Part 1

Do you like singing? Why?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Câu trả lời đi thẳng vào ý chính và có lý do phù hợp. Tuy nhiên, cần thêm dấu ngắt và cấu trúc tự nhiên hơn: dùng “singing is my cup of tea” hoặc “I enjoy singing” nhưng không cần kết hợp cả hai một cách rời rạc. “I consider that is” nên sửa thành “I consider it” hoặc tự nhiên hơn là “I think it is”. Cụm “show my characteristics” chưa tự nhiên; nên dùng “express my personality” hoặc “express myself”.

Example: Yes, I really enjoy singing because it helps me unwind after a busy day. I also see it as a good way to express my personality and emotions. I often sing along to my favorite songs when I am alone at home.

Have you ever learnt how to sing?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Câu trả lời có ý đầy đủ nhưng quá dài, lặp lại “sing/sing a song” nhiều lần và thiếu tự nhiên. “opportunities or chance” chỉ cần dùng một từ, “go to the YouTube” nên sửa thành “go on YouTube”, và “learn the sing” nên là “learn songs”. Hãy chia câu và dùng từ nối như “However” hoặc “Instead” để trình bày rõ quy trình: xem video, bắt chước ca sĩ, rồi hát theo cách riêng.

Example: No, I have never taken professional singing lessons. However, I sometimes learn songs from YouTube by listening to singers and imitating their pronunciation and vocal techniques. After that, I try to sing the songs in my own style.

Who do you want to sing for?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Bạn đã nêu được đối tượng cụ thể nhưng câu trả lời bị lặp ý và câu cuối khó hiểu. “other people that I really love” nên đổi thành “the people I love”, đồng thời không dùng đồng thời “or also” và “or...too”. Cần trả lời trực tiếp một đối tượng chính, sau đó giải thích bằng ví dụ: hát bài về gia đình cho bố mẹ hoặc bài vui cho bạn bè. Tránh lặp “sing a song about” bằng cách dùng “a song dedicated to”.

Example: I would mainly like to sing for my family, especially my parents. I might choose a heartfelt song about family because it would show them how much I appreciate their love and support. I would also enjoy singing for my close friends at a small gathering.

Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Ý tưởng chính phù hợp nhưng có nhiều lỗi từ vựng và ngữ pháp làm giảm độ rõ ràng. “help us on wild” có lẽ muốn nói “help us unwind”, “when we singing” cần sửa thành “when we sing”, và “relieve shat” không rõ nghĩa; có thể dùng “relieve stress”. Tránh lặp “can be can” và “more happy”; dùng “feel happier”. Hãy đưa ra một lý do rõ ràng và một kết quả cụ thể.

Example: Yes, I definitely think singing can make people happier. It helps us release stress and express our emotions, especially after a tiring day at work or school. Singing with friends can also create a positive atmosphere and bring people closer together.

Do you like listening to others singing?

Score: 61.0

Suggestion: Bạn trả lời đúng trọng tâm và đưa ra lý do, nhưng “besides cheers singing” và “music tests” không đúng ngữ cảnh. Có thể bạn muốn nói “apart from singing myself” và “musical tastes”. “hear other people singing” có thể dùng nhưng “listen to other people sing” tự nhiên hơn. Hãy giảm lặp “also” và bổ sung một ví dụ cụ thể, chẳng hạn nghe bạn bè hát hoặc xem các buổi biểu diễn trực tuyến.

Example: Yes, I really enjoy listening to other people sing. It helps me relax after a long day, and I can discover different musical styles and voices. I especially enjoy listening to my friends sing at small gatherings because the atmosphere is usually warm and enjoyable.

Have you ever taken a singing class?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Câu trả lời có cấu trúc tốt: trả lời hiện tại, kế hoạch tương lai và lý do. Tuy nhiên, cần sửa “some singing class” thành “some singing classes” hoặc “a singing class”, “that is helped me” thành “it would help me”, và “singing skill” thành “singing skills”. Tránh lặp “I can” và dùng “perform on a big stage” thay cho “appear in a big stage”.

Example: No, I have not taken a singing class yet. However, I would like to join one in the future because it could help me improve my vocal skills and confidence. I hope that one day I will be able to perform on a big stage in front of a large audience.

Grammar

26: Sentence structure errors

× Of course singing is my cup of tea I prefer singing because I consider that is a way to help me unwind and show my characteristics too

✓ Of course, singing is my cup of tea. I prefer singing because I consider that it is a way to help me unwind and show my characteristics too.

The clause after consider that needs its own subject. Use it before is: consider that it is a way. Separating the two independent clauses also makes the sentence structure clearer.

1: Singular and plural issue

× Well, to be honest, I haven't had any opportunities or chance to learn how to sing professionally, but I sometimes go to the YouTube to learn the sing to hear the singer sing a song and I imitate the way that they sing a song and then I sing in my way.

✓ Well, to be honest, I haven't had any opportunities or chances to learn how to sing professionally, but I sometimes go to YouTube to learn to sing. I listen to singers sing songs, imitate the way they sing, and then sing in my own way.

Opportunities and chances should have matching plural forms because they refer to more than one possible opportunity. Singers and songs are also plural when speaking generally.

