Singing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Câu trả lời của bạn khá tự nhiên và có nội dung rõ ràng, tuy nhiên bạn nên tránh lặp lại ý (ví dụ: "because basically, music is my life" và "Because music makes me feel happy...") và nên sử dụng câu nối để câu trả lời mạch lạc hơn. Ngoài ra, bạn có thể thêm một câu chủ đề rõ ràng hơn để trả lời trực tiếp câu hỏi.

Example: Yes, I enjoy singing, although I'm not very confident in my skills. Music plays an important role in my life because it makes me feel happy and energetic. However, I prefer listening to my favorite artists rather than singing myself.

Suggestion: Bạn nên trả lời trực tiếp câu hỏi ngay từ đầu và tránh dùng các từ không chính thức như "like" trong bài thi IELTS. Câu trả lời nên có cấu trúc rõ ràng hơn và sử dụng các liên từ để câu văn mạch lạc.

Example: No, I have never formally learned how to sing because I don't believe I have the natural talent for it. Therefore, I haven't invested time or money in improving my singing skills and prefer to enjoy music by listening.

Suggestion: Câu trả lời của bạn hơi dài và có phần không rõ ràng ở cuối câu. Bạn nên trả lời trực tiếp câu hỏi ngay từ đầu, sử dụng câu chủ đề và các liên từ để làm rõ ý. Tránh dùng các cụm từ không chính xác như "going singing" và nên sửa lỗi ngữ pháp nhỏ.

Example: I don't usually sing for anyone in particular because I'm not confident in my singing skills. However, I enjoy singing with my friends at karaoke sessions as it helps us relax and bond.

Suggestion: Bạn nên trả lời ngắn gọn và rõ ràng hơn, tránh lặp từ và sử dụng các liên từ để câu trả lời mạch lạc. Ngoài ra, bạn có thể bổ sung thêm lý do hoặc ví dụ cụ thể để làm câu trả lời phong phú hơn.

Example: Yes, I believe singing can bring happiness to people because it is a fun and relaxing activity. For example, many people enjoy singing to relieve stress and improve their mood.

× Because music makes me feel happy, energetic and great.

✓ Music makes me feel happy, energetic, and great.

Starting a sentence with 'Because' without completing the thought creates a sentence fragment. The sentence should be restructured to form a complete sentence.

× Instead, I prefer listening to the music from my favorite artist.

✓ Instead, I prefer listening to music from my favorite artist.

The definite article 'the' is unnecessary before 'music' in this context. Removing 'the' makes the sentence more natural.

× Have you ever learnt how to sing?

✓ Have you ever learned how to sing?

'Learned' is the preferred past participle form in American English, while 'learnt' is more common in British English. Depending on the variety of English, 'learned' is generally more accepted.

× Like I don't think that I have natural talent to be a singer.

✓ I don't think that I have the natural talent to be a singer.

The word 'Like' at the beginning is informal and unnecessary here. Also, 'natural talent' requires the definite article 'the' to specify the talent.

× So I don't invest time or money or energy into improving my singing skills.

✓ So I don't invest time, money, or energy in improving my singing skills.

The preposition 'in' is more appropriate than 'into' when referring to investing resources in an activity. Also, commas improve clarity in the list.

× Instead, I prefer listening.

✓ Instead, I prefer listening to music.

The verb 'listening' requires an object with the preposition 'to' to complete the meaning.

× I'm not confident with my singing skills but I do enjoy going singing in some social situations such as going to the karaoke with my friends because it's a fun and energetic way to relax and to bond.

✓ I'm not confident about my singing skills, but I do enjoy singing in some social situations such as going to karaoke with my friends because it's a fun and energetic way to relax and bond.

The correct preposition is 'confident about' not 'confident with'. Also, 'going singing' is incorrect; 'singing' alone suffices. 'Going to karaoke' does not need 'the' before 'karaoke'. The phrase 'to bond' does not need 'to' before it here.

× So I guess I don't want.

✓ So I guess I don't want to sing for anyone.

The sentence is incomplete and lacks an object or complement after 'want'. Adding 'to sing for anyone' completes the thought.

× Yes, I'm sure that I'm confident to say that I believe that singing can totally bring happiness to people.

✓ Yes, I'm confident to say that I believe singing can totally bring happiness to people.

The phrase 'I'm sure that I'm confident to say' is redundant and awkward. Simplifying to 'I'm confident to say' improves clarity and flow.

× It's a fun way for relaxation I guess.

✓ I guess it's a fun way to relax.

The original sentence has awkward word order and missing prepositions. Reordering and using 'to relax' makes the sentence natural and grammatically correct.
