Part 1
Examinador
Do you like singing? Why?
Candidato
Actually, I don't really enjoy singing because I usually feel embarrassed whenever I need to sing out aloud in front of others. It would make me very uncomfortable to open up my mouth and perform. So I barely take part in any singing activities in daily life.
Examinador
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Candidato
I used to be a part of the choir lessons in my elementary school. I was in the base part and we frequently took part in many public shows where training was extremely tough. My choir teacher didn't get along well with me, and those exhausting practices gradually made me tired of singing.
Examinador
Who do you want to sing for?
Candidato
To be honest, I have no desire for singing at all, but if I really have to sing for someone, it would definitely be myself since I hope to sing freely without caring about others people's judgments or opinions.
Examinador
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
Candidato
Absolutely, I believe so because my grandma is a person who really into singing. She always tells me that my sons will lift people's moods. Besides, a scene can regulate breathing, which helps people relax both physically and mentally after tired days.
Examinador
Do you like listening to others singing?
Candidato
Yes, of course, I enjoy listening to other people sing because it's very pleasurable experience and I love going to the live concerts. The emotionally moving atmosphere and the singer's impressive vocal techniques make the performance unforgettable.
Examinador
Have you ever taken a singing class?
Candidato
Yes, for sure. I used to sing in my elementary school choir where I sang in the base section and we often performing many public concerts. However, the rehearsal were very tough and my teacher didn't get along well with me, so the constant pressure gradually made me lose interest in singing.
Do you like singing? Why?
Puntuación: 78.0Sugerencia: Your answer is clear and natural, but a bit repetitive. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two concise supporting reasons with a linking word. Reduce redundant phrases (e.g. “open up my mouth and perform” repeats the idea of singing).
Ejemplo: No, I don't really enjoy singing. I often feel embarrassed when I have to sing aloud in front of other people, so I avoid singing in public. For example, I decline invitations to karaoke because I worry about being judged.
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Puntuación: 82.0Sugerencia: Good structure and specific details, but watch grammar (e.g. “bass part”, “choir teacher didn’t get along with me” is okay) and avoid overly long sentences. Use linking words to show cause and effect clearly.
Ejemplo: Yes, I learnt singing in elementary school when I joined the choir as a bass. We performed in many public shows and the rehearsals were very demanding, so over time I lost interest because the constant pressure was exhausting.
Who do you want to sing for?
Puntuación: 80.0Sugerencia: Clear and honest. Improve conciseness and correct small errors (e.g. “other people's” not “others people's”). Use a linking word to present the hypothetical clearly.
Ejemplo: Honestly, I don't want to sing for anyone, but if I had to, I would sing for myself because I want the freedom to sing without worrying about other people's judgments.
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Content is relevant but has several language errors and unclear phrases (e.g. “really into singing”, “my sons will lift people's moods”, “a scene can regulate breathing”). Make points specific and correct vocabulary, and link ideas logically.
Ejemplo: Absolutely. For example, my grandmother loves singing and says it lifts people's moods. Also, singing regulates breathing and can help people relax physically and mentally after a stressful day.
Do you like listening to others singing?
Puntuación: 88.0Sugerencia: Strong, fluent answer with good details. Fix small grammar points (e.g. “a very pleasurable experience”, “live concerts”). Optionally shorten slightly to avoid redundancy and use one linking word for flow.

Have you ever taken a singing class?
Puntuación: 75.0Sugerencia: Answer repeats earlier content; try to avoid repetition and correct grammar (e.g. “bass section”, “we often performed”, “the rehearsals were”). Keep the response concise and focus on one clear example or consequence.
Ejemplo: Yes. I joined my elementary school choir and sang in the bass section, performing at public concerts. The rehearsals were very tough and the pressure eventually made me lose interest in singing.
× Actually, I don't really enjoy singing because I usually feel embarrassed whenever I need to sing out aloud in front of others.
✓ Actually, I don't really enjoy singing because I usually feel embarrassed whenever I need to sing out loud in front of others.
Use 'out loud' not 'out aloud'. 'Out loud' is the correct adverbial phrase meaning audibly; 'aloud' is an adverb but 'out aloud' is ungrammatical. Replace with 'out loud'. Suggestion: Use 'out loud' or simply 'sing in front of others'.
× It would make me very uncomfortable to open up my mouth and perform.
✓ It would make me very uncomfortable to open my mouth and perform.
