Duffy Duffy is one of my favourite singers. I knew this singer when I stumbled upon a video of an auditioner from a famous talent show singing "Mercy", one of her many famous songs, in her (the auditioner) own special and hilarious version. Since then, I had been starting to search for Duffy's songs and videos. Then I was amazed by her angelic voice. To me, her voice can be likened to the baby's. It is like a bird twittering in the air. Besides "Mercy", I also like her other songs like "Too Hurt To Dance", "Endlessly" and "Breath Away". Recently I like "Too Hurt To Dance" the most. I can listen to it over and over again. I feel I am an addict now. I am writing this notebook entry while listening to the song. So moving and beautiful. Cheers.

This is a very nice writing piece. Casual contexts seem to be your strong point. Look at the sentence structure you use here, and try to bring that into your other writing. A more conservative use of sentence structure will leave you with less mistakes and an easier time writing in general.
