Do you like singing? Why?
Candidato
No, I definitely don't like singing. It's just not my thing. It has not been my thing since I was a kid. And I got embarrassed umm by singing in front of this huge crowd and I just cried and I thought they were laughing at me and I just had this huge trauma from it. And I don't enjoy singing at all because of that reason, but I love.
Examinador
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Candidato
Yes, I have learned how to sing more than 10 times this past few years actually. My mom really enjoys singing and she takes classes at least once a week and she tries to make me go with her to her practices and I feel like it's a great way for me to try to enjoy liking my voice and just love myself in general, but it's still not my.
Examinador
Who do you want to sing for?
Candidato
That's a great question. No one actually umm. Since I don't really enjoy singing, I feel like I wouldn't even sing to anyone at all. But in the future, maybe if my voice lessons turn out to be good, hopefully I'll have a nice voice in the future for my future children. I will sing.

Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
Candidato
Yes, I definitely do think that singing brings happiness to people. Umm. And it's because mainly umm the voice of someone just talking to you just doesn't make you feel lonely anymore. And if it's from a special person it's even better. Like family and just close friends will make someone very happy.
Do you like singing? Why?
Pontuação: 64.0Sugestão: Be more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence stating your opinion, then briefly explain the reason with one or two specific details. Avoid filler words (umm) and conflicting unfinished phrases ("but I love"). Keep it under 5 sentences and use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas.
Exemplo: No, I don't like singing because I had a traumatic experience as a child. For example, I once sang in front of a large audience and felt embarrassed, which made me very self-conscious about my voice. Since then, I have avoided singing in public.
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: Provide a clear direct answer, then give specific supporting details. Clarify what "learned more than 10 times" means (lessons, courses, attempts). Avoid trailing off and keep sentences complete. Use linking words like "because" or "however" when contrasting ideas.
Exemplo: Yes, I have taken singing lessons several times over the past few years because my mother is a regular singer and encouraged me to join her classes. However, even after attending lessons, I still don't enjoy singing much because I feel uncomfortable with my voice.
Who do you want to sing for?
Pontuação: 66.0Sugestão: Answer directly, then give a realistic, specific scenario. Avoid contradictions and filler. Use one sentence to state current preference and one sentence to describe a future possibility with a linking word like "however" or "maybe".
Exemplo: Right now, I wouldn't choose to sing for anyone because I feel uncomfortable performing. However, if my lessons improve my confidence, I might sing for my future children at family gatherings.
Do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
Pontuação: 75.0Sugestão: Start with a clear topic sentence and give specific reasons or examples. Reduce hesitation words and make the link between singing and emotional effects explicit. Use linking phrases such as "because", "for example", or "especially" to structure your points.
Exemplo: Yes, I believe singing brings happiness because music and a familiar voice can reduce feelings of loneliness. For example, hearing a family member sing a comforting song can lift your mood, and singing together with close friends can strengthen social bonds.
× No, I definitely don't like singing.
✓ No, I definitely don't like singing.
No grammatical error that matches the provided list. The sentence is correct.
× It's just not my thing.
✓ It's just not my thing.
No grammatical error that matches the provided list; sentence is correct in present tense usage.
× It has not been my thing since I was a kid.
✓ It has not been my thing since I was a kid.
Present perfect ('has not been') is appropriate to describe a state continuing from the past to present; no change needed.
× And I got embarrassed umm by singing in front of this huge crowd and I just cried and I thought they were laughing at me and I just had this huge trauma from it.
✓ I got embarrassed by singing in front of a huge crowd; I cried because I thought they were laughing at me, and it caused me a lot of trauma.
Original has run-on structure and awkward phrasing. Use past simple consistently for past events ('got embarrassed', 'cried', 'thought'). Replace 'this huge crowd' with 'a huge crowd' for natural article use (article error -> ID 22/17). Break into clearer clauses and use 'caused me a lot of trauma' for natural expression.
× And I don't enjoy singing at all because of that reason, but I love.
