Singing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Your answer is quite natural and clear, but it is a bit long and slightly redundant. Try to make your response more concise by combining ideas and avoiding repetition. Also, watch out for small grammar mistakes, such as "there's no one's judging" which should be "no one is judging."

Example: I have always loved singing, especially as a child, but I feel self-conscious singing in front of others. However, I enjoy singing alone because I don't worry about being judged.

Suggestion: Your answer is clear and concise, which is good. To improve, you could add a linking phrase to connect your ideas smoothly and provide a bit more detail to enrich your answer.

Example: No, I have never formally learned how to sing, but I practiced a lot as a kid to improve my skills.

Suggestion: Your answer has good content and structure, but it could be improved by using linking words to make the story flow better. Also, try to avoid repeating similar ideas and keep your answer within 5 sentences.

Example: When I was a child, my mother criticized me for singing karaoke, so I stopped singing. However, as an adult, I became comfortable enough to sing for my boyfriend, which helped me regain confidence.

Suggestion: Your answer is relevant but a bit fragmented and contains some grammatical errors. Try to combine your ideas into coherent sentences using linking words, and avoid sentence fragments. Also, provide more specific examples to support your opinion.

Example: Yes, I believe singing brings happiness, especially in the Philippines where karaoke is popular. For example, during birthdays and celebrations, people often sing together to enjoy the moment and feel joyful.

× But I like doing it when I'm alone because there's no one's judging.

✓ But I like doing it when I'm alone because no one is judging.

The phrase 'there's no one's judging' is incorrect because 'there's' is a contraction of 'there is', which should be followed by a noun or noun phrase. 'No one's' is a possessive pronoun meaning 'no one is' or 'nobody is', but here it is misused. The correct form is 'no one is judging' or simply 'no one judging'. The correction removes the contraction and uses 'no one is judging' to express that nobody is judging.

× When I was a child, I was criticized by my mother when I sang in a karaoke.

✓ When I was a child, I was criticized by my mother when I sang karaoke.

The word 'karaoke' is an uncountable noun and does not require the article 'a'. Using 'in a karaoke' is incorrect. The correct phrase is 'sang karaoke' without any preposition or article. This correction removes the unnecessary preposition and article to make the sentence grammatically correct.

× Yes, especially as a Filipino who grew up in a community where karaoke is a common thing and. Especially in birthdays or celebrations where people would just want to be happy, karaoke would always be present.

✓ Yes, especially as a Filipino who grew up in a community where karaoke is a common thing. Especially on birthdays or celebrations where people just want to be happy, karaoke is always present.

The original sentence is fragmented and contains an incomplete clause ending with 'and.' Also, the preposition 'in birthdays' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'on birthdays.' The correction splits the sentence into two complete sentences, removes the incomplete conjunction 'and,' and corrects the preposition to improve clarity and grammatical correctness.
