× No, I don't like singing these days because I think I'm not confident in my voice.
✓ No, I don't like singing these days because I don't think I'm confident in my voice.
The original sentence uses 'I think I'm not confident', which is less natural in English. The correct form is 'I don't think I'm confident' to express lack of confidence in the present tense.
× Instead, I prefer listening to music when I was afraid because it can always help me to relax and unwind.
✓ Instead, I prefer listening to music when I am afraid because it can always help me to relax and unwind.
The phrase 'when I was afraid' incorrectly uses past tense 'was' while the context implies a habitual or current feeling. The correct tense is present 'am' to match the habitual preference.
× No, I never learned how to sing because I think I'm not very talented in singing.
✓ No, I have never learned how to sing because I think I'm not very talented in singing.
The use of simple past 'never learned' is less appropriate here. Present perfect 'have never learned' is better to indicate experience up to now.
× Of course, I believe singing can brings people happiness.
✓ Of course, I believe singing can bring people happiness.
After modal verb 'can', the base form of the verb should be used. 'Brings' is incorrect; it should be 'bring'.
× Uh, for example, my husband is people who really enjoy singing and every time he sings it's uh, creates a quite relaxing environment and, and I can also feel the happiness.
✓ Uh, for example, my husband is a person who really enjoys singing and every time he sings, it creates a quite relaxing environment and I can also feel the happiness.
'My husband is people' is incorrect because 'people' is plural. It should be 'a person'. Also, 'enjoy' should be 'enjoys' to agree with singular subject 'person'. The phrase 'it's creates' is incorrect; it should be 'it creates'.