17: Incorrect use of the definite article

× Well, to be honest, I haven't had any opportunities or chance to learn how to sing professionally, but I sometimes go to the YouTube to learn the sing to hear the singer sing a song and I imitate the way that they sing a song and then I sing in my way.

✓ Well, to be honest, I haven't had any opportunities or chances to learn how to sing professionally, but I sometimes go to YouTube to learn to sing. I listen to singers sing songs, imitate the way they sing, and then sing in my own way.

YouTube is normally used without the definite article when referring to the platform in general. Say go to YouTube, not go to the YouTube.

26: Sentence structure errors

× Well, it is a hard question to answer because I want to sing for other people that I really love, such as my parents, my siblings or also my friends too. But some situations such as my parents, I would like to sing a song about family and friends, I would like to sing about a song about friends.

✓ Well, it is a hard question to answer because I want to sing for people I really love, such as my parents, my siblings, and my friends. For my parents, I would like to sing a song about family, and for my friends, I would like to sing a song about friendship.

The second part contains an incomplete and unclear structure beginning with some situations such as my parents. Use a clear introductory phrase such as for my parents and connect the ideas with and.

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× Well, it is a hard question to answer because I want to sing for other people that I really love, such as my parents, my siblings or also my friends too. But some situations such as my parents, I would like to sing a song about family and friends, I would like to sing about a song about friends.

✓ Well, it is a hard question to answer because I want to sing for people I really love, such as my parents, my siblings, and my friends. For my parents, I would like to sing a song about family, and for my friends, I would like to sing a song about friendship.

We say sing a song about a topic, not sing about a song. The preposition about should describe the subject of the song, such as family or friendship.

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Of course, I consider that singing is a way to help us on wild after a hardworking day because we showed our mood and our strength through our voice when we singing.

✓ Of course, I consider that singing is a way to help us unwind after a hard day because we show our mood and our strength through our voices when we are singing.

Hard is the natural adjective in hard day. Hardworking usually describes a person, not a day. Also, voices is more suitable when referring to several people's voices.

6: Present tense issue

× Of course, I consider that singing is a way to help us on wild after a hardworking day because we showed our mood and our strength through our voice when we singing.

✓ Of course, I consider that singing is a way to help us unwind after a hard day because we show our mood and our strength through our voices when we are singing.

The answer expresses a general idea, so use the present tense show rather than the past tense showed.

10: Verb in the present participle form

× Of course, I consider that singing is a way to help us on wild after a hardworking day because we showed our mood and our strength through our voice when we singing.

✓ Of course, I consider that singing is a way to help us unwind after a hard day because we show our mood and our strength through our voices when we are singing.

The present participle singing cannot normally stand alone as the verb of the clause. It needs the auxiliary verb are: when we are singing.

4: Modal verb usage

× So happiness can be can come when we sing as we can relieve shat and make us feel more happy.

✓ So happiness can come when we sing, as we can relieve shat and make us feel happier.

Do not use two modal or auxiliary forms together in can be can come. Use the single modal structure can come.

25: Comparative and superlative errors

× So happiness can be can come when we sing as we can relieve shat and make us feel more happy.

✓ So happiness can come when we sing, as we can relieve shat and make us feel happier.

Happy has the irregular comparative form happier. In this sentence, happier is more natural than more happy.

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Of course, besides cheers singing, I also love to hear other people singing because I think that it is a good way to unwind after a long, hardworking day and also we can share our music tests with other people too.

✓ Of course, besides cheerful singing, I also love to hear other people singing because I think that it is a good way to unwind after a long, hard day, and we can share our music tests with other people too.

Cheerful is the adjective needed to describe singing. Cheers is normally a noun or a verb and cannot modify singing in this way. Hard is also the appropriate adjective for describing a demanding day.

14: Incorrect use of quantifiers

× Well not yet, but in the future I want to take some singing class too because I think that is helped me boost my singing skill and I hope that one day I can I can I can appear in a big stage and sing aloud.

✓ Well, not yet, but in the future I want to take some singing classes because I think that it will help me improve my singing skills, and I hope that one day I can appear on a big stage and sing aloud.

Some is used with plural countable nouns, so use classes rather than class. Alternatively, you could say a singing class.

7: Future tense issue

× Well not yet, but in the future I want to take some singing class too because I think that is helped me boost my singing skill and I hope that one day I can I can I can appear in a big stage and sing aloud.

✓ Well, not yet, but in the future I want to take some singing classes because I think that it will help me improve my singing skills, and I hope that one day I can appear on a big stage and sing aloud.

The speaker is talking about the future benefit of taking singing classes, so use will help. The form is it will help, not is helped.

11: Incorrect use of prepositions

× Well not yet, but in the future I want to take some singing class too because I think that is helped me boost my singing skill and I hope that one day I can I can I can appear in a big stage and sing aloud.

✓ Well, not yet, but in the future I want to take some singing classes because I think that it will help me improve my singing skills, and I hope that one day I can appear on a big stage and sing aloud.

The usual preposition with stage is on: appear on a stage. In is not natural in this expression.
