Part 1
考官
Do you like singing? Why?
考生
No, I do not like singing. This is because I'm not very confident in my singing abilities. I don't feel strong enough to stand in front of a bunch of people and sing, so I really don't feel like singing much.
考官
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
考生
No, I haven't ever taken any professional or non professional training for singing. I've always believed that singing is not a very important part in my life. I rather prefer listening to music and vibing to it.
考官
Who do you want to sing for?
考生
If I would like to sing, I'll sing a casual song. Uh, for my family. Uh, that's, that is because I'm really close to them and they are the people that I'm the best, comfortable and relaxed with, so I wouldn't have any fear of getting judged in front of them.
考官
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
考生
Yes, of course. I think singing can bring happiness to people in so many ways. Some people just sing during the shower or some people sing while they are driving just to make their mood better when they are feeling low or depressed.
Do you like singing? Why?
分數: 75.0建議: Your answer is clear and directly addresses the question, which is good. However, try to avoid redundancy by combining similar ideas and use linking words to make your response more coherent. For example, instead of repeating 'I don't feel strong enough' and 'I really don't feel like singing much', you could say 'I lack confidence in my singing abilities, so I prefer not to sing in front of others.'
範例: No, I do not like singing because I lack confidence in my singing abilities, so I prefer not to sing in front of others.
Have you ever learnt how to sing?

Who do you want to sing for?
分數: 70.0建議: Your answer is relevant but contains some hesitations and informal fillers like 'Uh'. Try to avoid these to sound more fluent. Also, improve sentence structure by combining ideas and using linking words such as 'because' and 'so'. For example, 'If I were to sing, I would sing a casual song for my family because I am very close to them and feel comfortable and relaxed, so I wouldn't fear being judged.'
範例: If I were to sing, I would sing a casual song for my family because I am very close to them and feel comfortable and relaxed, so I wouldn't fear being judged.
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
分數: 85.0建議: Your answer is positive and provides specific examples, which is good. To improve, try to use more varied vocabulary and linking words like 'for instance' or 'such as' to introduce examples. Also, avoid repeating 'some people' twice; instead, use synonyms or restructure the sentence.
範例: Yes, of course. Singing can bring happiness to people in many ways. For instance, some sing in the shower, while others sing while driving to lift their mood when feeling low or depressed.
× I rather prefer listening to music and vibing to it.
✓ I prefer listening to music and vibing to it.
The phrase 'rather prefer' is redundant because 'prefer' already expresses a preference. Using both together is incorrect. The correct form is simply 'I prefer'. This improves clarity and grammatical correctness.
× If I would like to sing, I'll sing a casual song.
✓ If I liked to sing, I'd sing a casual song.
In conditional sentences, 'if' clauses should not use 'would'. Instead, the past tense is used in the 'if' clause to express hypothetical situations. Therefore, 'If I would like' should be 'If I liked', and the main clause uses 'I'd' (I would). This corrects the conditional sentence structure.
× they are the people that I'm the best, comfortable and relaxed with, so I wouldn't have any fear of getting judged in front of them.
✓ they are the people with whom I am the most comfortable and relaxed, so I wouldn't have any fear of being judged in front of them.
The phrase 'I'm the best, comfortable and relaxed with' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'I am the most comfortable and relaxed with them'. Also, 'getting judged' should be 'being judged' to use the correct passive form. Additionally, 'that' should be replaced with 'with whom' for proper relative pronoun usage with prepositions.
