Singing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your answer grammatically correct, more concise, and clearer. Start with a direct topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Use linking words like "for example" and avoid redundant phrases. Correct collocations (e.g., "affects my emotions", "melancholic music") and simplify awkward parts.

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy singing because it affects my emotions. For example, when I'm happy I sing along to upbeat songs to boost my mood, whereas when I'm sad I prefer slow, melancholic songs that help me reflect.

Gợi ý: Keep the answer direct and improve tense and vocabulary accuracy. Start with a clear topic sentence, then briefly explain how you practiced informally. Use linking words like "however" or "so" correctly and avoid wordiness.

Ví dụ: No, I have never had formal singing lessons. However, I watched many TV singing contests as a child and tried to mimic the singers' rhythm and style, which helped me improve informally.

Gợi ý: Be more concise and avoid repeating ideas. Begin with a direct statement and give a specific reason and a brief detail. Replace vague phrases like "feel the love through my singing" with clearer expressions.

Ví dụ: I'd like to sing for my mother because I want to show my appreciation for her. Although I often sang in public growing up, I haven't performed for her personally, so I would sing a meaningful song to express my gratitude.

Gợi ý: Organize the answer more clearly: start with a direct opinion, then explain with contrasting examples using linking words like "however" and "for example". Fix grammar and avoid redundancy (e.g., "most people that I know they are sad" → "when people are sad").

Ví dụ: I think it depends. For example, when people are sad they often listen to slow, melancholic songs to reflect, while when they are happy they choose upbeat music that boosts their mood.

Gợi ý: Start with a concise topic sentence, then explain your reason with one or two specific details. Use clearer phrasing (e.g., "listen to others sing" not "listening to others while singing") and concise linking words like "because" or "so".

Ví dụ: Yes, I enjoy listening to others sing because I learn from them. For example, I pay attention to their rhythm and technique so I can imitate and incorporate those elements into my own singing.

Gợi ý: Be concise and correct grammar. Start with a direct statement, then give a clear reason and a brief conditional remark. Avoid awkward phrases like "most immersed in school works" and "childhood agenda."

Ví dụ: No, I've never taken singing classes because schoolwork kept me very busy as a child, leaving little time for extracurriculars. If I had had the opportunity, I would have liked to take lessons.

× Yes, I like singing because it depends my emotions even more.

✓ Yes, I like singing because it deepens my emotions even more.

The original uses 'depends' incorrectly with a direct object; 'depend on' is a phrasal verb, but the intended meaning is that singing makes emotions stronger. Use a verb that collocates with 'emotions' such as 'deepen' and correct to third-person singular 'deepens'. This clarifies meaning and correct verb usage.

× When I'm sad, I like to play melancholic music too deep and more my emotions.

✓ When I'm sad, I like to play melancholic music to express my emotions more deeply.

The phrase 'too deep and more my emotions' is ungrammatical. Use an infinitive of purpose 'to express', and modify with the adverb 'more deeply' to describe how emotions are expressed. This corrects word order and choice of adverb.

× I have never learned how to sing.

✓ I have never learned how to sing.

No change needed; sentence is grammatically correct in present perfect to indicate experience up to now. Included for completeness.

× However, growing up I used to watch a lot of TV shows with singing contests on, so I tried to mimic the rhythm and the style of singing of the singers and that's what I'm doing as of today.

✓ However, growing up I used to watch a lot of TV shows with singing contests, so I tried to mimic the rhythm and style of the singers, and that's what I still do today.

Reduce redundancy and improve verb form consistency. 'Singing contests on' is awkward; 'with singing contests' is sufficient. 'Style of singing of the singers' is redundant; use 'style of the singers' or 'style of singing'. Replace 'that's what I'm doing as of today' with 'that's what I still do today' to use natural present simple for habitual action.

× I would love to sing for my mom.

✓ I would love to sing for my mom.

No correction needed; sentence correctly uses conditional 'would' to express desire.

× Growing up, I was used to singing in front of a crowd.

✓ Growing up, I used to sing in front of a crowd.

'Be used to' plus gerund indicates a habitual state; 'was used to singing' can be acceptable but is less direct. 'Used to sing' is the correct and clearer way to describe a past habit. Use past tense 'used to' for repeated past action.

× However, I have not had the chance to sing for my mom, so I would love to sing for her because I want her to feel the love through my singing and I want to play along.

✓ However, I have not had the chance to sing for my mom, so I would love to sing for her because I want her to feel my love through my singing and I want to accompany her.

'Feel the love' is acceptable but 'feel my love' is more natural. 'Play along' is ambiguous; if the speaker means to accompany musically, 'accompany her' is clearer. Maintain present perfect 'have not had' to indicate experience up to now.

× It depends on the situation because most people that I know they are sad, they want to play slow and melancholic music so it doesn't make them happy.

✓ It depends on the situation. Most people I know, when they are sad, want to play slow and melancholic music, so it doesn't make them happy.

Original has redundancy 'people that I know they'. Remove the extra pronoun and split into clearer clauses. Add commas and restructuring to show conditional timing 'when they are sad' and clarify subject-verb connections.

× However, for those that are feeling happy, they like to play fast and upbeat songs because it boosts their mood even more.

✓ However, for those who feel happy, they like to play fast, upbeat songs because these boost their mood even more.

Use 'who' for people, not 'that'. 'Feeling happy' can be simplified to 'feel happy'. 'It boosts' is unclear; use 'these' to refer to 'songs'. Also add a comma between coordinated adjectives 'fast, upbeat'.

× Yes, I do like listening to others while singing.

✓ Yes, I do like listening to others sing.

'Listening to others while singing' suggests the speaker listens while they themselves sing. To say the speaker likes to hear other people sing, use the bare infinitive 'listen to others sing'.

× What I do usually is to hear them sing for me to be able to mimic how they sing, the rhythm and also the techniques and I also apply that when I sing.

✓ What I usually do is listen to them sing so I can mimic their rhythm and techniques, and I apply that when I sing.

Use 'listen to them sing' instead of 'hear them sing for me'. Reorder adverb 'usually' to natural position. Replace 'for me to be able to' with 'so I can' for concision. Use possessive 'their rhythm' and combine clauses with clearer punctuation.

× No, I haven't tried attending a singing class.

✓ No, I haven't attended a singing class.

'Tried attending' is awkward; use 'haven't attended' to state lack of experience. This matches typical collocation for classes and keeps present perfect for experience.

× Growing up, we were most immersed in school works, so extracurricular activities were not incorporated in our childhood agenda.

✓ Growing up, we were mostly immersed in schoolwork, so extracurricular activities were not included in our childhood schedule.

Use 'mostly' not 'most' to modify 'immersed'. 'Schoolwork' is uncountable and should be one word. 'Incorporated in our childhood agenda' is unnatural; use 'included in our childhood schedule' or 'part of our childhood routine'.

× But if I were given a chance when I was a child, I would really love to.

✓ But if I had been given the chance when I was a child, I would have loved it.

Original mixes present conditional 'would' with a past-time condition. Use past conditional: 'If I had been given the chance... I would have loved it' to express an unreal past situation. Alternatively, keep 'I would really have liked to' but ensure tense agreement.
