chance/opportunity

An opportunity is a situation in which it is possible for you to do something that you want to do.
If you have a chance to do something, you have the opportunity to do it. So they can be interchangeble.

Anyway, it seems to be this way:

She hopes she has the chance to become an artist someday. There is a probability she becomes an artist and it depend

"Opportunity" has the sense that there is some specific goal and there is not as much pure luck required for success. For example:
I earned such high grades last semester that my school gave me the opportunity for a scholarship.
"Chance" implies more pure luck or randomness in being successful::
Since he bought so many tickets this round, he has a better chance to win the lottery

Hi,
Thank you both for your replies.

AlpheccaStar, which word do you think is better in my example?

Or the both are ok here but there is little difference?

Hi Yankee,

Yes, that is just what I mean here. Thank you very much for correcting the wording of my sentence.

However, I would like to ask if 'opportunity' is fine or not here?

Thanks a lot.

To me, the word "opportunity" would not work in that sentence -- the word "opportunity" seems too definite/specific. The word "opportunity" would suggest that it is possible to be given a definite option to choose a specific result. However, it is unlikely that any one person can offer you the option of "becoming a famous artist". There are too many variables involved in achieving "famous artist"

Hi Yankee,

Thank you very much for your reply and your help.
I have one last question about them.

She hopes there is a chance that she wil become an artist.

If it's not necessary to be famous for her, just hopes to have a chance to be an artist, is 'chance' still a better word here?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Could someone please reply to my question above?
Thank you a lot!

yes, it is, the reason is very simple, and it is because the same that you wrote: IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR HER, so there is not any necessity of say something specificly.
Well, what I am meaning is that what the people above tried to say is that OPPORTUNITY is going to be used when we want to say something specific (something that is serious and formal) because it is not only possible, but it i
