Singing— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two concise, specific supporting details. Avoid rhetorical questions and repetition. Use linking words (for example, because, and) to connect ideas and keep within 3–4 sentences.

例: Yes, I enjoy singing because it helps me relax and express myself. For example, learning song lyrics improves my vocabulary and pronunciation, and practicing tunes helps my confidence when speaking English.

提案: Give a brief direct answer followed by a clear reason and a short consequence or contrast. Use linking words like 'although' or 'because' and avoid repeating words ('interest').

例: No, I haven't formally learned to sing because I wasn't motivated to practice regularly. Although I thought about taking lessons, I eventually gave up on the idea due to lack of time and commitment.

提案: Answer directly and avoid filler words (umm, uh). Explain briefly why you chose that person with specific reasons rather than just saying 'popular'. Limit to 2–3 sentences and use linking words like 'because' or 'so'.

例: I would like to sing with Justin Bieber because he is a talented artist and collaborating with him would help me learn professional stagecraft. Also, performing with a well-known singer could expose my music to a wider audience.

提案: Start with a clear opinion, then give a specific reason or an example. Use linking words like 'because' or 'for example' and avoid repeating short affirmations. Cite one specific benefit to make the answer more concrete.

例: Yes, I believe singing brings happiness because it releases endorphins and reduces stress. For example, group singing can boost mood and social connection, which improves overall well-being.

× I intended to learn singing, but I had no interest in actively practicing it, so I dropped my interest.

✓ I intended to learn to sing, but I had no interest in actively practicing it, so I lost interest.

Use the infinitive 'to learn to sing' after 'intended' rather than the gerund 'learn singing'. Also, 'dropped my interest' is unnatural; use 'lost interest'. Suggestion: say 'I intended to learn to sing' and 'I lost interest' for clarity and correct verb forms.

× Why sing a song?

✓ Why sing a song? (Acceptable colloquial question) Alternatively: 'Why sing a song?'/ 'Why would you sing a song?','explanation':'The original phrase is terse but acceptable in spoken English as a rhetorical question. If you want a fuller, grammatically clear form, use 'Why would you sing a song?' which uses modal 'would' to express general purpose. No strict tense error, but a stylistic improvement is offered.'},{
