Singing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your response more natural and concise with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Use correct tense and smoother phrasing (avoid fragmented clauses like “the echo was like so good”).

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy singing, especially when I shower because the bathroom acoustics create a nice echo. It feels similar to singing in a small karaoke room, and that makes it more enjoyable.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct answer and give a concise time reference and reason. Avoid repetition and use correct grammar (e.g., “learned,” “at a young age,” “like her”). Include one detail about what you learned or how it helped.

Ví dụ: Yes, I learned to sing when I was about five years old because I admired Taylor Swift. Those early lessons taught me basic breathing and pitch control, which helped me later when practicing on my own.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence then one specific reason. Avoid repeating phrases and correct small errors (e.g., “bathroom” instead of “toilet” for naturalness). Limit to two or three sentences.

Ví dụ: I usually prefer to sing to myself rather than for others because I feel embarrassed performing. I often sing in the bathroom where the acoustics are good and I can relax without worrying about listeners.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear opinion, then give one or two specific effects of singing. Use natural vocabulary (avoid phrases like “feel like paradise”) and correct article/tense usage.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think singing can make people happy because it helps them relax and forget their stress. For example, singing a favorite song can lift your mood and make you feel more positive.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and give a clear contrast using linking words (e.g., “however,” “on the other hand”). Use appropriate adjectives (e.g., “poorly” instead of “horrible” as an adverb) and avoid overuse of qualifiers like “really.”

Ví dụ: It depends on the singer. If someone sings well, I enjoy listening to them; however, if they sing poorly, I usually prefer to listen to my own voice or switch to recorded music.

Gợi ý: Use correct grammar (e.g., “I haven't taken a singing class”) and give one specific reason plus a brief supporting detail. Avoid convoluted explanations and keep it within three sentences.

Ví dụ: No, I haven't taken formal singing classes because I prefer keeping my own style. I worry that lessons might make my voice sound more like someone else's, and I feel more comfortable practising on my own.

× Definitely yes.

✓ Definitely, yes.

Add a comma after 'Definitely' to separate the sentence adverb from the short answer; this improves naturalness and clarity. (Type 20)

× And I love to be a bathroom singer when I often shower.

✓ And I love being a bathroom singer when I shower.

Use the gerund form 'being' after 'love' (Verb + -ing form). Remove 'often' before the verb and place it after or omit; 'when I shower' is sufficient and present simple fits habitual action. (Types 8 and 6)

× I love singing because the echo was like so good.

✓ I love singing because the echo is so good.

Use present tense 'is' to describe a general, current quality (Present tense issue). Replace 'was like so good' with 'is so good' for correct adjective use and natural phrasing (Incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs). (Types 6 and 13)

× You can imagine you're in a karaoke and singing to audiences.

✓ You can imagine you're in a karaoke bar and singing to an audience.

Add the noun 'bar' after 'karaoke' and use singular 'an audience' or 'audiences' depending on meaning; 'an audience' is more natural. Maintain parallel verb form 'singing'. (Type 26)

× Yes, I, I have and I took lessons when I was in a young age, at about 5 years old.

✓ Yes, I have. I took lessons when I was young, at about five years old.

Separate the responses: 'I have' (present perfect) needs an object if used alone; better to say 'Yes, I have.' Past simple 'I took lessons' is correct for a finished action, and use 'when I was young' or 'at about five years old' (avoid 'in a young age'). (Type 5)

× I guess at that time I was really interested in singing and I really admire Taylor Swift and I wish to be a singer as her.

✓ I guess at that time I was really interested in singing. I really admired Taylor Swift and I wished to be a singer like her.

Use past tense 'admired' and 'wished' to match 'at that time' (Past tense issue). Use 'like her' instead of 'as her' for correct comparison (Incorrect use of pronouns/comparison). (Types 5 and 12/19)

× Who do you want to sing for?

✓ Who do you want to sing for?

No grammatical correction needed; the sentence is correct as is. (No error matched to the list)

× Well, actually I want to sing to myself.

✓ Well, actually I want to sing to myself.

Sentence is acceptable; 'sing to myself' is natural. No correction needed. (No error matched)

× Like usually I sing in the toilet just because I don't want others to listen to my singing and it's kind of embarrassing for me.

✓ Usually I sing in the toilet because I don't want others to listen to my singing; it's kind of embarrassing for me.

Remove 'Like' at the start, which is filler, and use simple 'usually' before the verb. Replace 'just because' with 'because' for concision and join clauses properly. (Type 26)

× Even there, my parents or my friends, I wouldn't prefer singing for them.

✓ Even then, with my parents or my friends, I wouldn't prefer to sing for them.

Use 'then' instead of 'there' for meaning, and 'prefer to sing' is the correct verb pattern; include 'with' to clarify context. (Types 4 and 26)

× Well, in my opinion singing is a hobby particularly made for happiness 'cause every time once you sing you will feel really relaxed and feel like paradise, you will forget all those stress and you will be in a great mood.

✓ Well, in my opinion, singing is a hobby made for happiness because every time you sing you will feel really relaxed and feel like you're in paradise; you will forget all that stress and be in a great mood.

Add commas for clarity. Replace colloquial ''cause' with 'because'. Remove 'once' after 'every time' (redundant). Use 'you're in paradise' and 'all that stress' (correct quantifier). Simplify 'you will be in a great mood' to parallel structure. (Types 22, 20, 14, 6)

× Do you like listening to others singing?

✓ Do you like listening to others sing?

After 'listening to', use the base verb 'sing' (verb complement) rather than 'singing' when referring to others' actions; both forms can be acceptable but 'others sing' is more natural here. (Type 8)

× Well, it depends on who is singing.

✓ Well, it depends on who is singing.

Sentence is correct; no change needed. (No error matched)

× If the person sings really well, I will definitely be really happy to listen to.

✓ If the person sings really well, I will definitely be happy to listen.

Remove the extra 'really' for concision and place the verb 'to listen' without trailing 'to' at the end; better: 'happy to listen.' (Type 13/20)

× However, if the person sings horrible, I will prefer listening to myself instead.

✓ However, if the person sings horribly, I would prefer listening to myself instead.

Use the adverb 'horribly' to modify the verb 'sings' (Incorrect use of adjectives/adverbs). Use 'would prefer' for hypothetical preference (modal/tense). (Types 13 and 4)

× Well I haven't ever took a singing class before 'cause everyone have their own singing style and I don't really want to learn those skills to be like similar with someone.

✓ Well, I have never taken a singing class before because everyone has their own singing style and I don't really want to learn those skills to be similar to someone else.

Use 'have never taken' (present perfect with past participle) instead of 'haven't ever took' (Past tense issue and past participle form). Use 'has' for singular 'everyone' (subject-verb agreement). Use 'similar to someone else' for correct comparison and preposition. (Types 9, 5, 27, 11/19)

× I just want to be in my style and what I am comfortable with instead of listening to others.

✓ I just want to be in my own style and do what I am comfortable with instead of copying others.

Use 'my own style' and 'do what I am comfortable with' for clear structure. Replace 'listening to others' with 'copying others' to express the intended meaning. (Types 12 and 26)
