Music— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence, correct grammar for tense and articles, and avoid repetition. Start with a short direct answer (e.g., “I prefer both, depending on my mood.”), then add one specific supporting detail and a linking word. Watch verb forms (e.g., “it depends,” “I used to listen” or “I listen”).

Example: I prefer both kinds of music depending on my mood. For example, when I’m feeling sad I often listen to mellow, slower songs to relax, whereas when I’m happy I choose upbeat pop or dance tracks to match my energy.

Suggestion: Give a direct yes/no answer followed by a clear reason and one concrete example. Use simple, correct sentences and linking words like “because” or “for example.” Avoid fillers and unclear pronouns. Clarify what “they” refers to and explain how the music affects you.

Example: Yes, happy music does make me feel more excited because the fast tempo and cheerful lyrics lift my mood. For example, when I listen to upbeat pop songs I feel more energetic and motivated to move or sing along.

Suggestion: Answer directly and correct verb forms: use present perfect (“I haven’t taken”) or simple past if appropriate. Provide a brief reason and, if relevant, mention an alternative way you engage with music to add content and interest.

Example: No, I haven’t taken any music classes because I’m not very interested in learning an instrument. However, I enjoy listening to different genres and sometimes watch online tutorials just to learn more about my favourite artists.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give specific examples and use correct verb forms and prepositions. Use linking words like “for example” or “such as” and avoid vague phrases like “watch the days.”

Example: Yes, I often listen to music while doing other activities. For example, I play instrumental music when I do homework to concentrate, and I listen to upbeat tracks while exercising or doing housework to stay motivated.

× Both of music, both type of tips music, it's all my favorite.

✓ Both kinds of music, both types of music, are my favorites.

Student used incorrect noun phrases and pronouns: 'Both of music' and 'both type of tips music' are ungrammatical. Use 'both' with a plural noun: 'both kinds of music' or 'both types of music'. Also use plural 'favorites' to agree with plural subject. Suggestion: say 'Both kinds of music are my favorites.'

× It's depend on my mood, especially when I'm.

✓ It depends on my mood, especially.

Student used wrong verb form 'depend' after 'it'. For present simple with third-person singular subject use 'depends'. The fragment 'especially when I'm.' is incomplete; remove or complete it. Suggestion: 'It depends on my mood, especially.' or 'It depends on my mood, especially how I feel.'

× When I was sad, I used to listen to this sad music and when I was happy, I prefer to listen to the happy music.

✓ When I was sad, I used to listen to sad music, and when I am happy, I prefer to listen to happy music.

Sentence mixes past habitual 'used to' with present preference 'prefer' but keeps 'was happy' (past). Keep tenses consistent: use past for past habits ('When I was sad, I used to...') and present for general current preferences ('when I am happy, I prefer...'). Also drop unnecessary articles before uncountable 'music'.

× Yes it does more umm happy music when I listen that they the music like have gave me more detail about how they get happy.

✓ Yes, happy music does. When I listen to it, the music makes me feel more cheerful and gives me details about how people become happy.

Original has many problems but primary tense and verb issues: 'does more' is incorrect; respond with 'happy music does.' 'When I listen that they the music like have gave me' misuses pronouns and past participle 'gave'. Use 'listen to it' and present simple 'makes' and present perfect/past simple appropriately: 'gives me' or 'gave me'. Suggestion: simplify to 'When I listen to it, the music makes me feel more cheerful and shows how people become happy.'

× I haven't take any music classes because I'm really not interested in it, I'm just listening to it.

✓ I haven't taken any music classes because I'm really not interested in them; I just listen to music.

After 'have' (auxiliary for present perfect) use past participle 'taken', not base form 'take'. Also 'music classes' is plural so pronoun should be 'them' or rephrase. Use 'listen to music' instead of 'listening to it' for a general habit. Suggestion: 'I haven't taken any music classes because I'm not interested; I just listen to music.'

× Yes, I do listen to the music while I do homework or do some housework like when I watch the days and doing some exercise.

✓ Yes, I listen to music while I do homework or housework, for example when I watch TV or do some exercise.

Redundant 'do' and incorrect phrase 'watch the days' should be 'watch TV' or 'watch videos'. Use parallel gerunds: 'do homework or housework' and 'watch TV or do exercise'. Remove 'the' before 'music' in general statements. Suggestion: 'Yes, I listen to music while I do homework, do housework, watch TV, or exercise.'
