Actually, from the fluency and grammar perspective it is perfect English to say " Ever since I became a singer, I am actually surprised how often I get to travel to Australia...." Your suggestion is fine, but the present perfect version sounds too cumbersome from an everyday-usage application. The person may not have realized early on, but the realization had happened at a later time. So with the present perfect form it actually suggests that once she started her career as a singer, she immediately realized "how surprised she has been" Therefore, I am surprised - expresses a general feeling with no time constrain. For those who are not grammar-critical, it is important to know "since" is a conjunction which usually is associated with a main clause. Since - can be used at the beginning or at the subordinate clause. Take this sentence for example, "I am actually surprised how often I get to travel to Australia ever since I became a singer." / I have become a singer. Personally, since and the present perfect is more grammatical. Ever since- suggests sometimes in the past. Since - on the other hand, suggests a given starting point from the past. There is a syntactic difference.
I just googled the singer as I wasn't familiar with her. Based on this clip, I'm surprised she was born in Hong Kong. I think she's able to insinuate that she's an "ABC", and even native speakers wouldn't question her. She's very fluent for sure.
“Actually” and “Really” have the same meaning and it seems to me that the celebrity has a habit of using them quite frequently. She said it 5 times in this short speech. You’re correct! “I actually really....” doesn’t sound right.
There are instances where this is the case too. I was saying that the simple past tense is more commonly used as far as my experience goes. That’s all.
I meant "present perfect" tense to indicate period of time from past to present. The singer still performs her career as singer since from past to now. During that period of time she experienced ....... This is only sharing logical thinking.

Even though this is a question posed a year ago, I am going to try to give you my interpretation of your question. 首先 I am surprised 意思係驚訝,意料之外. Surprised - here is a past participle used as a verbal adjective, usually with passive connotation, like I am embarrassed, something causes you to feel embarrassed. Another idiomatic phrase: Get to do something 可解作能得到机会. 成句討論句子的軸心意思是：其實我能夠经常到澳洲登台是我意料不到的.
I don't think you hit the main points. HK school teachers are too into textbook English and unable to see beyond it. English native speakers speak with 'cultural' element (American, British, Canadian or whatever..). Hong Kong teachers are not up to it. Hong Kong English, by far, should not be considered "STANDARD ENGLISH" and would be foolish to do so.
Good analysis! Shiga's (what a funny name but very typical of HK-ers, another one is Rimsky which could roughly mean a toilet seat) spoken English is not an issue 'cause her accent is not apparent, but it's quite obvious that she thinks in Chinese, native English speakers rarely use "ever since" to start off a sentence.

No matter how long is the length of your video, I love to watch it! It's very practical and useful! Thank you so much!
YL C thank you so much 😘😘😘
I think the duration of this video is just right. 😊
You absolutely did a great job.
I really enjoy this kind of videos.
Looking forward to most of them are coming.
I am looking forward to (seeing) more of your future video
連小姐，樣靚身材正又有學識。正是時代女性一族！，
看了你一連串名人英語，有學習營養！愈來愈有效率！（例如速度，字幕，節奏）加油！支持！
我覺得8mins左右唔錯~唔會太長~活學活用~this short film is a lot more useful than i thought.
Even since i became a so-called student of you, I 100% support your way you're giving out your knowledge.
Thank you so much. It's good as long as you feel comfortable about the length of the video.
贊成短時間一點，學精一點。謝謝你的用心製作。
Wong IJK 多謝你😊❤️❤️
辛苦你!多謝你為大家咁努力!
Love your video. I learn something new every time. I don't mind it is the short one. Many thanks!
多謝妳分享，現在精選教學好好，雖然我本人英文水平差，但聽到妳教學會有小小知道英文知識幫助。謝謝
Thanks for your sharing. I do learn from your video. Please keep up the good work.
I'm fine with any length, u r doing such a great job!
Just a little suggestion here. 有冇做過徐子珊，她不是abc那類，地道香港出世、長大，只是外國讀大學，但英文也可以講得很好，我覺得幾值得參考。
乜嘢系ABC那类呢
ABC=American-born Chinese, 即係native speaker
仲有謝安琪，講得好好

I learn much on your video and appreciated your great work.
YES, 我當然知啦, 但以一個英文不好的我(們), 能夠跟外國人溝通到, 已是非常非常開心, 這時, 那管英文要理甚麼東西? THX

She went to international school in hk.
Oh I see. So I suppose international school is what makes all the difference. It doesn't sound very affordable though or does it?
Only this HK KOL thought that her English was better than Shiga and tried to point out what mistakes Shiga has made.
@@stevieh4599 Agree, who actually care if someone don't speak English in perect grammar? Well maybe only teachers
🙆🏻♀️講得非常好，又學到嘢，太短反而未必講到太多嘢
長度好適合，唔該晒🙏
好好，好實用 支持
支持呢d 影片，加油!

