Do you like singing? Why?
Candidato
Yes, I do enjoy seeing. I found it a wonderful way to unwind after a busy day and it can also help me express my emotions. It's a great way to relax.
Examinador
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Candidato
Uh, no, I've never taken any professional singing lessons. For me, singing is more like a hobby rather than some professional skills that I have to learn formally.
Examinador
Who do you want to sing for?
Candidato
I'm actually a quite shy person so I don't like to sing in front of other people, so I would sing just for myself. Sometimes when I was taking a shower or when I was when I went cooking, I was just singing for fun.

× Yes, I do enjoy seeing.
✓ Yes, I do enjoy singing.
The student mistakenly used 'seeing' instead of 'singing'. The verb 'enjoy' should be followed by the '-ing' form of the verb that correctly matches the context. Since the question is about singing, 'singing' is the correct present participle form here.
× Sometimes when I was taking a shower or when I was when I went cooking, I was just singing for fun.
✓ Sometimes when I was taking a shower or when I was cooking, I was just singing for fun.
The phrase 'when I was when I went cooking' is incorrect and redundant. The correct past continuous form is 'when I was cooking'. This correction removes the extra 'when I went' and uses the appropriate tense to describe simultaneous actions in the past.
× Singing is quite common and affordable way for people to to relax.
✓ Singing is quite a common and affordable way for people to relax.
The sentence is missing the article 'a' before 'common and affordable way'. Also, there is a repeated 'to' which is incorrect. The phrase 'to relax' is correct as it follows 'way'. Adding 'a' and removing the extra 'to' corrects the sentence structure.
× And yeah yeah, in my country karaoke is a quite popular social activity and the young people often get together to sing for a whole day in the karaoke.
✓ And yeah, in my country karaoke is quite a popular social activity and young people often get together to sing for a whole day in karaoke.
The phrase 'a quite popular' is incorrect; 'quite' should precede 'a' or be used without it. Also, 'the young people' is better as 'young people' when speaking generally. The phrase 'in the karaoke' is incorrect; 'in karaoke' is the correct usage as 'karaoke' here refers to the activity, not a specific place.
