Do you like singing? Why?
Puntuación: 50.0Sugerencia: Your answer is somewhat unclear and contains grammatical errors, such as "I've never seen before" which does not fit the context. Try to give a clear and direct response with proper grammar and avoid redundancy. Also, explain your feelings about singing more naturally.
Ejemplo: No, I don't enjoy singing myself, but I do like listening to classic songs because they have beautiful melodies and meaningful lyrics.
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Your answer is clear and direct, but using informal words like "Nope" is not recommended in IELTS speaking. Also, try to add a bit more detail to enrich your answer and use linking words to connect ideas.
Ejemplo: No, I have never learned how to sing because I am not interested in it, as I mentioned earlier.
Who do you want to sing for?

Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
Puntuación: 40.0Sugerencia: Your answer is too short and somewhat negative without explanation. Also, the sentence "But. Meaningful poetry is very powerful and it is very good." is fragmented and unclear. Try to give a balanced opinion with reasons and use complete sentences.
Ejemplo: I think singing can bring happiness to many people because it allows them to express their emotions. However, I personally prefer meaningful poetry because it moves me deeply.
× I've never seen before
✓ I've never seen it before
The sentence lacks an object after 'seen'. The verb 'see' requires an object to complete its meaning. Adding 'it' clarifies what has never been seen before.
× sometimes I like to listen to the good and classic songs
✓ sometimes I like to listen to good and classic songs
The definite article 'the' is unnecessary here because the speaker refers to songs in general, not specific ones. Removing 'the' makes the sentence more natural.
× I prefer to keep it a it as a private hobby
✓ I prefer to keep it as a private hobby
The phrase contains a redundant 'a it'. Removing the extra words corrects the sentence and clarifies the meaning.
× Singing cannot bring happiness to people. But. Meaningful poetry is very powerful and it is very good.
✓ Singing cannot bring happiness to people, but meaningful poetry is very powerful and very good.
The original sentences are fragmented and improperly punctuated. Combining them with a comma and 'but' creates a grammatically correct compound sentence.
