Music— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference (or that it depends), then give one or two specific reasons or examples using linking words (e.g., "because", "for example"). Avoid trailing fragments.

Example: It depends on my mood: sometimes I prefer sad music because it helps me reflect, and other times I choose happy music to boost my energy. For example, I listen to calm piano pieces when I study, but upbeat pop when I exercise.

Suggestion: Answer directly and improve grammar and fluency. Use a clear topic sentence (Yes/No/It depends), then explain with a reason and a brief example. Use linking words like "however" or "sometimes" to show contrast.

Example: Sometimes happy music does make me feel more excited, especially songs with a fast tempo and strong rhythm. However, not all happy songs have that effect; for instance, mellow acoustic pop can feel cheerful but not energising.

Suggestion: Use correct tense and a clearer structure: state when you took classes, what they were, and whether you still do them. Keep sentences short and avoid awkward phrasing.

Example: Yes. I took piano lessons when I was ten and continued sporadically until 2020. Since then I haven't taken any formal classes, although I still practise occasionally at home.

Suggestion: Provide a direct answer followed by specific details about which activities and why. Use linking words like "because" or "for example" and avoid repeating phrases.

Example: Yes, I often listen to music while I study and cook because it helps me relax and focus. For example, I play instrumental tracks when I work and upbeat songs while doing housework.

× In different times I prefer sad music, and in different times I prefer happy music. It's.

✓ At different times I prefer sad music, and at other times I prefer happy music.

The original sentence uses 'In different times' which is awkward and unidiomatic; 'At different times' or 'At other times' is the correct prepositional phrase (preposition error categorized under present tense/context). Also 'It's.' is incomplete and should be removed. Suggest using parallel structure 'at different times' and 'at other times' to express changing preferences clearly.

× To be honest, I think sometimes it's really happy music, make me feel more excited, but not always and not every music.

✓ To be honest, I think sometimes really happy music makes me feel more excited, but not always and not every song.

The verb phrase 'make' should agree with the singular subject 'music' (third person singular), so it should be 'makes'. Also 'it's really happy music' is awkward; omit 'it's' or rephrase. 'Every music' is incorrect; use 'every song' or 'every piece of music'. This fixes subject-verb agreement and noun choice.

× When I was 10 I have taken music classes but since 2020 year I haven't it.

✓ When I was 10 I took music classes, but since 2020 I haven't taken any.

The past action 'When I was 10' requires simple past 'took', not present perfect 'have taken'. The clause 'since 2020' should use present perfect negative 'haven't taken' to show an action not occurring from that time until now; include the main verb 'taken' and an object like 'any'. Also remove the redundant word 'year' after '2020'.

× Yes I do because I really relax when I listen sad or happy music.

✓ Yes, I do because I really relax when I listen to sad or happy music.

The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' before its object: 'listen to music'. This is a verb+preposition pattern; the lack of 'to' makes the sentence ungrammatical. Also add a comma after 'Yes' for natural rhythm.
