× Or happy music, honestly I prefer I prefer happy music because it leaves my mood, especially in the morning.
✓ I prefer happy music because it improves my mood, especially in the morning.
The student used 'leaves my mood' which is incorrect verb choice and tense. Use 'improves' (present simple) to describe habitual effect. Suggestion: use appropriate verbs for mood (improve, lift) and avoid repeating words ('I prefer I prefer').
× It raise it could raise me up.
✓ It can raise my mood.
Mix of modal and verb conjugation is incorrect. 'Raise' with modal 'could' should be base form, but phrasing is awkward. Use 'can raise' or 'could raise' + object 'my mood'. Ensure subject and verb agree and include the object.
× Umm for example, I'll be songs has me uh concentrate why I work and keep me motivated to finish tasks.
✓ For example, songs help me concentrate when I work and keep me motivated to finish tasks.
The original has incorrect modal/auxiliary use ('I'll be'), wrong verb forms ('has me concentrate why I work'), and wrong word choice. Correct by using simple present 'help me concentrate when I work' for habitual actions.
× Of course, especially when I exhausted, I tend to listen to happy music which can cheer me up as well as a live my spirit.
✓ Of course, especially when I'm exhausted, I tend to listen to happy music which can cheer me up and lift my spirits.
Missing auxiliary 'am' for present continuous/state ('I'm exhausted') and wrong verb 'a live' should be 'lift' and 'spirit' should be plural 'spirits' with 'lift'. Use 'lift my spirits' as correct idiom.
× Moreover, when I feel tired or bored, I beat Melodies can remind me of positive energies.
✓ Moreover, when I feel tired or bored, upbeat melodies can remind me of positive energy.
'I beat Melodies' is meaningless; correct adjective is 'upbeat' and 'melodies' lowercase. 'Positive energies' is uncountable in this context; use 'positive energy'. Also remove stray 'I'.
× Uh, not really actually. I just attended a music classes uh glasses when I started at my primary school because at that time music was considered as a mandatory subject uh, in my curriculum.
✓ Not really. I just attended music classes when I started primary school because at that time music was considered a mandatory subject in my curriculum.
Incorrect article use: 'a music classes' should be 'music classes' (plural, no 'a'). 'Started at my primary school' -> 'started primary school'. Remove filler words. 'Considered as' -> 'considered' is sufficient.
× However, in the future if I have a chance, I surely to attend a music or formal music lessons to improve my voices and grasp more knowledge about music.
✓ However, in the future if I have a chance, I will surely attend music or formal music lessons to improve my voice and learn more about music.
Missing auxiliary/modal before 'attend' ('will surely attend'). 'Voices' should be singular 'voice'. 'Grasp more knowledge' is awkward; 'learn more' is natural. Remove extra articles: 'a music or formal music lessons' -> 'music or formal music lessons'.
× Oh, definitely. For me, listening to music and has me, uh, focus on the think I, I am doing, especially when I work.
✓ Oh, definitely. For me, listening to music helps me focus on the things I am doing, especially when I work.
Incorrect verb phrase 'and has me' should be 'helps me'. 'Think' should be plural 'things'. Use present simple 'helps' for habitual action.
× When I work, I tend to listen to some music to help me concentrate on my, to improve my concentration while working work my working more.
✓ When I work, I tend to listen to music to help me concentrate and improve my focus while working.
Original has repetition and misplaced phrases ('concentrate on my, to improve my concentration', 'work my working more'). Simplify to 'help me concentrate and improve my focus' for clarity.
× Listening to music also has give me, uh, motive, give me a sense. Motivation. What to finish the task?
✓ Listening to music has also given me motivation and a sense of purpose to finish tasks.
Incorrect tense/form 'has give' should be present perfect 'has given'. 'Motive' is wrong noun; use 'motivation' and 'sense of purpose' to express intention. Combine fragmented sentences into a complete one.
