× Also express my emotion freely.
✓ I also express my emotions freely.
The original sentence lacks a subject and verb, making it a sentence fragment. Adding 'I' as the subject and 'express' as the verb completes the sentence structure. Additionally, 'emotion' should be plural as it refers to feelings in general.
× Overall, it is a positive way for me to unwind after studying after pressure.
✓ Overall, it is a positive way for me to unwind after studying and after pressure.
The phrase 'after studying after pressure' is unclear and lacks proper conjunction. Adding 'and' clarifies that the speaker unwinds after both studying and experiencing pressure.
× I used to take singing lessons during primary school.
✓ I used to take singing lessons during primary school.
This sentence is correct in past tense usage; no correction needed.
× I usually attended this class for about two or three times a week, and this really helped me to improve my vocal skills.
✓ I usually attended this class about two or three times a week, and this really helped me to improve my vocal skills.
The phrase 'for about two or three times a week' is incorrect because 'times' with 'for' is not standard. Removing 'for' makes the expression correct.
× Actually, I have to admit that I have a very bad voice and I feel like I just need to give myself a song, a song of Taylor Swift that I mentioned earlier and I'm scared of being making comments by other people when I'm saying so yes please singing to myself.
✓ Actually, I have to admit that I have a very bad voice and I feel like I just need to sing a Taylor Swift song that I mentioned earlier. I'm scared of receiving comments from other people when I sing, so yes, I prefer singing to myself.
The original sentence has multiple issues: 'give myself a song' is incorrect; it should be 'sing a song'. 'Being making comments' is incorrect; 'receiving comments' is appropriate. The sentence is also run-on and unclear, so it was split and rephrased for clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Definitely yes, when a person can express or her emotion through the song.
✓ Definitely yes, when a person can express their emotions through a song.
The phrase 'express or her emotion' is incorrect. It should be 'express their emotions' to be gender-neutral and grammatically correct. Also, 'through the song' is better as 'through a song' for generality.
× So she can probably be in a positive being healthier as the government increased.
✓ So she can probably be in a positive state and healthier, as the government has increased support.
The original sentence is unclear and grammatically incorrect. 'Be in a positive being healthier' is not a correct phrase. It was rephrased to 'be in a positive state and healthier'. The phrase 'as the government increased' is incomplete; adding 'support' clarifies the meaning.
× Like the article that I read earlier.
✓ This is like the article that I read earlier.
The original sentence is a fragment lacking a subject and verb. Adding 'This is' completes the sentence.
