Singing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Improve grammatical accuracy and clarity: use correct verb forms, reduce repetition, and make one clear topic sentence followed by 1–2 supporting details with linking words. Be specific about when and how singing refreshes you. Limit to 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes — I enjoy singing in my free time because it helps me relax after a busy day. For example, I often sing for 20–30 minutes while cooking or walking, which clears my mind and improves my mood. Because it refreshes me, singing is one of my favorite hobbies.

Sugerencia: Give a direct, grammatically correct response and clarify the method you used to learn. Avoid fillers and vague phrases. Use linking words like 'but' or 'however' to contrast formal lessons vs self-learning, and provide a specific example of how you practice.

Ejemplo: I have never had formal singing lessons, but I practice by listening to recordings on my mother's phone and trying to imitate the singer. For instance, I often slow down a song and repeat difficult phrases until I can sing them properly, which has helped me improve my pitch and timing.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and concisely: state whether you sing for yourself or others, then give a specific reason with one example. Correct verb forms and word choice (e.g., 'sing along', 'play musical instruments'). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I usually sing just for myself because it helps me relax and forget my worries. For example, I often sing quietly while I practise the guitar at home, which makes my free time more enjoyable.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear opinion with reason and an example. Use correct vocabulary (e.g., 'people', 'depends', 'audience') and linking words like 'because' and 'for example'. Avoid awkward phrasing. Be specific about how singing affects mood and note exceptions.

Ejemplo: Yes, I think singing can bring happiness because it releases stress and boosts positive emotions. For example, people often sing together at celebrations, which creates a sense of community and lifts everyone's mood, although some people may prefer other activities depending on their taste.

× Also I spend time with syncing and it's refreshing my mind.

✓ Also I spend time singing and it refreshes my mind.

The student used 'syncing' (which likely intended 'singing') and an incorrect verb form 'it's refreshing' with a continuous meaning. Use the gerund 'singing' after 'spend time' and simple present 'it refreshes' for habitual effect. Also correct the vocabulary 'syncing'->'singing'. Suggestion: Use 'spend time' + gerund and simple present for habitual facts.

× That's why I thinking it's my favorite.

✓ That's why I think it's my favorite.

The student used 'I thinking' which is incorrect for present simple. For a general statement use simple present 'I think'. 'Thinking' without auxiliary is ungrammatical. Suggestion: Use 'I think' for opinions.

× Actually, I'm, uh, I'm not learning thinking.

✓ Actually, I'm not learning to sing.

'I'm not learning thinking' is ungrammatical and confused. If the intent is to say they are not currently taking singing lessons, use present continuous 'I'm not learning to sing' or 'I'm not taking singing lessons'. Also 'learning to sing' correctly uses the infinitive after 'learning'. Suggestion: Use 'learning to' + verb for acquiring a skill.

× So in, uh, when I sing a song, we uh, in my mama's phone this time, I try to speak singing, I try to, uh, understanding.

✓ When I sing a song, I use my mother's phone to record myself singing, and I try to understand my mistakes.

Multiple errors: 'speak singing' and 'try to understanding' are incorrect. Use gerund 'singing' after 'record' and infinitive 'to understand' after 'try'. Also correct 'mama's phone' to 'my mother's phone' for natural English. Suggestion: Use 'try to' + base verb and gerunds appropriately.

× Who do you want to sing for? Student: Actually I'm uh, I don't want to sing for anyone.

✓ Actually, I don't want to sing for anyone.

This sentence is mostly fine but had filler 'uh' and missing punctuation; no pronoun error once cleaned. Keep as simple negative with object 'anyone'. Suggestion: Remove fillers in formal speech.

× I just thinking for my personal, uh, interest.

✓ I just think it's for my personal interest.

'I just thinking' is incorrect; use simple present 'I just think'. Also add 'it's' to indicate purpose and remove filler. Suggestion: Use 'I think' for opinions.

× Also it's refresh or relaxing my mind.

✓ Also it refreshes and relaxes my mind.

Incorrect use of 'refresh or relaxing' — verbs should be parallel and in third person singular present: 'refreshes' and 'relaxes'. Use conjunction 'and' for two effects. Suggestion: Use correct verb forms and parallel structure.

× That's why I am in my free time. I try to syncing or I try to music instruments to.

✓ That's why in my free time I try singing or playing musical instruments.

'I am in my free time' is awkward; better 'in my free time'. 'I try to syncing' is wrong: after 'try' use gerund for attempts ('try singing') or 'try to' + base verb. 'I try to music instruments to' is ungrammatical — use 'playing musical instruments'. Suggestion: Use 'in my free time' and correct verb patterns: 'try singing' or 'try to play'.

× People, yes, thinking bring happiness to publics because it's very relaxing.

✓ Yes, I think it brings happiness to people because it's very relaxing.

'Original had 'thinking bring happiness to publics' with subject-verb disagreement and wrong nouns. Use 'I think' for opinion, 'it brings' (third person singular), and 'people' rather than 'publics'. Suggestion: Use 'it brings' and 'people'.

× So all of the pupils to like sinking are, uh, musics.

✓ So many people, including students, like singing and music.

Original is confused: 'pupils to like sinking' and 'musics' (uncountable). Use 'many people' or 'students' and uncountable 'music'. 'Singing' is the gerund. Suggestion: Use correct noun forms and gerunds.

× It's depend on their, umm, personal interest.

✓ It depends on their personal interests.

Use third person singular 'depends' and plural 'interests' or 'interest' consistently. 'Their' is fine for plural. Suggestion: Use subject-verb agreement and choose singular/plural for 'interest'.
