Part 1
Examiner
Do you like singing? Why?
Candidate
No, I don't like singing. I believe I'm not a great singer. Moreover, I feel shy and embarrassed to sing in front of anyone, and I believe I would not be able to do just it with justice with the song.
Examiner
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Candidate
No, I'm not fond of singing, so I didn't even try to learn this scale. Moreover, I grew up in a village, there is no such opportunity available like vocal teachers who can teach me. And even if I get a chance, I believe I wouldn't go for it as I.
Examiner
Who do you want to sing for?
Candidate
I'm not very passionate about singing, so if I ever get a chance to sing, uh, a song for anyone, I would like to dedicate a song, uh, or I would like to sing for my mother. She's a lady who did all the sacrifices, uh, to, uh, to help me reach where I am right now. So, uh, she's the only person I, uh, would like to sing for.
Examiner
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
Candidate
Definitely singing can bring happiness to any person's life. Uh, for example, being away from family, living in, uh, abroad, away from my partner, it would be difficult for me to, uh, stay positive. So singing is the thing, uh, that suits my mind, relax my body and uh, help me and stay positive thinking.

× I believe I would not be able to do just it with justice with the song.
✓ I believe I would not be able to do it justice with the song.
The phrase 'do just it with justice' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'do it justice', meaning to perform or represent something well. The word 'just' is unnecessary and misplaced here.
× Moreover, I grew up in a village, there is no such opportunity available like vocal teachers who can teach me.
✓ Moreover, I grew up in a village where there are no opportunities like vocal teachers who can teach me.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'there is' with a plural noun 'opportunities'. Also, 'like vocal teachers' is better expressed as 'such as vocal teachers'. The sentence is corrected to properly use 'there are' for plural and improve clarity.
× And even if I get a chance, I believe I wouldn't go for it as I.
✓ And even if I get a chance, I believe I wouldn't go for it.
The phrase 'as I' at the end is incomplete and unclear, making the sentence structurally incorrect. Removing 'as I' corrects the sentence and makes it clear.
× Singing is the thing, uh, that suits my mind, relax my body and uh, help me and stay positive thinking.
✓ Singing is the thing that suits my mind, relaxes my body, and helps me stay positive.
The verbs 'relax' and 'help' need to agree with the singular subject 'Singing', so they should be 'relaxes' and 'helps'. Also, 'stay positive thinking' is awkward; it is corrected to 'helps me stay positive' for clarity and grammatical correctness.
