Do you like singing? Why?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Be concise and avoid repetition; start with a clear topic sentence saying whether you like singing, then give one or two brief reasons with correct grammar. Reduce filler words (umm, uh) and correct negatives ("don't not"). Use linking words like "however" or "but" to contrast singing and music preference.
Example: I don't enjoy singing because I know my voice isn't strong. However, I love listening to music: every morning I start my day by playing a few favorite songs because they lift my mood.
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: Answer directly then add a specific condition or plan. Remove hesitations and fix grammar: use past participle 'learned' or 'learnt', and proper phrasing like 'I have never tried'. Provide a short reason and a clear future intention.
Example: No, I have never learned to sing because I lack confidence in my voice. However, if I get the opportunity in the future, I would definitely take singing lessons to improve.
Who do you want to sing for?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Give a direct answer then add one or two specific details about why and how. Avoid vague phrasing like 'learn a song from my father' (unclear) — clarify whether you want to sing to him or learn his songs. Keep sentences concise and use linking words.
Example: I would like to sing for my father because we share many special memories. Therefore I plan to write a short song about those memories and perform it for him on his birthday.
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Structure your answer: give a clear yes/no, then support with one specific reason and an example. Correct grammar ("scientific evidence", "lift up your mood", not "make your demotivated") and avoid repetition. Use linking words like "because" or "for example".
Example: Yes. Singing can improve mood because studies show it releases endorphins. For example, when I sing or listen to upbeat songs, I immediately feel happier and more energetic.
Do you like listening to others singing?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Give a direct answer naming one or two favorite singers, then explain briefly why with specific detail (voice, lyrics, style). Avoid trailing off and repetitions. Use linking words like "because" and correct grammar ("I have a few favorite singers").
Example: Yes, I enjoy listening to other singers. For example, I like Taha Anjung because he writes meaningful lyrics that many people can relate to, and his voice suits the emotional tone of his songs.
Have you ever taken a singing class?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Answer directly with correct tense, then give a clear reason or plan. Replace filler phrases and correct word choice ('singing class', 'join one'). Add a timeframe or specific goal for improvement to sound natural and purposeful.
Example: No, I haven't taken a singing class yet. However, when I have time I plan to join a beginner course to learn basic techniques and test my abilities.
× Umm, I don't like singing because for the fact that I know I don't not have the good voice.
✓ Umm, I don't like singing because I know I do not have a good voice.
The sentence has article errors and a double negation. 'The good voice' is incorrect; use 'a good voice' for nonspecific reference. Also 'for the fact that' is unnecessary and 'don't not' is a double negative; remove them for clarity. Suggestion: simplify to 'I know I do not have a good voice.'
× When I wake up in the morning, the first thing that I do is to listen to music and this is something I enjoy the most and I start my day with listening some good music and I love the.
✓ When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is listen to music; I enjoy that the most, and I start my day by listening to some good music.
Incorrect verb forms and preposition use. After 'the first thing I do is' use the base verb 'listen' (not 'to listen'). Use 'start my day by listening to' rather than 'start my day with listening'. Also 'listening some good music' needs the preposition 'to' or rephrase. The sentence was also incomplete; remove trailing 'and I love the.' Suggestion: break into two clearer clauses and use correct verb forms and prepositions.
× I mean as I told you that I know for the fact that I don't have good voice so I never even tried to learn singing, but if I get any chance in my life I would love to umm, learn how to sing.
✓ I mean, as I told you, I know I don't have a good voice, so I never even tried to learn singing, but if I get a chance in my life I would love to learn how to sing.
Article error: 'good voice' should be 'a good voice'. Also remove redundant phrasing 'for the fact that' and extra commas. 'Any chance' is acceptable but 'a chance' is more natural here. Suggestion: simplify and insert the indefinite article before 'good voice' and 'chance'.
× I would like to learn a song from my father because I am extremely attached with my father and I have a lot of memories with him so I would love to write a song and will definitely try my best to sing for him.
✓ I would like to learn a song for my father because I am extremely close to him and I have a lot of memories with him, so I would love to write a song and will definitely try my best to sing it for him.
Incorrect preposition and phrasing: 'attached with my father' should be 'attached to my father' or better 'close to him'. 'Learn a song from my father' is ambiguous; likely 'learn a song for my father' or 'learn one to sing for my father'. Also add object 'it' after 'sing' to clarify. Suggestion: use 'close to' and include the object 'it'.
× Yes, uh, there are certain scientific evidence which proves that singing is one of the best therapies you can have.
✓ Yes, uh, there is certain scientific evidence that proves that singing is one of the best therapies you can have.
'Evidence' is uncountable and takes singular verb 'is' rather than 'are', and 'certain evidence' (without 's') is appropriate. Also 'which proves' is better as 'that proves' in restrictive clauses. Suggestion: use singular agreement with uncountable nouns and 'that' for defining clauses.
× It can lit up your mood, it can make your demotivated.
✓ It can lift up your mood; it can stop you feeling demotivated.
Verb errors: 'lit' is past tense; use 'lift' (base form) with modal 'can'. 'Make your demotivated' is ungrammatical: use 'make you feel demotivated' or 'stop you feeling demotivated'. Suggestion: use correct base verbs after modals and proper verb phrases for feelings.
× I do have specific few favorite singers I would like to take their names or some name and uh, Taha Anjung, they are the best singers because the the lyrics they write because they are singers plus writers.
✓ I do have a few specific favorite singers I would like to name, such as Taha Anjung; they are the best because they write the lyrics themselves and are both singers and writers.
Awkward structure and repetition: 'specific few favorite singers' should be 'a few specific favorite singers' or 'a few favorites'. 'Take their names or some name' is incorrect; use 'name them'. Remove duplicate 'because' and clarify the reason. Suggestion: reorder words for natural English and remove repetitions.
× So the lyrics they write, everybody can relate to it And when you really.
✓ The lyrics they write are relatable to everyone, and when you really listen, you can connect with them.
Original fragment lacks a clear verb and ends abruptly. 'Everybody can relate to it' should be 'everyone can relate to them' (plural 'lyrics' -> 'them'). Complete the second clause by adding a verb like 'listen' and an object. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement and complete thoughts.
× No, unfortunately not yet. But if I ever get time or if I ever get any chance to join a singling class, I would love to join 1 and I would love to see how my capabilities are in terms of singing.
✓ No, unfortunately not yet. But if I ever get time or a chance to join a singing class, I would love to join one and see what my capabilities are in terms of singing.
Article and number usage: 'any chance' can be 'a chance' and 'singling' is a typo for 'singing'. Use 'one' instead of numeral '1' in sentence. Also simplify redundant phrases 'I would love to join one and see what my capabilities are.' Suggestion: correct typo, use appropriate article and words for formality.