The phrase 'open up my mouth' is informal and redundant; 'open my mouth' is concise and more natural in this context. This is a stylistic correction to present participle phrasing. Suggestion: prefer 'open my mouth'.
× So I barely take part in any singing activities in daily life.
✓ So I barely take part in any singing activities in my daily life.
Missing determiner 'my' before 'daily life'. 'Daily life' typically takes a possessive adjective when referring to one's routine. This fixes noun phrase structure by adding the appropriate determiner.
× I used to be a part of the choir lessons in my elementary school.
✓ I used to be part of the choir in my elementary school.
'Be a part of the choir lessons' is awkward: 'choir' is the correct noun (not 'choir lessons') and 'be part of' is idiomatic. Past tense 'used to' is correct; this adjusts noun choice and article use.
× I was in the base part and we frequently took part in many public shows where training was extremely tough.
✓ I was in the bass part and we frequently took part in many public shows where the training was extremely tough.
Use 'bass' (low voice part) not 'base'. Also add definite article 'the' before 'training' to specify it. This corrects word choice and article usage.
× My choir teacher didn't get along well with me, and those exhausting practices gradually made me tired of singing.
✓ My choir teacher didn't get along with me, and those exhausting practices gradually made me tired of singing.
Phrase 'get along well with me' is acceptable but 'get along with me' is more natural here; this is minor wording. No tense issue.
× To be honest, I have no desire for singing at all, but if I really have to sing for someone, it would definitely be myself since I hope to sing freely without caring about others people's judgments or opinions.
✓ To be honest, I have no desire to sing at all, but if I really had to sing for someone, it would definitely be for myself since I hope to sing freely without caring about other people's judgments or opinions.
Use 'desire to sing' not 'desire for singing' (verb infinitive preferred). Conditional 'if I really had to' fits hypothetical better than 'have to'. Use 'for myself' and 'other people's' (not 'others people's'). This corrects pronoun and noun phrase usage and conditional form.
× Absolutely, I believe so because my grandma is a person who really into singing.
✓ Absolutely, I believe so because my grandma is a person who is really into singing.
Missing auxiliary verb 'is' before 'really into singing'. 'be into' requires 'be' plus 'into'. Add 'is' to correct sentence structure.
× She always tells me that my sons will lift people's moods.
✓ She always tells me that songs will lift people's moods.
'My sons' is likely a typo for 'songs'. 'Songs' fits context and corrects pronoun/noun error. If 'my sons' was intended, meaning differs; here 'songs' makes sense.
× Besides, a scene can regulate breathing, which helps people relax both physically and mentally after tired days.
✓ Besides, singing can regulate breathing, which helps people relax both physically and mentally after tiring days.
'A scene' is incorrect in context; likely 'singing' or 'a song'. Also 'tired days' is awkward; 'tiring days' or 'a tiring day' is better. Change to 'singing' and 'tiring days' to correct noun and adjective usage.
× Yes, of course, I enjoy listening to other people sing because it's very pleasurable experience and I love going to the live concerts.
✓ Yes, of course, I enjoy listening to other people sing because it's a very pleasurable experience and I love going to live concerts.
Missing article 'a' before 'very pleasurable experience'. Also remove definite article 'the' before 'live concerts' unless referring to specific concerts; 'going to live concerts' is general. This fixes article errors.
× The emotionally moving atmosphere and the singer's impressive vocal techniques make the performance unforgettable.
✓ The emotionally moving atmosphere and the singer's impressive vocal technique make the performance unforgettable.
Use singular 'vocal technique' as an uncountable collective concept; 'techniques' could be acceptable but 'vocal technique' is more natural. This refines adjective/noun agreement.
× Yes, for sure. I used to sing in my elementary school choir where I sang in the base section and we often performing many public concerts.
✓ Yes, for sure. I used to sing in my elementary school choir where I sang in the bass section and we often performed many public concerts.
Use 'bass' not 'base'. 'We often performing' is incorrect verb form; should be past tense 'we often performed' to match 'used to' context. This corrects word choice and past tense verb form.
× However, the rehearsal were very tough and my teacher didn't get along well with me, so the constant pressure gradually made me lose interest in singing.
✓ However, the rehearsals were very tough and my teacher didn't get along with me, so the constant pressure gradually made me lose interest in singing.
'Rehearsal' should be plural 'rehearsals' to match 'were'. Also drop 'well' after 'get along' for natural phrasing. This fixes noun-number agreement and phrasing.
