Singing— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence (Yes/No) then give one or two specific reasons using correct grammar and vocabulary. Avoid repetition and incorrect word forms (e.g., ‘music’, ‘singing’). Use one linking word if adding a reason.

Exemplo: No, I don’t enjoy singing because I don’t feel confident in my voice. For example, I prefer listening to music and appreciating the melodies rather than singing aloud.

Sugestão: Provide a clear past experience with correct tense and fewer errors. Begin with a direct topic sentence, then give brief supporting details and a reason. Use linking words like 'however' to show contrast.

Exemplo: Yes, I took a children’s music class when I was in kindergarten. However, the teacher said I wasn’t very good, so I stopped taking lessons after a short time.

Sugestão: Answer directly with a conditional structure and explain briefly why. Correct grammar (e.g., ‘I would like to sing for my mother’), avoid redundancy and keep sentences short. Use one linking phrase like 'because' or 'to show' for clarity.

Exemplo: If I had the chance to sing in public, I would sing for my mother because she has supported me my whole life and I want to show my gratitude.

Sugestão: Give a direct yes/no answer, then explain with a clear reason and a specific example. Use correct word choice (e.g., ‘singing’, ‘form of art’, ‘emotional value’) and a linking word like 'because' or 'for example'.

Exemplo: Yes, I think singing can make people happy because it expresses emotions and connects listeners. For example, a cheerful song can lift someone’s mood during a difficult day.

Sugestão: Respond directly and add a concise, specific detail. Use natural verbs (e.g., ‘enjoy listening to’), correct nouns and prepositions. Mention when or why you do this to enrich the answer.

Exemplo: Yes, I enjoy listening to other people sing, and I sometimes record performances on my phone so I can listen to them later when I’m alone.

Sugestão: Keep the answer factual and avoid negative or exaggerated words like 'depressing'. Use past tense consistently and give one or two short details about the experience and how it made you feel. Link feelings with a small reason.

Exemplo: Yes, I took a basic singing class when I was in kindergarten, but I didn’t continue because I felt shy and uncomfortable singing in front of others.

× Well to be honest, I hate singing because I have no talent of singing.

✓ Well, to be honest, I hate singing because I have no talent for singing.

Use the phrase 'talent for' not 'talent of' before a gerund. 'For' is the correct preposition collocating with 'talent' when followed by an activity in gerund form. Also add a comma after 'Well' for natural pacing.

× I prefer re admiring musics rather than saying it out loud.

✓ I prefer admiring music rather than singing out loud.

Use 'admiring' (gerund) without 're'. 'Music' is an uncountable noun so not 'musics'. Use 'singing out loud' instead of 'saying it out loud' because 'sing' is the correct verb for producing song. This corrects word choice and noun number.

× When I was in kindergarten my mother brought me to a a activity club for Childs to learn how to sing and play pianos.

✓ When I was in kindergarten, my mother brought me to an activity club for children to learn how to sing and play the piano.

Use past tense 'brought' is fine but fix articles: 'an activity club' (not 'a a activity'), plural 'children' not 'Childs', and 'the piano' or 'play piano' (uncountable) rather than 'play pianos'. Add a comma after the introductory clause for clarity.

× But the teacher told my mother I have no talent for this area and then I gave up.

✓ But the teacher told my mother that I had no talent for this area, so I gave up.

Reported speech after 'told' requires backshifting to past tense: 'have' -> 'had'. Use 'that' (optional) to introduce the reported clause. Replace 'and then' with 'so' for cause-effect and add a comma.

× If I got an opportunity to to sing out loud in public, I would like to sing for my mother because my mother raised me for about 25 years and I really appreciate and I want to impress.

✓ If I got an opportunity to sing out loud in public, I would like to sing for my mother because she raised me for about 25 years and I really appreciate her and want to impress her.

Use 'she' to avoid repetition; 'appreciate' requires an object ('her'). Also 'want to impress' needs an object 'her'. Remove duplicate 'to'. This sentence uses a hypothetical conditional correctly ('If I got..., I would...').

× My sincerely thankful to her.

✓ I am sincerely thankful to her.

Sentence missing verb 'am'. Use 'I am sincerely thankful to her' or better 'I am sincerely grateful to her'. 'Sincerely' is an adverb modifying 'thankful'.

× Yes, of course saying singing is one of the basic art.

✓ Yes, of course, singing is one of the basic arts.

Remove 'saying'. 'Singing' is the correct gerund. Use plural 'arts' when saying 'one of the basic arts'. Also add commas around 'of course'.

× It can bring happiness in, provide emotional values to public.

✓ It can bring happiness and provide emotional value to the public.

Do not use 'in' after 'bring happiness'. Use 'and' to connect verbs. 'Emotional value' is uncountable here, not 'values', and use the definite article 'the public' when referring to people in general.

× Yes, I like to admire the singing and record some music by my cell phone and play it while I'm alone.

✓ Yes, I like listening to others sing and recording some music on my cell phone to play when I'm alone.

Use natural collocations: 'like listening to others sing' or 'admiring singing' is less natural. Use 'recording' to match parallel structure and 'on my cell phone' is the correct preposition. 'To play when I'm alone' is clearer than 'while I'm alone'.

× Yes, in kindergarten I took some old school singing class but the result was depressing.

✓ Yes, in kindergarten I took some old-school singing classes, but the result was disappointing.

Use plural 'classes' if plural intended. 'Old school' as adjective should be hyphenated. 'Depressing' describes something that causes sadness; 'disappointing' better describes an unsatisfactory result.

× I have no talent to sing and I felt embarrassed when singing in public and scared.

✓ I had no talent for singing, and I felt embarrassed and scared when singing in public.

Backshift present 'have' to past 'had' to match past context. Use 'talent for singing' (preposition). Combine feelings with parallel structure 'embarrassed and scared' and place the time phrase 'when singing in public' at the end for clarity.
