Writing exercise

Original

My favorite music is pop music, but sometimes i will listen to K-pop as well.I usually listen to music on my way to school or take a shower at home. I like a singer called Angela who is a very famous in China, because her songs and personalities are always inspire people a lot. The first song l can sing was her masterpiece ‘Invisible wings’ and that song even as a topic in the college entrance examination many years ago. However, my favourite song is called ‘ In fact i am okay’. The singer is an actor who had an accident when he acted a movie and his skin was burned. This song tells his experiences and i was deeply in touch by this song. In my daily life, i think i am a confident singer, because i am very good at singing and i took part in our school singing competition for many times and won the first prize.
