Singing— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific supporting details, and finish with a brief concluding remark. Remove repetitions and hesitations.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy singing. I started performing in school and continued competing in college, where I often won competitions because I practiced regularly and prepared thoroughly. Singing still gives me confidence and joy.

Sugerencia: Give a clear timeline and specific details about what you learned. Avoid fillers and correct simple grammar (e.g., "learned" and word order). Use linking words to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes. I began formal lessons at age 12 with a local playback singer who lived nearby. From him I learned breath control, vocal techniques, and how to perform confidently on stage, which improved my singing a lot.

Sugerencia: Keep sentences correct and concise; use one or two specific examples and correct verb forms and pronouns. Use linking words to show sequence or reason.

Ejemplo: I like to sing for my family and close friends. For example, I sang at a friend’s birthday last year, and since he loves music, I plan to sing for him again this year to celebrate.

Sugerencia: Give a clear opinion then support it with specific reasons and an example. Avoid unclear phrases and finish the thought. Use linking words like "because" and "for example" correctly.

Ejemplo: Yes, I believe singing brings happiness because it reduces stress and lifts the mood. For example, many of my friends feel relaxed after singing together, which helps them forget daily worries and feel happier.

× I always, I always win, so.

✓ I always won.

The student is describing past repeated actions (competitions in college), so simple past 'won' is required rather than present 'win'. Also remove the redundant repetition 'I always, I always'. Suggestion: use 'I always won' or 'I used to win often' for clarity.

× Have you ever learnt how to sing?

✓ Have you ever learned how to sing?

Both 'learnt' and 'learned' are past participles; however in this context (present perfect question) 'learned' is more common in American English. If British English is intended, 'learnt' is acceptable. No tense change needed; this correction standardizes form.

× I took classes from, umm, best, uh, singing tutor.

✓ I took classes from the best singing tutor.

The noun 'best singing tutor' requires the definite article 'the' to specify a particular tutor. Remove filler words and extra commas. Suggestion: 'I took classes from the best singing tutor.'

× He used to live in nearby my home

✓ He used to live near my home.

The correct preposition is 'near' rather than 'in nearby'. The phrase 'near my home' is the natural prepositional phrase. Also remove 'used to' remains fine to indicate past habitual location.

× and he's a playback singer, so I, uh, got to learn many good things about singing.

✓ and he was a playback singer, so I got to learn many good things about singing.

The rest of the sentence refers to past time ('when I was 12', 'took classes'), so pronoun 'he' should be followed by past tense 'was' rather than present 'is'. Also remove filler commas. Suggestion: maintain past tense consistency.

× I remember uh, when it was my friend's birthday, I sings, I sang song for him

✓ I remember when it was my friend's birthday; I sang a song for him.

Mixing 'sings' (present) and 'sang' (past) is inconsistent. The correct past simple 'sang' should be used. Also include the article 'a' before 'song' and remove fillers and redundant verbs. Use punctuation to separate clauses.

× and now his birthday is coming again so I am planning to sing a beautiful song for him because he love songs, he loves singing.

✓ and now his birthday is coming again, so I am planning to sing a beautiful song for him because he loves songs; he loves singing.

Subject-verb agreement error: 'he love' should be 'he loves'. Also add commas for clarity. Use consistent tense and correct agreement for third person singular.

× because a lot of my friend or thinks that, uh, singing help them to feel relaxed

✓ because a lot of my friends think that singing helps them to feel relaxed

Quantifier and noun number: 'a lot of my friend' should be 'a lot of my friends'. Verb agreement: plural 'friends think'. Verb 'help' needs third person singular 'helps' because the singular noun 'singing' (a gerund) or idea is the subject; here 'singing' (singular) requires 'helps'. Remove extraneous words 'or thinks that, uh'.

× and it helps them to get happiness because in today's world, everyone is having worries and tensions whenever, uh, I listen.

✓ and it helps them to feel happy because in today's world everyone has worries and tensions when they listen.

Pronoun and verb issues: 'get happiness' is awkward; use 'feel happy'. 'Everyone is having worries and tensions' is unnatural — use simple present 'everyone has worries and tensions'. 'Whenever I listen' is unclear and mismatched; better to say 'when they listen' to match subject 'them'. Maintain consistent pronouns and natural collocations.
