Do you like singing? Why?
分數: 65.0建議: Your answer is generally clear but could be more natural and concise. Avoid redundancy such as 'I do love' and 'I like to listen to my beautiful voice' which sounds unnatural.

× So I like to listen to my beautiful voice and expressing my feelings.
✓ So I like to listen to my beautiful voice and express my feelings.
After 'like to', the verb should be in its base form, not the '-ing' form. Therefore, 'expressing' should be corrected to 'express' to maintain parallel structure and correct verb form.
× I don't think so. Umm I didn't learn singing probably, but we have some singing class umm music lesson in schools back then.
✓ I don't think so. Umm I probably didn't learn singing, but we had some singing classes, umm music lessons in schools back then.
The sentence refers to past events, so the verb 'have' should be in past tense 'had'. Also, 'class' should be plural 'classes' to match 'some'. The adverb 'probably' is better placed before the verb for clarity.
× But it's not like prioritizing singing.
✓ But it's not like prioritizing singing.
This sentence is somewhat unclear but grammatically acceptable. No correction needed based on the provided grammar problem types.
× It's basically showing opera video for you.
✓ It basically shows opera videos to you.
The sentence needs a subject-verb agreement correction and proper preposition. 'Showing' should be 'shows' to agree with 'It'. 'Opera video' should be plural 'opera videos' to match general meaning. The preposition 'for' should be 'to' when indicating the recipient of an action.
× I want to sing for my lover.
✓ I want to sing to my lover.
The verb 'sing' is typically followed by the preposition 'to' when indicating the person who is the recipient of the singing.
× I have a favorite song called Selfless and from the Strokes, so it's basically just showing my love and affection to him.
✓ I have a favorite song called 'Selfless' by The Strokes, so it's basically just showing my love and affection to him.
The band name 'The Strokes' requires the definite article 'The' capitalised as part of the name. Also, 'from' should be 'by' when indicating the artist of a song. Quotation marks are added around the song title for clarity.
× Yes, of course, singing is always a good form of art and the best way to relax and is also a channel to bring happiness.
✓ Yes, of course, singing is always a good form of art, the best way to relax, and also a channel to bring happiness.
The sentence lists three qualities of singing and needs proper parallel structure with commas and conjunctions. The repeated 'and' before 'is also' is unnecessary and disrupts flow.
