“Describe the time when you had to sing a song or a poem in front of public”

It depends on the personal taste. Generally speaking, teenagers like songs with fast beats and adults like songs with good lyrics and soft music.

A song should have good lyrics, a good composition, a pleasing voice and a good video to be liked by people.

In my country, people sing together on birthday parties, marriages, anniversaries and national holidays like the Independence Day and so on.

I think folk songs are very suitable for children because they keep children connected to their culture and traditions.
As it is, today’s children are following the global culture and so, they need to be kept in touch with the traditional culture. Folk songs are a good way to connect with our culture.
5. Do you often (like to) sing?
Yes, I like to sing, but as my singing abilities are not pretty good so I sing only in the bathroom or when I am alone.