✓ I don't enjoy singing at all because of that, but I love music.
Sentence ends abruptly with 'but I love.' which is incomplete (sentence structure error ID 26). Also 'because of that reason' is redundant; use 'because of that' (article/word choice ID 22). Provide a complete noun after 'love' (e.g., 'music') to complete the thought.
× Yes, I have learned how to sing more than 10 times this past few years actually.
✓ Yes, I have learned to sing more than ten times over the past few years.
Use present perfect for repeated actions up to now ('have learned'). Use 'learned to sing' rather than 'learned how to sing' for brevity (both acceptable). Use 'over the past few years' for natural phrasing and write numbers in words in formal speech ('ten'). 'This past few years' is incorrect; use 'the past few years' (preposition/article error ID 11/22).
× My mom really enjoys singing and she takes classes at least once a week and she tries to make me go with her to her practices and I feel like it's a great way for me to try to enjoy liking my voice and just love myself in general, but it's still not my.
✓ My mom really enjoys singing; she takes classes at least once a week and tries to make me go to her practice sessions. I feel it's a great way to appreciate my voice and love myself in general, but it's still not for me.
Run-on sentence and awkward preposition use ('go with her to her practices' -> 'go to her practice sessions'). 'Enjoy liking my voice' is redundant; use 'appreciate my voice'. Sentence ended with 'not my' which is incomplete (sentence structure error ID 26). Use semicolons or periods to separate ideas and adjust articles ('practice sessions').
× That's a great question. No one actually umm.
✓ That's a great question. No one, actually.
'No one actually umm.' is fragmented and contains a filler 'umm' and lacks punctuation; revise to 'No one, actually.' to form a complete response. This fixes sentence structure error (ID 26).
× Since I don't really enjoy singing, I feel like I wouldn't even sing to anyone at all.
✓ Since I don't really enjoy singing, I don't think I would sing for anyone.
Use consistent modal structure: 'I don't think I would' is more natural than 'I feel like I wouldn't.' Also 'sing to anyone at all' is wordy; 'sing for anyone' is preferred. This addresses word choice and clarity (sentence structure ID 26).
× But in the future, maybe if my voice lessons turn out to be good, hopefully I'll have a nice voice in the future for my future children.
✓ Maybe in the future, if my voice lessons go well, I'll have a nice voice for my future children.
Redundant 'in the future' and 'future children' repeated unnecessarily. Use 'go well' for lessons rather than 'turn out to be good'. Remove duplicate time phrases to improve clarity (wordiness/sentence structure ID 26).
× I will sing.
✓ I might sing for them.
Original 'I will sing.' is grammatically correct but abrupt and may not match the conditional sense earlier. To reflect uncertainty expressed earlier, 'I might sing for them' is more consistent. This is a stylistic adjustment to improve discourse coherence.
× Yes, I definitely do think that singing brings happiness to people.
✓ Yes, I definitely think that singing brings happiness to people.
Remove unnecessary 'do' in positive statement; both forms are grammatical but 'I definitely think' is more natural. This is a small stylistic tense/present-tense adjustment (ID 6).
× And it's because mainly umm the voice of someone just talking to you just doesn't make you feel lonely anymore.
✓ Mainly, someone's voice talking to you can make you feel less lonely.
Original has filler 'umm' and awkward double 'just'. Simplify structure: 'someone's voice talking to you can make you feel less lonely.' This corrects sentence structure and adverb placement (IDs 26 and 20).
× And if it's from a special person it's even better.
✓ If the voice is from a special person, it's even better.
Add comma after the conditional clause and rephrase to avoid repeated 'and'. This fixes sentence structure (ID 26) and punctuation.
× Like family and just close friends will make someone very happy.
✓ Hearing from family and close friends can make someone very happy.
Original begins with 'Like' and lacks a clear subject-verb structure. Rephrase to 'Hearing from family and close friends can make someone very happy' to form a complete sentence. This addresses sentence structure error (ID 26).
