Part 1
Examiner
Do you prefer sad or happy music?
Candidate
I prefer happy music. I believe happy music improves your ability to be happy for the whole day. Umm it's just a way to boost your mental health. So I would rather listen a good music where I could dance and enjoy the day then be sad at home.
Examiner
Does happy music make you feel more excited?
Candidate
Definitely, I think this is the point of the music, to make you more excited. In an example, if I'm listening a good music, when I wake up I will Just Dance and this will refresh my mind and then I will be happy to uh, enjoy my day.
Examiner
Have you taken any music classes?
Candidate
Not since I became my adult adult, but when I was a teenager I had guitar classes. Uh, my mom took me to this place where the teacher was very famous and popular in my city and I remember that my friend used to enjoy guitar. So my mom decided to put me in this guitar lessons. But I.
Examiner
Do you listen to music while doing other things?
Candidate
Yes I do, especially when I'm cleaning my home. I would prefer to put a a happy music and that's why I'm sweeping the floor or mopping the floor. Or even when I'm I'm studying I like to put in some classical music to focus.
Do you prefer sad or happy music?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammar: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid filler words like "umm" and incorrect articles (use "listen to good music").
Example: I prefer happy music because it lifts my mood throughout the day. For example, upbeat songs make me want to dance, which boosts my energy and helps me stay positive while I work or travel.
Does happy music make you feel more excited?
Score: 75.0Suggestion: Give a direct yes/no with a brief reason and a clear, specific example. Remove hesitations and correct phrasing ("listen to good music", "I just dance"). Use a linking phrase like "for example" properly.
Example: Yes, it does, because upbeat rhythms raise my energy levels. For example, when I listen to lively pop songs in the morning, I usually get up and dance, which refreshes my mind and puts me in a good mood for the day.
Have you taken any music classes?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Provide a clear, grammatical response with a concise timeline and one specific detail. Avoid repetition and unfinished sentences. Use linking words such as "however" or "when" to show sequence.
Example: Not as an adult, but I took guitar lessons as a teenager. My mother enrolled me with a well-known local teacher because a friend enjoyed playing too, and I studied for about two years before stopping.
Do you listen to music while doing other things?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: Answer directly, then give two specific activities and link them with reasons. Correct small errors ("play happy music", remove duplicated words). Keep it within 3–4 sentences.
Example: Yes, I often do. For example, I play upbeat, happy music while cleaning because it makes chores feel quicker, and I listen to soft classical music when studying to help me concentrate.
× So I would rather listen a good music where I could dance and enjoy the day then be sad at home.
✓ So I would rather listen to good music where I could dance and enjoy the day than be sad at home.
After 'rather' with 'would' we use 'rather + infinitive' or 'rather + verb' structure; here 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by a noun (listen to music). Also use 'than' (not 'then') to make comparisons. Remove the article 'a' before 'good music' because 'music' is an uncountable noun and does not take 'a'. Suggestion: Use 'would rather listen to good music than be sad' for a concise form.
× In an example, if I'm listening a good music, when I wake up I will Just Dance and this will refresh my mind and then I will be happy to uh, enjoy my day.
✓ For example, if I'm listening to good music when I wake up, I will just dance and this will refresh my mind and then I will be happy to enjoy my day.
Use 'for example' instead of 'in an example'. 'Listen' needs the preposition 'to' with 'music'. Capitalization: 'Just Dance' is unnecessary; use 'just dance' in running text. Remove filler 'uh' and place commas correctly. Also 'a' before 'good music' is incorrect because 'music' is uncountable. Suggestion: Keep 'if' clause with present continuous and main clause with future 'will' as shown.
× Not since I became my adult adult, but when I was a teenager I had guitar classes.
✓ Not since I became an adult, but when I was a teenager I took guitar classes.
'Adult' is a countable noun in this meaning and requires the indefinite article 'an'. Repeating 'adult' is a mistake. Use 'took guitar classes' or 'had guitar lessons' instead of 'had guitar classes' for natural phrasing. Suggestion: Use 'Not since I became an adult' or 'I haven't taken any since I became an adult'.
× So my mom decided to put me in this guitar lessons.
✓ So my mom decided to put me in these guitar lessons.
'Lessons' is plural, so the demonstrative should be 'these' not 'this'. Alternatively use 'put me into guitar lessons' or more naturally 'enroll me in guitar lessons'. Suggestion: 'My mom enrolled me in guitar lessons' is more idiomatic.
× But I.
✓ But I didn't continue.
The fragment 'But I.' is an incomplete sentence lacking a verb and object. Complete the thought to match context; for example 'But I didn't continue' or 'But I stopped' clarifies what happened. Suggestion: Avoid sentence fragments; combine with previous sentence if needed.
× I would prefer to put a a happy music and that's why I'm sweeping the floor or mopping the floor.
✓ I prefer to play happy music when I'm sweeping or mopping the floor.
You 'play' music or 'put on' music; you don't 'put' music in that way. Remove the duplicated 'a a' and the incorrect article before 'happy music' since 'music' is uncountable. Also use a more natural structure: 'I prefer to play happy music when I'm sweeping or mopping'. Suggestion: Use 'play' or 'put on' and omit unnecessary articles.
× Or even when I'm I'm studying I like to put in some classical music to focus.
✓ Or even when I'm studying I like to put on some classical music to help me focus.
Use 'put on' (phrasal verb) or 'play' with music, not 'put in'. Remove the repeated 'I'm'. Add 'help me' to clarify purpose: 'to help me focus'. Suggestion: 'I like to play classical music to help me focus' is natural.
× Definitely, I think this is the point of the music, to make you more excited.
✓ Definitely. I think this is the point of music: to make you more excited.
Use 'music' without the definite article when speaking of music in general. Punctuation and sentence division improve clarity. Suggestion: 'the point of music' is more natural than 'the point of the music' unless referring to specific music.
× In an example, if I'm listening a good music, when I wake up I will Just Dance and this will refresh my mind and then I will be happy to uh, enjoy my day.
✓ For example, if I'm listening to good music when I wake up, I will just dance and this will refresh my mind and then I will be happy to enjoy my day.
(Combined issues: 'in an example' should be 'for example'; 'listening to' required; 'a' before 'good music' incorrect; 'Just Dance' capitalization and filler 'uh' removed.) Suggestion: Use concise phrasing and correct prepositions.
