Singing— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is somewhat natural but a bit unclear and redundant. Try to be more direct and concise. For example, start with a clear topic sentence stating your liking for singing, then briefly explain when you sing. Avoid phrases like "I won't say how much of a good singer" which can confuse the listener.

Exemplo: Yes, I like singing because it helps me relax. I usually sing quietly to myself, especially when I'm feeling down.

Sugestão: Your answer is clear and relevant but could be improved by avoiding repetition and adding a linking phrase to make it more coherent. Also, you can add a reason why you want to learn singing to enrich your answer.

Exemplo: No, I haven't learned how to sing yet, but if I get the chance, I would love to learn because singing brings me joy.

Sugestão: Your answer is heartfelt and specific, which is good. However, it is a bit long and could be more concise. Use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly and avoid repeating phrases like "if given the opportunity."

Exemplo: I want to sing for my mom because she once asked me to sing for her when she was sick. Therefore, I hope to learn singing so I can fulfill that promise.

Sugestão: Your answer is relevant but could be improved by using more precise vocabulary and clearer linking words. Also, explain the example more clearly to show how singing brings happiness.

Exemplo: Yes, I believe singing brings happiness. For instance, when I sing to my mom, she feels joyful and emotionally connected to the music.

× Yes, I like singing, but I won't say how much of a good singer because I sing so little to myself and whenever I'm depressed.

✓ Yes, I like singing, but I won't say how much of a good singer I am because I sing so little to myself and whenever I'm depressed.

The original sentence lacks the verb 'am' after 'how much of a good singer', which is necessary to complete the predicate. Modal verb 'won't' is correctly used, but the sentence is incomplete without the verb 'am'. Adding 'I am' clarifies the meaning and corrects the sentence structure.

× Have you ever learnt how to sing?

✓ Have you ever learned how to sing?

The verb 'learnt' is a past tense form commonly used in British English, while 'learned' is the past participle form more common in American English. Since the question uses present perfect tense ('have you ever'), the past participle 'learned' is appropriate here to maintain consistency and correctness in American English.

× I would love to sing for my mom because on her sick bed she asked me if I could sing for her and I promised her that one day I would.

✓ I would love to sing for my mom because while she was on her sick bed, she asked me if I could sing for her and I promised her that one day I would.

The phrase 'on her sick bed' is missing a temporal preposition to indicate the time context. Adding 'while she was' clarifies the timing of the action. Also, 'on her sick bed' is acceptable but 'while she was on her sick bed' is more natural and grammatically correct in this context.

× So if given the opportunity I would love to learn how to sing and definitely sing to her.

✓ So if given the opportunity, I would love to learn how to sing and definitely sing for her.

The preposition 'to' is less appropriate when referring to performing or singing for someone; 'sing for her' is the correct collocation. Also, a comma after 'opportunity' improves sentence clarity.

× Yes, without doubt singing can bring happiness to people.

✓ Yes, without a doubt, singing can bring happiness to people.

The phrase 'without doubt' is missing the article 'a' to form the idiomatic expression 'without a doubt'. Adding commas improves readability.

× For example, my mom, whenever I sing to her, she's always happy.

✓ For example, my mom, whenever I sing for her, she's always happy.

When referring to performing or singing for someone, the correct preposition is 'for' rather than 'to'. 'Sing for her' is the proper collocation in this context.

× She just wants to go with the emotion.

✓ She just wants to go along with the emotion.

The phrase 'go with the emotion' is less idiomatic. The correct expression is 'go along with the emotion', meaning to follow or be in harmony with the feeling. This correction improves naturalness and clarity.
