Singing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and grammatical. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition and filler words, and give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Use correct verb forms and possessives (e.g., "I'm a big fan of singing").

Example: I'm a big fan of singing because it helps me relax and connect with friends and family. For example, we often sing together at gatherings, which creates happy memories and brings us closer.

Suggestion: Give a direct opening sentence and then add specific details about how you learned. Reduce hesitations and name concrete methods or resources and the effect they had on your skill.

Example: Yes. I've taught myself to sing using online tutorials, especially on YouTube and TikTok. By following step-by-step lessons and practicing daily, I improved my pitch and breathing technique.

Suggestion: Avoid awkward phrasing and be careful addressing the examiner. Use correct tense and fewer repetitions. State the person clearly, give a reason and a brief supporting detail.

Example: I'd like to sing for my mother because I haven't had the chance to perform for her. It would be meaningful to show my appreciation and make her happy.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear opinion, then explain with specific examples. Avoid vague phrases and excessive repetition. Use linking words like 'because' and 'for example' to structure your answer.

Example: Yes, I believe singing can make people happier because music lifts our mood. For example, when I'm stressed in my dorm, listening to upbeat songs or meaningful lyrics helps me feel more positive.

Suggestion: Give a direct and fluent response. Eliminate fillers and repeated words. Provide a specific reason or example of when or why you enjoy listening to others sing.

Example: Yes, I enjoy listening to other singers, especially those with a natural talent. Their performances inspire me and help me learn new techniques, such as phrasing and expression.

Suggestion: Respond clearly and use correct grammar. State whether you have taken classes, then explain your reason with a specific detail. Avoid repetition and filler sounds.

Example: No, I haven't taken formal singing classes because I prefer to learn at home where I feel comfortable. I follow online lessons and practice alone, which helps me progress at my own pace.

× I actually a big fan of singing activity.

✓ I am actually a big fan of singing.

The sentence lacks a main verb and has unnecessary word 'activity'. Insert the verb 'am' to form a complete clause and remove 'activity' because 'singing' functions as a noun here. Suggestion: use subject + be + complement: 'I am a big fan of singing.'

× I, I really relish those time, those times when I spend quality time with my friends and family and the other thing my heart out with them.

✓ I really relish those times when I spend quality time with my friends and family and pour my heart out with them.

'Those time' is incorrect number; use plural 'those times'. 'the other thing my heart out' is ungrammatical and likely intended 'pour my heart out'. Also remove redundant repeated 'I' and 'time'. Suggestion: keep plurality agreement and use correct verb phrase 'pour my heart out'.

× Well, because singing is one of my uh, hobbies, so I have learned how to sing by myself well, through, uh, those videos on the Internet, especially in YouTube and tiktok yeah uh.

✓ Because singing is one of my hobbies, I have learned how to sing by myself through videos on the Internet, especially YouTube and TikTok.

This sentence mainly needs cleanup: remove filler words and redundant conjunctions. 'in YouTube' should be 'YouTube' and 'tiktok' should be capitalized 'TikTok'. The present perfect 'have learned' is appropriate because it describes experience up to now. Suggestion: avoid unnecessary fillers and use correct platform names and prepositions.

× I really want to sing for your mom because, well, it's, it's kind of surprising, but uh, I haven't sang, I haven't sung for her once and I think I, I really good at it, but I haven't got the chance to sing for her.

✓ I really want to sing for my mom because, surprisingly, I have never sung for her, and I think I am really good at it, but I haven't had the chance to sing for her.

Multiple issues: 'your mom' is inconsistent; likely should be 'my mom'. 'I haven't sang' is wrong form — use past participle 'sung' with have: 'I have never sung'. 'I really good at it' lacks the verb 'am'. 'I haven't got the chance' is nonstandard in this register; use 'haven't had the chance'. Suggestion: use correct pronouns, present perfect for experience, include linking verb 'am'.

× I think singing can really bring happiness to people because especially when we are down in the dorms, we feel really attached to those songs, to those upbeat songs and, and and and those and the meaningful lyrics.

✓ I think singing can really bring happiness to people, especially when we are feeling down in our dorms; we feel very connected to upbeat songs and meaningful lyrics.

Use of 'are down in the dorms' is awkward; 'feeling down' is clearer. 'Attached to those songs' is better expressed as 'connected to songs'. Remove repeated fillers 'and, and and'. Use 'our dorms' for clarity. Suggestion: simplify phrasing, use 'feeling down' and 'connected to'.

× To be honest, I like listening to, uh, those who sing Well, yeah, umm, because when I, when, when I listen to them, especially, umm, uh, those who have knack for singing, I feel, really, I feel that's really good and.

✓ To be honest, I like listening to people who sing because when I listen to those who have a knack for singing, it sounds really good to me.

Original is fragmented with many fillers and lacks a proper ending. 'Those who sing Well' is malformed. Use 'people who sing' and 'have a knack for singing'. Remove repeated 'I feel' and finish the sentence. Suggestion: avoid fillers and complete the clause with a clear subject and verb.

× I actually haven't taken any singing class because I like I'd like to teach myself how to sing be how to how to sing in, how to sing at home because I feel most comfortable when I sing alone or sing or sing.

✓ I actually haven't taken any singing classes because I'd like to teach myself how to sing at home; I feel most comfortable singing alone.

Use plural 'singing classes' for general statement. Remove repeated and broken phrases 'be how to how to sing in'. Replace with 'teach myself how to sing at home'. Delete repeated 'sing or sing'. Suggestion: streamline sentence, use plural for classes, and use gerund 'singing alone' after 'comfortable'.
