Do you like singing? Why?

範例: Yes, I quite enjoy singing because it helps people express emotions that are sometimes difficult to articulate.
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
分數: 70.0建議: Your answer is relevant but could be improved by using more natural phrasing and linking your ideas better. Instead of 'learned about how to do beats,' you could say 'learned how to keep rhythm and sing melodies.' Also, avoid negative self-assessment without elaboration.

× Yeah, I quite enjoy singing. I I think singing can help people express some emotions and cannot be articulate sometimes.
✓ Yeah, I quite enjoy singing. I think singing can help people express some emotions that cannot be articulated sometimes.
The original sentence lacks a clear subject for 'cannot be articulate sometimes'. Adding 'that' and changing 'articulate' to 'articulated' clarifies the meaning and corrects the sentence structure.
× Yes, I've learned about how to do beats and sing with melodies in Junior School.
✓ Yes, I learned how to do beats and sing with melodies in Junior School.
The phrase 'I've learned about how to do beats' is awkward; 'learned how to do beats' is more natural. Also, 'I've learned' (present perfect) is less appropriate than simple past 'I learned' because the action happened at a specific time in the past (Junior School).
× Well it's little bit petty to say it actually, but I want to sing for my ex-boyfriend because I want him to know, you know those agony feelings and I had because of the break up.
✓ Well, it's a little bit petty to say it actually, but I want to sing for my ex-boyfriend because I want him to know, you know, those agony feelings I had because of the breakup.
The sentence is missing the article 'a' before 'little bit'. Also, 'and I had' is awkward; removing 'and' improves clarity. 'Break up' should be one word 'breakup' as a noun. Adding commas improves readability.