Is pretty good for the length of the video, and I have learned and correct my mistakes from your video. Tqvm
“Actually” and “Really” have the same meaning and it seems to me that the celebrity has a habit of using them quite frequently. She said it 5 times in this short speech. You’re correct! “I actually really....” doesn’t sound right.
'Ever since' should be followed by present past tense as the situation happened since past to now. So, the singer's English is ok and right.
There are instances where this is the case too. I was saying that the simple past tense is more commonly used as far as my experience goes. That’s all.
I meant "present perfect" tense to indicate period of time from past to present. The singer still performs her career as singer since from past to now. During that period of time she experienced .......

It's great,thanks.
長短剛好!
唔好太辛苦就好，支持阿。學到好多句式👍👍👍加油
唔駛怕或有咁嘅諗法邊個怪妳唔怪妳。just do it.
Thank you
其實人嘅注意力在25分鐘左右
不過個人覺得
關鍵不在於時間長短
而是閣下的講授方式有很大的進步空間
其實有時候過於認真，過於嚴肅會給人略微有點沉悶的感覺，然後時間自然覺得長
其實一些教育方面的教授話，其實講課途中應該加一點幽默輕鬆的內容，活躍一下大家的思維，是不是會好點呢？
好像以前上一點教授的課，他們都會舉一點風趣幽默的例子，讓內容不會太過沉默。。
多謝你意見！我會努力改進😊
請問如果是在reported speech 中使用ever since 句子型，tense 將要如何處理？thx
‘I have always loved music ever since I was born’ he said. -> he said that he had always loved music ever since he was/ had been born.
同你平時學個sequence of tenses係一樣架。

維持10分鐘內是最好！
請問：l am actually really surprised how often we get to travel to Australia 是甚麼意思？她想說自從她成為歌手後，就怎樣？
佢想說自從成為歌手後， 佢好驚訝能夠成日去澳洲旅遊。

多謝你令我對英文又有返了興趣， 希望你繼續可以俾到更多的影片我哋，多謝你😘
Good job
謝謝分享
6至10分中最好
thank you for sharing. “ever since" 如果你没说，我还真的不会留意到. thanks.
十分鐘內很好，簡而精會容易記，而且每次你講英文時，我都跟著學口音😬
Time is suitable I think.
多謝分享

10-15分鐘都可接受啊！你講得清楚時，15分鐘好快過啊！
声音我好喜欢 甜甜的
支持👍我覺得10分鐘以內比較好😄
如果 Ever since 變 Since I've become ..., , I've actually felt ... 咁ok嗎?
比較少咁講
maybe 同may的区别可以讲下么？
就不如搵集講托哥英文，唔一定要用名人
支持你噶👍👍
感謝Dora ❤️
真系教得好好，好細心💕
感謝 Maggie 繼續加油
The length of the video should not be too long. Within 10 minutes is fine.
OK thanks

請問on 1怎翻譯成中文，謝謝。
邊度有on 1？
只是要參考一下，On 1的中文是不是在1上？正創作一個童話故事，打算扮演外星人到聯合國發表以下外星信息：
4PKs, don't move the Earth to the Jupiter. If the Earth 4, u 4. Silly B, to answer the call of the nature, go to the John eat 1 and drink 2 for 00.
Finnie's Language Arts 知道On 1的中文之後就會知道On 2的中文，如此類推。

佢d英文咪又係中文思維模式，咁多「actually」老外唔會常用亦唔係咁用架。香港人就大把開口埋口都actually，查下字典點用「actually」pretty please?🙂
長短都冇問題！
呢個片長ok no worry
10 to 15 mins would be fine.
Just because your spoken English sounds good doesn't mean you will speak or write it grammatically just as well.
6 or up to 15 mins is fine with me
👍👍👍
Why most people carry American accent. Because English diction is difficult unless you are raised in CENTRAL UK.
Ok 喎，學到嘢就得啦
fannie 你好可愛😂
no problem...
fine ,very good
长度15分钟以内都OK,毕竟系教学影片，太长好多人会无耐性，不过最紧要系影片内容实用
我留意咗好耐，見唔到讀th嘅字有咬脷
沒錯！
贊成7至8分鐘

講得很好，不算長
10-12分鐘會較適中, 6-8分鐘太短了, 說不了多少東西

好好啊，長的可以cut成幾長
