Singing— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Good content and clear reason. Improve fluency by shortening sentences, correcting word choice, and using linking words. For example, replace 'family caterings' with 'family gatherings', use 'because' once and add a linking phrase like 'so' or 'therefore'. Keep answer to 3–4 sentences.

예시: Yes, I enjoy singing, but I usually only do it with my parents or close friends because I lack confidence singing in public. I often sing at home or at family gatherings, so I’m thinking of trying karaoke one day to become more comfortable.

제안: Answer is direct and coherent. Improve vocabulary and avoid repetition (e.g., 'sing' repeated). Use a linking word like 'however' or 'so' and give a brief specific example of casual practice.

예시: No, I’ve never had formal singing lessons because I don’t plan to become a professional. Lessons seem too intensive, so instead I practice casually with friends, for example singing along at small gatherings.

제안: Good idea and example, but wording is awkward ('to expect my love'). Use natural phrase like 'to show my love'. Add linking word 'for example' is fine—reduce to 2–3 sentences and be specific about a song or moment.

예시: I like to sing for the people who matter most to me, especially my parents. For example, I often sing a short song at their birthdays to show my love, and it always makes me happy to see them smile.

제안: Solid content and reasoning. Improve collocations ('feel uplift' → 'feel uplifted'; 'chat positive feelings' is incorrect). Use clearer linking words like 'for example' and give one concise specific result of singing.

예시: Yes, I do. Singing helps express emotions, and when people sing upbeat songs they often feel uplifted and enjoy themselves. For example, I feel happier when friends sing together because music helps us connect and share positive feelings.

제안: Clear and natural answer. To improve, combine sentences for fluency and add a linking phrase like 'so' or 'as a result'. Mention a specific song or platform for more detail.

예시: Yes, I love listening to others sing, especially my best friend because she has a great voice. She often uploads performance videos on social media, so I always watch them to support her.

제안: Answer is honest but has awkward wording ('too instant' unclear). Use clearer expressions like 'too intense' or 'too demanding'. Keep it concise and add a linking word like 'therefore' or 'so'.

예시: No, I haven’t. Singing is a relaxing hobby for me, so I don’t want formal training; lessons would probably feel too intense and stressful, therefore I prefer to enjoy singing casually with friends.

× Yes, singing is my favorite, but I only sing when I'm with my parents or my friends because I lack confidence to sing in front of others.

✓ Yes, singing is my favorite, but I only sing when I'm with my parents or my friends because I lack the confidence to sing in front of others.

Missing definite article 'the' before 'confidence'. In English, 'the confidence' is used when referring to a specific ability someone has (here, the ability to sing in front of others). Suggestion: add 'the' when talking about a particular mental state or ability such as 'the confidence', e.g., 'I lack the confidence to speak in public.'

× I usually sing at home or during family caterings and maybe one day I will try karaoke to get more comfortable.

✓ I usually sing at home or during family gatherings and maybe one day I will try karaoke to become more comfortable.

Incorrect word 'caterings' used; correct is 'gatherings' for family events. Also 'to get more comfortable' is informal; 'to become more comfortable' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'gatherings' for family events and prefer 'become' for a gradual change in comfort level.

× I've never learned how to sing formally because I don't want to become a professional.

✓ I have never learned how to sing formally because I did not want to become a professional.

Tense inconsistency: 'I've never learned' (present perfect) paired with 'I don't want' (present simple) creates mismatch when referring to past choice. If you mean past reason for not taking lessons, use past 'did not want'. Suggestion: match tense by using past for past decisions: 'I have never learned... because I did not want...' Alternatively, keep present reason: 'I have never learned... because I don't want to become a professional.' Choose based on intended meaning.

× Singing lessons seem too intensive and demanding for me, so I just enjoy singing casually with friends.

✓ Singing lessons seem too intensive and demanding for me, so I just enjoy singing casually with friends.

Sentence is acceptable; 'intensive and demanding' correctly modify 'lessons' and 'casually' correctly modifies 'enjoy singing'. No correction needed. Keep sentence as is.

× I want to sing for the people who are most important to me, especially my parents.

✓ I want to sing for the people who are most important to me, especially my parents.

Pronoun usage is correct. No correction needed.

× For example, I often sing for them at their birthdays to expect my love, and it makes me happy to see them smile.

✓ For example, I often sing for them at their birthdays to express my love, and it makes me happy to see them smile.

Word 'expect' is incorrect here; correct verb is 'express' to show feelings. This is a word choice error rather than article, but fits as incorrect adjective/adverb usage? However, correction provided. Suggestion: use 'express my love' when showing affection.

× Singing is a great way to express emotions, and when a singer performs an upbeat song, people often feel uplift and enjoy themselves.

✓ Singing is a great way to express emotions, and when a singer performs an upbeat song, people often feel uplifted and enjoy themselves.

Adjective/verb form error: 'feel uplift' is incorrect; use past participle 'uplifted' to describe the state people experience. Suggestion: use 'feel uplifted' or 'feel uplifted and enjoy themselves.'

× For instance, I feel happier when I hear friends singing together because music helps us connect and chat positive feelings.

✓ For instance, I feel happier when I hear friends singing together because music helps us connect and share positive feelings.

Incorrect verb 'chat' used with 'positive feelings'; correct verb is 'share'. 'Chat' means to talk casually and does not collocate with 'positive feelings'. Suggestion: use 'share positive feelings' or 'express positive feelings.'

× Yes, of course. I enjoy listening to other people sing, especially my best friend because she sings really well.

✓ Yes, of course. I enjoy listening to other people sing, especially my best friend, because she sings really well.

Comma needed before 'because' to separate clauses and clarify meaning. Pronouns are correct. Suggestion: add comma for clarity.

× She often uploads videos of her performances on social media and I always listen to them to support her.

✓ She often uploads videos of her performances on social media and I always watch them to support her.

Incorrect verb 'listen' for videos; 'watch' is appropriate. 'Listen to them' suggests audio-only content. Suggestion: use 'watch' for videos or 'listen to' for audio recordings.

× No, I haven't. Singing for me is just a relaxing hobby that I can do for fun, so I wouldn't want to make it into formal training.

✓ No, I haven't. Singing for me is just a relaxing hobby that I can do for fun, so I don't want to make it into formal training.

Modal tense mismatch: 'I haven't' (present perfect) suggests up to now, so use present 'I don't want' rather than conditional 'wouldn't want'. Use 'wouldn't want' for hypothetical situations. Suggestion: use 'I don't want' to state current preference.

× If I took a singing class it might feel too instant and stressful and I prefer to enjoy singing casually with friends.

✓ If I took a singing class, it might feel too intense and stressful, and I would prefer to enjoy singing casually with friends.

Word 'instant' is incorrect; correct adjective is 'intense'. Also conditional sentence needs comma after clause and 'would prefer' fits second conditional expressing hypothetical preference. Suggestion: use 'intense' for something demanding and 'would prefer' in hypothetical contexts.
