Singing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Improve grammar and clarity: say a clear topic sentence and give one supporting detail. Use correct tense and avoid redundancy. For example, say why it makes you happy and add a brief detail about when or how you sing.

例: Yes, I enjoy singing because it makes me feel happy and relaxed. For example, I often sing while cooking or commuting, which lifts my mood after a long day.

提案: Answer the question directly and relevantly. The examiner asked about learning to sing, not dancing. If you have not learned, say so and give a brief reason or experience. Keep it concise and use correct verb forms.

例: No, I have never had formal singing lessons, but I have practiced by watching online tutorials and singing along to my favorite songs.

提案: Be direct and natural: confirm you sing for yourself and expand with a brief reason or context. Use a topic sentence and one supporting detail for clarity.

例: I prefer to sing for myself because it helps me relax and express my emotions, although sometimes I sing for close friends at small gatherings.

提案: Improve grammar, coherence and specificity. Start with a clear topic sentence, use one linking word, and give a concrete reason or example rather than a vague generalization.

例: Yes, I believe singing can make people happier because music can evoke positive memories and emotions; for instance, singing with friends often boosts our mood and creates a sense of belonging.

提案: Clarify who or what you mean and use accurate vocabulary. If you mean a singer or music from around the world, state that and give a short reason. Use one or two supporting details and correct prepositions.

例: Yes, I enjoy listening to other singers, especially artists like [artist name], and I also like music from around the world because different styles introduce new rhythms and emotions.

提案: Although the answer is direct and acceptable, you can enrich it slightly by adding a reason or future plan to expand the response within the 1–2 supporting sentences limit.

例: No, I haven't taken a singing class, but I plan to join a beginner course next year to improve my technique and breath control.

× Yes, I like singing because it's made me happy.

✓ Yes, I like singing because it makes me happy.

The student used 'it's made me happy' (it has made me happy) which is awkward here. The intended meaning is a general, ongoing fact about singing, so the simple present 'makes' is correct. Use present simple for habitual or general truths. Suggestion: use 'it makes me happy' for current, repeated effects.

× Yes, I dance.

✓ Yes, I have learned some singing/Yes, I have taken singing lessons.

The question asks about learning how to sing. The answer 'Yes, I dance.' is off-topic and likely a confusion between 'dance' and 'sing'. This is a sentence structure/meaning error. Correct to a form that answers the question: use present perfect 'have learned' or 'have taken' to indicate past experience relevant to the present.

× No, I want to sing for me.

✓ No, I want to sing for myself.

After a preposition like 'for', use an object pronoun. 'Me' is grammatical but more natural in this reflexive sense is 'myself' to indicate performing for one's own enjoyment. Use 'myself' when the subject and object refer to the same person.

× I yes, I think singing can bring happiness to people because everyone likes music, because it's made everyone happy.

✓ Yes, I think singing can bring happiness to people because everyone likes music and it makes people happy.

The original has an awkward 'I yes' and repeated 'because'. Also 'it's made everyone happy' is awkward; use present simple 'it makes people happy' for general truths. Remove redundancy and use 'and' to connect clauses.

× Yes, I like listening to Arasim because I like all over the world songs.

✓ Yes, I like listening to Arasim because I like songs from all over the world.

The phrase 'all over the world songs' has incorrect word order and missing preposition. Use 'songs from all over the world' to show origin. Also 'listening to Arasim' assumes a name; keep 'to' with 'listening'. Rearrange word order for natural English.

× No.

✓ No.

The answer 'No.' to 'Have you ever taken a singing class?' is grammatically correct as a short negative response. If more detail is desired, the student could add: 'No, I haven't.' or 'No, I haven't taken one.'
