× Yes, I like singing because singing makes me happy and it makes me feel relaxed.
✓ Yes, I like singing because it makes me happy and helps me feel relaxed.
Redundant use of 'singing' and awkward repetition of 'it makes me feel relaxed'. Replace the second clause with 'it makes me' to avoid repetition and use 'helps me feel' for natural phrasing. This fits present simple habitual tense.
× Umm the reason why I sing because it reduces my the tension in my head, the anxiety I have.
✓ The reason I sing is that it reduces the tension in my head and the anxiety I feel.
Incorrect sentence structure: 'the reason why I sing because' is ungrammatical. Use 'The reason I sing is that...' Also remove extra article 'my the tension' and combine related nouns with 'and'.
× This is the only reason that I can ignore all the problems.
✓ This is the only reason I can forget about all my problems.
Awkward phrasing 'ignore all the problems' is grammatically possible but unnatural. Use 'forget about all my problems' or 'ignore my problems'. Also dropping 'that' after 'reason' makes the sentence more natural.
× Not from a specific intuition.
✓ Not from a specific institution.
The original sentence is unclear: 'intuition' is the wrong word. If the student means formal training, use 'institution' or say 'No, not from any formal training.' Ensure the fragment becomes a complete sentence.
× I learn singing at home and I eager to learn it.
✓ I learn to sing at home and I am eager to learn more.
Use correct verb pattern 'learn to sing' instead of 'learn singing'. Also include the auxiliary verb 'am' for 'I am eager' and adjust 'learn it' to 'learn more' for clarity.
× I want to sing for my first love because singing is only way to express my feelings.
✓ I want to sing for my first love because singing is the only way to express my feelings.
Missing definite article 'the' before 'only way'. Also keep present simple to express a general truth.
× Uh, slightly think about that sinking bring happiness to some people because there are some people who have different perspective about singing, some feel get umm interrupted in singing and some feel get relaxed in singing.
✓ I think singing brings happiness to some people because people have different perspectives: some feel interrupted by singing and some feel relaxed by it.
The original is disfluent and contains word-choice errors ('slightly think about that sinking', 'sinking' instead of 'singing'). Rephrase to clear subject-verb structure: 'I think singing brings...' Use plural 'perspectives' and correct verb patterns 'feel interrupted' and 'feel relaxed'. Avoid filler words and ensure present simple tense for general statements.
