Part 1
Examiner
Do you like singing? Why?
Candidate
I'm not very keen on singing because I do not consider myself as a good singer. However, I really enjoy listening to songs especially when I am feeling down as music helps me to lift my mood and relaxing.
Examiner
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Candidate
As I mentioned earlier, I do not consider myself a good singer, so I never go on the track for learning the music.
Examiner
Who do you want to sing for?
Candidate
Mostly when we have a family together in that. Is this place any game related to singing? In that case? I used to sing for them, but honestly speaking it was not a cup of tea for me.
Examiner
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
Candidate
Of course yes, as per my opinion, whenever I feel down, I listen to music which will hit up my mood and also when I am not in my mood and I am a stress of my work at the time. For relaxing my mood I often listen to the music.

× I do not consider myself as a good singer.
✓ I do not consider myself a good singer.
In English, the verb 'consider' is followed directly by the object without the preposition 'as'. Using 'as' here is incorrect. The correct structure is 'consider myself a good singer'. This is a common mistake and should be avoided for proper grammar.
× music helps me to lift my mood and relaxing.
✓ music helps me to lift my mood and relax.
The sentence incorrectly uses 'relaxing' (a present participle) after 'helps me to'. The correct form is the base verb 'relax' because 'help' is followed by the base form of the verb. Using 'relaxing' here is grammatically incorrect.
× I never go on the track for learning the music.
✓ I never went on the track for learning the music.
The sentence refers to a past event, so the verb should be in the past tense. 'Go' is present tense; the correct past tense form is 'went'. This aligns the verb tense with the time frame of the action.
× Mostly when we have a family together in that.
✓ Mostly, when we have the family together,
The original sentence is incomplete and unclear. Adding commas and the definite article 'the' before 'family' clarifies the meaning. The phrase 'in that' is unnecessary and confusing, so it is removed for better sentence structure.
× Is this place any game related to singing?
✓ Is this place related to any game about singing?
The original sentence is awkward and unclear. Rearranging the words and adding 'about' improves clarity and grammatical correctness. The question now properly asks if the place is related to any singing game.
× In that case? I used to sing for them, but honestly speaking it was not a cup of tea for me.
✓ In that case, I used to sing for them, but honestly speaking, it was not a cup of tea for me.
The original has a question mark after 'In that case' which is incorrect. It should be a comma. Also, adding commas improves readability and sentence flow.
× as per my opinion, whenever I feel down, I listen to music which will hit up my mood
✓ in my opinion, whenever I feel down, I listen to music which lifts my mood
The phrase 'as per my opinion' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'in my opinion'. Also, 'hit up my mood' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'lifts my mood'. These corrections improve naturalness and grammatical accuracy.
× and also when I am not in my mood and I am a stress of my work at the time.
✓ and also when I am not in the mood and I am stressed because of my work at that time.
The phrase 'not in my mood' should be 'not in the mood'. 'I am a stress of my work' is incorrect; it should be 'I am stressed because of my work'. These corrections fix pronoun and noun usage errors.
× For relaxing my mood I often listen to the music.
✓ To relax my mood, I often listen to music.
The phrase 'For relaxing my mood' is awkward; the correct infinitive form 'To relax my mood' is appropriate. Also, 'the music' is unnecessary here; 'music' without an article is correct in this context.
