁寫
中文「學生嘅興趣」個「嘅」譯做 of 最直接,所以成篇文都係 of。英文習慣:講人或者生物用 ’s,講死物先用 of。眾數已經有 s 嘅字,撇號擺喺 s 後面。

✗ The books of the children are missing.
