× For instance, I love singing with my friend during karaoke session.
✓ For instance, I love singing with my friend during karaoke sessions.
句中“karaoke session”用复数或在前面加不定冠词更自然。此处因为指一般性的活动,使用复数或加不定冠词更恰当。建议:使用“karaoke sessions”或“a karaoke session”。
× Umm because it's a fun way to connect the people who share similar interests.
✓ Umm because it's a fun way to connect with people who share similar interests.
动词“connect”通常与介词“with”搭配表示“与……建立联系”。原句中多余的定冠词“the”也不合适。建议:使用“connect with people”。
× Have you ever learnt how to sing?
✓ Have you ever learnt how to sing?
此句作为考官问句是正确的英式英语时态(现在完成时),不需改动。仅保留以示无错误。
× Actually, I've never taken formal singing lesson.
✓ Actually, I've never taken formal singing lessons.
名词“lesson”应使用复数“lessons”或前加不定冠词“a lesson”来表示一次或多次课程。原句用单数缺少冠词或复数标记。建议:使用“lessons”或“a lesson”。
× I wish I could receive professional singing training so that I could discourage my best vocal range.
✓ I wish I could receive professional singing training so that I could discover my best vocal range.
动词“discourage”意思是“使气馁”,与句意(想找到最佳音域)不符。正确动词应为“discover”或“develop”。建议:用“discover”或“develop”。
× If I could complete the course about music, I could be more confident about performing my song in front of others.
✓ If I could complete a course in music, I would be more confident about performing my songs in front of others.
第一,条件句建议使用“would”而非重复“could”来表达与现在事实相反的愿望;第二,“course about music”不自然,改为“a course in music”;第三,“song”应为复数或使用“a song”取决于上下文,使用复数更自然。建议:使用“would”、“a course in music”和“songs”。
× Well, I would love to sing for my friend because they have always supported me which is easy for me to feel comfortable and relax in singing in front of them also.
✓ Well, I would love to sing for my friends because they have always supported me, so it's easy for me to feel comfortable and relaxed singing in front of them.
1) 若指多个人,应使用复数“friends”;2) 原句“which is easy for me to feel comfortable and relax”结构混乱,改为“so it's easy for me to feel comfortable and relaxed”更自然;3) “relax”应改为形容词“relaxed”以描述感觉。建议:保持代词一致性并使用恰当的形容词形式。
× Plus they can give me a honest feedback to help me improve my skill.
✓ Plus they can give me honest feedback to help me improve my skills.
1) “a honest feedback”中“feedback”是不可数名词,不应加不定冠词“a”且形容词“honest”前不需冠词;2) “my skill”通常用复数“my skills”表示多项能力,或用“my singing”更具体。建议:使用“honest feedback”和“my skills”或“my singing”。
× Yes, absolutely thing can bring happiness to people as it can release endorphins which can make people happier.
✓ Yes, absolutely singing can bring happiness to people as it can release endorphins which can make people happier.
原句中缺少主语,使用“thing”不明确且不合适,应补入具体主语“singing”。此外句子时态正确,主要问题是名词错误。建议:明确主语为“singing”。
× Plus it's a great way to express emotion and relieve stress.
✓ Plus it's a great way to express emotions and relieve stress.
名词“emotion”在此泛指多种情感,通常用复数“emotions”。建议:使用复数形式。
× Sing together can create a sense of community, that belonging which can bring joy to us.
✓ Singing together can create a sense of community and belonging, which can bring joy to us.
1) 句首应使用动名词“Singing together”而非动词原形“Sing together”;2) 结构“a sense of community, that belonging”不自然,改为“a sense of community and belonging”更流畅;3) 添加逗号并保留关系代词“which”引导非限制性定语从句。建议:用“Singing together”并调整短语搭配。
