Singing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more fluent and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (uh), correct tense and word order, and add one specific supporting detail. Keep it under 3 sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy singing because it’s my favourite hobby. I used to sing at school concerts when I was a child, which helped me feel confident performing in front of others.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer, avoid repetitions and fillers, and provide a clear reason with one specific detail. Use correct tense and smoother sentence structure.

Example: No, I’ve never had formal singing lessons. When I was a child I had to study for seven to eight hours a day, so I didn’t have time for lessons.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use concise, grammatically correct sentences. Explain briefly why with a specific detail, avoid repetition and negative phrasing like 'don't judge'.

Example: I would like to sing for my mother because she’s very supportive. Singing for her feels comfortable and she always encourages me even if I make mistakes.

Suggestion: Provide a clear, confident topic sentence and one or two specific reasons with linking words. Eliminate fillers and awkward phrasing like 'a singing is'.

Example: Yes, I think singing can make people happy because it helps them relax and express emotions. For example, people often feel uplifted after singing along to cheerful songs.

Suggestion: Be specific about what you enjoy and give an example. Use correct verb forms and avoid repeating the same idea. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, I enjoy listening to other singers, especially pop and jazz artists. I’m a big fan of several singers and I like joining friends to sing along at karaoke nights.

Suggestion: Give a direct, grammatically correct answer and explain your reason clearly without informal or dismissive language. Offer one specific reason rather than repeating 'not interested'.

Example: No, I haven’t taken a singing class because I prefer learning by myself and practicing informally. I feel lessons would be less useful for my goals right now.

× I used to sing songs in schools.

✓ I used to sing songs at school.

Plural 'schools' is unnatural here; 'at school' refers to the general place where you studied. Use 'at school' for activities done during school time. Also 'when I was a child' requires article 'a' (see separate correction below).

× when I was child

✓ when I was a child

Missing article 'a' before 'child' is an error with noun phrase in past context. Use 'a child' to indicate your age period in the past.

× No, I never learned how to sing because uh, in when I was child.

✓ No, I never learned how to sing because when I was a child,

Unnecessary words 'in' and missing article 'a'. Use 'when I was a child' to refer to past time. 'Learned' is correctly past simple.

× So I have to study uh like 7 to 8 hours and I have no time to sing uh, to how to sing, so no.

✓ I had to study for about seven to eight hours, so I didn't have time to practice singing.

Tense should be past ('had to', 'didn't have') to match 'when I was a child'. Remove unnecessary fillers and incorrect phrase 'to how to sing'; use 'practice singing' or 'learn to sing'. Spell out numbers in writing 'seven to eight' and use 'for' with time duration.

× Who do you want to sing for? / I want to sing for my mother because I love my mother and I think if I sing a song, sing a song in front of my mother so she don't judge me with my singing skills or my voice.

✓ I want to sing for my mother because I love her, and I think if I sing a song in front of her, she won't judge my singing skills or my voice.

Use pronoun 'her' to avoid repetition. 'Don't' is incorrect with singular third-person; use 'won't' (will not) for future/conditional or 'doesn't' for present. Here conditional/future fits: 'she won't judge'. Also remove repeated phrase 'sing a song, sing a song' and fix preposition 'in front of' and object 'judge my singing skills or my voice' (no 'with').

× Umm yes, singing can bring happiness to people because uh, singing, umm, singing is a hobby and a singing is uh, very uh, good way to uh, relax and to bring happiness in anyone life.

✓ Yes, singing can bring happiness to people because it is a hobby and a very good way to relax and bring happiness to anyone's life.

Use 'it' to refer to singing, remove redundant repeats. 'A singing' is incorrect; use 'singing' (uncountable) or 'a hobby'. Use 'a very good way' and possessive 'anyone's life'. Maintain present tense and concise structure.

× Yes, I like listening to other singing because I love many singers and I was great fan of singing.

✓ Yes, I like listening to others sing because I love many singers and I was a great fan of singing.

Use 'others sing' or 'other people singing'; 'other' alone is incorrect. Missing article 'a' before 'great fan'. Keep past tense 'was' if referring to past.

× I'm great fan of singing so I like singing, listening, singing together.

✓ I'm a great fan of singing, so I enjoy singing and listening to songs with others.

Missing article 'a'. Original listing 'singing, listening, singing together' is repetitive and unclear; rephrase to 'enjoy singing and listening to songs with others' for clarity and correct collocations.

× No, I never taken a singing class because umm, I'm not umm, I'm interested in singing, but I'm not interested in taking singing class.

✓ No, I have never taken a singing class because, although I'm interested in singing, I'm not interested in taking a singing class.

'Never taken' needs an auxiliary: use present perfect 'have never taken'. Also add articles 'a singing class'. Use contrast 'although' or 'but' correctly and keep tense consistency.

× It is like, uh, wastage of time.

✓ I think it is a waste of time.

'Wastage' is less common; 'a waste of time' is the natural adjective+noun phrase. Add 'I think' or 'to me' for opinion and include article 'a'.
