Singing— Part 1 Report
Conversation
Part 1
Examiner
Do you like singing? Why?
Candidate
That's just a question for me. Matter of fact, singing was my hobby since I was a little kid. As long as I can remember, I've been vocalizing whenever I felt felt down, whenever I felt happy. My way to express my emotions and feelings was by vocalizing.
Examiner
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Candidate
I personally think that I had a gift of singing and vocalizing, but I have not taken lessons. I wish I would take lessons because it would enhance my ability to vocalize in my singing skills so I would be very happy.
Examiner
Who do you want to sing for?
Candidate
I've been a very shy person. I have not sang for anyone. Maybe when I was a little kid I used to sing for my family, but hopefully in the future I will gather the courage up to sing for my family, my friends, to in front of people that I don't know, maybe strangers. I really do wish vocalizing would be my career.
Examiner
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
Candidate
Absolutely. Not only that, but I do believe that whenever people hear singing or whenever people sing, they it's a way of expressing their emotions. Whether it's happiness, sadness, anger, grief, you can really express and connect your emotions with thinking.

Grammar
× singing was my hobby since I was a little kid
✓ singing has been my hobby since I was a little kid
The phrase 'since I was a little kid' requires the present perfect tense to indicate an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Using simple past 'was' incorrectly suggests the hobby ended in the past.
× I've been vocalizing whenever I felt felt down, whenever I felt happy
✓ I've been vocalizing whenever I felt down, whenever I felt happy
The repetition of the word 'felt' is a typographical error. Removing the duplicate corrects the sentence.
× I have not sang for anyone
✓ I have not sung for anyone
After 'have not', the past participle form of the verb should be used. 'Sang' is simple past, while 'sung' is the correct past participle.
× I really do wish vocalizing would be my career
✓ I really do wish vocalizing to be my career
The verb 'wish' is usually followed by a clause or infinitive. However, 'wish vocalizing would be my career' is awkward; better phrasing would be 'I really do wish to have a career in vocalizing' or 'I really do wish vocalizing were my career.' The original sentence is awkward in structure.
