Do you like singing? Why?
Puntuación: 52.0Sugerencia: Make your answer more direct and fluent. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No and a reason), avoid filler words (uh, um), and limit to up to five sentences. Use specific details about when or how singing makes you happy and correct unclear words (e.g., 'chewing' -> likely 'relaxed' or 'cheerful'). Use one linking phrase to connect ideas (e.g., 'because' or 'so').
Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy singing because it is a powerful way to express my emotions and it makes me feel relaxed. For example, I often sing when I am thinking or after a long day, and it instantly lifts my mood. Singing is important to me because it gives me pleasure and helps me reflect on my thoughts.
Have you ever learnt how to sing?

Mention concrete examples like family, school, or community events that show how you practised singing. Use a linking word like 'however' or 'but' to contrast formal lessons with informal experience.
Ejemplo: No, I have never taken formal singing lessons, but singing is very common in my country, Georgia. For instance, my family often sang at gatherings and I joined school choirs as a child, so I practised informally since I was young.
Who do you want to sing for?
Puntuación: 45.0Sugerencia: Give a direct answer naming the person and explain why briefly and coherently. Avoid repeating phrases and hesitations.

Use a linking word such as 'because' and give a brief example of how music affects mood.

× I like thinking and, uh, I think, umm, it's uh, one of, uh, the way to express yourself, Uh, and also when I am thinking, I feel, uh, happy, uh, and I feel, uh, chewing.
✓ I like singing, and I think it is one of the ways to express yourself. Also, when I sing I feel happy and relaxed.
Original uses 'thinking' and 'chewing' incorrectly. The student meant 'singing' and likely 'relaxed' rather than 'chewing'. Use noun forms or gerunds correctly: 'like singing' and 'one of the ways' (plural). 'When I sing' is more natural than 'when I am thinking' in this context. Replace incorrect word 'chewing' with appropriate adjective 'relaxed'.
× it's uh, one of, uh, the way to express yourself
✓ it is one of the ways to express yourself
When using the phrase 'one of', the noun following must be plural: 'one of the ways' not 'one of the way'.
× and also since uh, my childhood, I always try to singing and.
✓ and since my childhood I have always tried singing.
After 'try' the correct form is either 'try to + verb' or 'try + gerund'. Use correct tense: 'have always tried' fits the ongoing habit from childhood to present.
× To be honest, I've never learned how to sing, uh, but uh, in Georgia, in my country, it's very natural to, uh, have uh, the, uh, ability thinking, uh, singing because everyone in our country can sing.
✓ To be honest, I've never had formal singing lessons, but in Georgia it is natural to be able to sing because everyone in our country can sing.
Original mixes awkward nouns and verb forms. Use present perfect 'I've never had' for life experience. 'Ability thinking, singing' is incorrect; use 'to be able to sing' or 'have the ability to sing'. Also simplify redundant words.
× I want to sing for love and the name of a musician is the Dua Lipa.
✓ I want to sing for love, and my favorite musician is Dua Lipa.
'the Dua Lipa' is incorrect because 'Dua Lipa' is a proper name and does not need 'the'. 'Name of a musician is' is awkward; use 'my favorite musician is'.
× I think she's very famous and also she's a very energetic and when I listen how I I feel.
✓ I think she is very famous and very energetic, and when I listen to her I feel inspired.
'adjective + and' incomplete: 'she's a very energetic' needs a noun (for example, 'person' or 'performer') or remove 'a'. Add 'to' after 'listen' when followed by an object: 'listen to her'. 'I feel' needs an adjective like 'inspired'.
× Yes, it's uh, the way to, uh, bring someone happiness because uh, when you, you listen to music, you also, uh, have a sense, some kind of happiness and also you uh, try to understand words, uh, and express yourself.
✓ Yes, it is a way to bring people happiness because when you listen to music you feel a kind of happiness and you try to understand the words and express yourself.
Remove unnecessary fillers and correct pluralization: 'bring people happiness' is more natural than 'bring someone happiness'. 'A sense, some kind of happiness' is redundant; use 'a kind of happiness'. Keep verbs parallel: 'understand the words and express yourself'.
