Singing— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Pronunciation and word choice errors (e.g. 'seeing' instead of 'singing', 'see of key' instead of 'sing out of key') reduce clarity. Keep answers concise (max 5 sentences) and start with a clear topic sentence. Use one or two supporting reasons with correct vocabulary and a linking word for coherence.

Ví dụ: I don't really enjoy singing because I'm not very good at it and often sing out of key. However, I love listening to music because it helps me unwind after a stressful day and lifts my mood.

Gợi ý: Good content and specific details about lessons, but there are vocabulary and grammar mistakes (e.g. 'scene techniques', 'cost more', awkward phrasing). Use correct terms like 'basic singing techniques' and clearer comparison phrases with linking words (e.g. 'but' or 'although').

Ví dụ: Yes. In primary and middle school in China I took music classes where we learned basic singing techniques such as breathing control and pitch matching. However, the lessons focused more on group performance and collaboration than on individual skill development, which was enjoyable but limited for improving my solo singing.

Gợi ý: Meaning is clear but repeated misused verbs ('see' instead of 'sing') and some awkward phrases ('raised me up', 'when I'm done') harm naturalness. Start with a direct topic sentence, give one or two specific reasons, and use appropriate vocabulary and linking words (e.g. 'especially', 'also').

Ví dụ: I would like to sing for a variety of people, especially my parents because they supported me emotionally and financially throughout my life. I would also sing for close friends who have comforted me and stood by me during difficult times.

Gợi ý: Strong answer with clear opinion, a reason, and a personal example. Improve vocabulary accuracy ('lifts people's spirits' instead of 'leaves') and tighten phrasing. Use one or two linking words (e.g. 'because', 'for example') which you already did—focus on more precise collocations.

Ví dụ: Absolutely. I believe singing lifts people's spirits and improves their mood because music relaxes listeners and helps them forget daily worries. For example, when I'm feeling down I put on an upbeat song and it helps me shake off sadness and feel more positive.

× To be honest, I'm not very good at seeing because I often see of key and I don't have much talent for it.

✓ To be honest, I'm not very good at singing because I often sing off-key and I don't have much talent for it.

The student used 'seeing' and 'see' instead of the correct verb 'sing/singing' (word choice error) and wrote the incorrect expression 'see of key'. The correct collocation is 'sing off-key'. Also 'good at' requires the gerund form 'singing'. Suggestion: use 'singing' after 'good at' and 'sing off-key' for the intended meaning.

× I prefer listening to music instead, which helps me unwind after a stressful day and lift my mood.

✓ I prefer listening to music instead, which helps me unwind after a stressful day and lifts my mood.

The relative clause refers to 'listening to music' (singular activity), so the verb should agree and use third-person singular 'lifts'. This is a subject-verb agreement issue. Suggestion: use 'lifts' to match the singular subject.

× Yes, when I was in primary and middle school in China, I attended music classes where we learned fundamental scene techniques such as breathing control and pitch matching.

✓ Yes, when I was in primary and middle school in China, I attended music classes where we learned fundamental singing techniques such as breath control and pitch matching.

'Scene techniques' is incorrect word choice; likely 'singing techniques' is intended. Also 'breathing control' is more naturally 'breath control'. Suggestion: replace 'scene techniques' with 'singing techniques' and 'breathing control' with 'breath control'.

× The lesson for cost more on group performance and collaboration than on developing individual skills which are found both enjoyable and limited.

✓ The lessons focused more on group performance and collaboration than on developing individual skills, which I found both enjoyable and limited.

Original has incorrect verb phrase 'for cost more' and ambiguous clause. Correct structure uses past 'focused' to match past context. Also change relative clause to 'which I found' to clarify the subject and use 'lessons' plural if referring to classes. Suggestion: use 'focused more on' and 'which I found'.

× To be honest, I would like to see for a variety of people, especially my parents because they raised me up and gave me both emotional and financial support.

✓ To be honest, I would like to sing for a variety of people, especially my parents because they raised me and gave me both emotional and financial support.

The student wrote 'see for' instead of 'sing for' (wrong word). 'Raised me up' is nonstandard; 'raised me' is better. Suggestion: use 'sing for' and 'raised me'.

× I would also see for my close friends who always comfort me when I'm done and have stood by my side during difficult times.

✓ I would also sing for my close friends who always comfort me when I'm down and have stood by my side during difficult times.

Again 'see for' should be 'sing for'. 'When I'm done' is incorrect contextually; intended is 'when I'm down' meaning sad. Tense 'have stood by' is fine. Suggestion: replace 'see' with 'sing' and 'done' with 'down'.

× Absolutely. I think singing really leaves people's spirits and improves their mood because music relaxes listeners and helps them forget daily worries and pressure.

✓ Absolutely. I think singing really lifts people's spirits and improves their mood because music relaxes listeners and helps them forget daily worries and pressures.

'Leaves people's spirits' is wrong word choice; correct phrasal verb is 'lifts people's spirits'. Also 'pressure' in this context is better plural 'pressures' or 'pressure' uncountable; 'pressures' fits with 'worries'. Suggestion: use 'lifts people's spirits' and 'daily worries and pressures'.

× For example, when I'm feeling down, I always put on an upbeat song.

✓ For example, when I'm feeling down, I always put on an upbeat song.

This sentence is grammatically correct and needs no changes.

× It helps me shake off sadness and feel more positive.

✓ It helps me shake off sadness and feel more positive.
