Assignment 3 : Types of singer in Taiwan (2nd edition)
Types of singer in Taiwan (2nd edition)

Every singer has his or her time(good sentence). In Taiwan, I found that the singers could be divided into 4 groups by their popular periods: (1) the singers who sing the slow love songs; (2) the singers who sing the campus songs; (3) the singers who sing the love songs; and (4) the singers who sing the R&B or Rap.

The first category consists of the singers who caught on (were popular) in the 1960’s and early 1970’s. They presented the love songs by their musical singing voice (有點怪怪的, how about using "beautiful voice") and slow tempo. A good example of a singer who sung the slow love song was 鄧麗君, every (the) audience were enchanted by her sweet and harmonic voice. Till now, many people still miss and favor these singers in the 1960’s and early 1970’s.

The second group consists of the singers who sung or composed the campus songs and caught on in the mid-1970. These singers always played their guitar and composed the songs about the love, country, mood, and the weather. Moreover, the majority of them were young, so the songs they composed were airy and alacritous. Today people are still familiar with some of them and their songs. For example, 羅大佑, 蔡琴, and 潘安邦, they are all brilliant and impressive.

The next category consists of the singers who caught on in the 1970’s and 1980’s. They focused on the love songs, and the songs often sung (delete) were a little faster than the first category. Unlike the singers of the campus songs, the singers in 1970’s and 1980’s didn’t compose the songs. Their songs are different form those of the singers before the 1980’s, and are heard more and sung more in the KTV. The well known pop singer (plural) at this time was (plural) 張清芳, 莫文蔚, 王菲, and 阿妹.

The last group consists of the singers who sing the R&B, and Rap. These singers have caught on (or "have been popular) since 2000’s, and today many young people favor their songs very much. They accentuate their character(plural), and aim for showing themselves. Having self-(distinct personal) style is one of the features of these singers. Young people often feel that they are so cool, different, and charming. That’s why they are popular today. The example(plural) of these singers are: 周杰倫, 陶喆, and 王力宏. At different time has different pop singers (Chinese English, should use the structure of "There are..."), but the same thing is that all of them enrich our life, doesn’t it?

***The organization for this writing is good. Ideas are clear and elaborated. A better work than your prevous assignments. But try to pay attention to some Chinese way of writing.
