Have you ever learnt how to sing?

Who do you want to sing for?

Well, surely, I think seeing can definitely bring happiness to people. On one hand, I think seeing can be a very efficient way to release 1's work pressure, and on the other hand, the lighters can also make people to forget all the burdens they have in their life and live a happier life.

× Well, yes, I'm kind of saying, and for that reason, personally, I think singing is a very efficient way to release my pressure.
✓ Well, yes, I'm kind of singing, and for that reason, personally, I think singing is a very efficient way to release my pressure.
The phrase 'I'm kind of saying' is incorrect because 'saying' is not the intended verb here. The student likely meant 'singing' to express their interest in the activity. Using the correct verb form clarifies the meaning.
× And socially, I think when you and your friends go to the karaoke and sing is a very quick way to help you find your own friendship bond.
✓ And socially, I think when you and your friends go to karaoke and sing, it is a very quick way to help you find your own friendship bond.
The phrase 'go to the karaoke' is incorrect because 'karaoke' is an uncountable noun here and does not require the definite article 'the'. Also, the sentence was missing a subject for the second clause; adding 'it' clarifies the sentence structure.
× Have you ever learnt how to sing?
✓ Have you ever learned how to sing?
'Learnt' is a British English past participle form, while 'learned' is the American English equivalent. Since the explanation is in American English, 'learned' is preferred for consistency.
× I think it might be a little bit pitiful for me that I never accept any professional singing training.
✓ I think it might be a little bit pitiful for me that I have never received any professional singing training.
The verb 'accept' is not appropriate here; 'receive' is the correct verb to use with 'training'. Also, the present perfect tense 'have never received' is suitable to express an experience up to now.
× Some of them even called me Chinese Adele.
✓ Some of them have even called me the Chinese Adele.
Adding 'have' forms the present perfect tense, which is appropriate for experiences up to now. Also, adding the definite article 'the' before 'Chinese Adele' is correct because it refers to a specific nickname.
× I might sing for them to celebrate their birthday.
✓ I might sing for them to celebrate their birthdays.
Since 'them' refers to multiple friends, 'birthdays' should be plural to match the plural pronoun.
× And when some of my friends graduate from university, I'm a synonym to celebrate for their graduation.
✓ And when some of my friends graduate from university, I sing to celebrate their graduation.
The phrase 'I'm a synonym to celebrate' is incorrect and unclear. The correct expression is 'I sing to celebrate' to convey the intended meaning clearly.
× Well, surely, I think seeing can definitely bring happiness to people.
✓ Well, surely, I think singing can definitely bring happiness to people.
The word 'seeing' is a typo or mishearing; the correct word is 'singing' to match the context of the conversation.
× On one hand, I think seeing can be a very efficient way to release 1's work pressure, and on the other hand, the lighters can also make people to forget all the burdens they have in their life and live a happier life.
✓ On one hand, I think singing can be a very efficient way to release one's work pressure, and on the other hand, the lights can also help people forget all the burdens they have in their life and live a happier life.
'Seeing' should be 'singing' to fit the context. '1's' is a typo and should be 'one's' to indicate possession. 'Lighters' is incorrect; 'lights' is the correct word to refer to small light sources at events. Also, 'make people to forget' should be 'help people forget' because 'make' is followed by the base verb without 'to'.
