Part 1

Do you prefer sad or happy music?

Score: 72.0

Suggestion: Correct grammar (e.g., "prefer happy music", "sad songs help me") and avoid pluralizing "music." Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words (e.g., "because", "however"). Keep it under five sentences and be concise.

Example: I usually prefer happy music because it makes me feel energetic and motivated. For example, I play upbeat songs when I exercise or need to focus, since the rhythm keeps me active. However, I sometimes listen to sad songs to calm down after a stressful day.

Does happy music make you feel more excited?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Use correct pronouns and verb forms ("yes, it is" or "yes, happy music is") and vary vocabulary to avoid repetition. Give a concise topic sentence, then one specific example of when it helps, using linking words like "for example" or "so."

Example: Yes, happy music does make me feel more excited. For example, when I exercise I play fast-tempo songs, so I feel more energetic and can train harder. It also boosts my mood when I’m tired.

Have you taken any music classes?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Provide a direct topic sentence and a clear reason using correct grammar and concise structure. Use linking words ("because", "so") and avoid repeating ideas. Add one brief detail about past interests or future plans if relevant.

Example: No, I haven’t taken any music classes because I was more interested in sports like football and tennis when I was younger. Although some friends recommended music lessons, I never signed up, but I might try a beginner class in the future.

Do you listen to music while doing other things?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Combine ideas to avoid repetition and use correct collocations ("listen to music", "when I work out"). Start with a topic sentence, then give two specific situations with linking words and a clear reason.

Example: Yes, I often listen to music while I work out or study because it boosts my energy and concentration. For example, I play upbeat playlists at the gym to stay motivated, and I use soft instrumental tracks while studying to relax and focus.

Grammar

Incorrect use of quantifiers

× However, most of the time I prefer to happy musics because it helps me feel more energetic and motivated.

However, most of the time I prefer happy music because it helps me feel more energetic and motivated.

'Happy music' is an uncountable noun phrase; do not use the plural 'musics'. Also 'prefer to happy musics' is ungrammatical: use 'prefer happy music' or 'prefer to listen to happy music'. The verb 'helps' correctly agrees with the singular 'music'. To improve, treat 'music' as uncountable and include 'to listen to' if you want the infinitive structure (e.g., 'I prefer to listen to happy music').

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Occasionally I listen sad songs, they helps me, they help me to relax.

Occasionally I listen to sad songs; they help me to relax.

When referring to 'songs' use plural pronoun 'they' and the verb must be 'help' (not 'helps') to agree with plural subject. Also use the correct verb pattern 'listen to' and combine clauses correctly (semicolon or separate sentences). Improve by using 'listen to sad songs' and matching plural verb forms: 'they help me to relax.'

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Yes, they are quite helpful when I work or exercise.

Yes, it is quite helpful when I work or exercise.

The pronoun should refer to 'happy music' (singular or uncountable), so use 'it' not 'they'. Match verb 'is' with singular 'it'. Alternatively, if you mean 'happy songs', use 'they are'. Ensure pronoun agrees with the noun it replaces.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I listen happy music and they help me feel more energetic and uplifted.

I listen to happy music and it helps me feel more energetic and uplifted.

Use 'listen to' with 'music' and use singular pronoun 'it' to refer to 'happy music' (uncountable). The verb should be 'helps' to agree with 'it'. If using plural 'songs', use 'they help'.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Also they are helpful to boost my mood.

Also, it is helpful for boosting my mood.

Again, refer to 'happy music' with singular 'it' and use a natural collocation 'helpful for boosting' or 'helps boost'. Match article and verb agreement. Improve clarity by using consistent reference: 'it helps boost my mood.'

Past tense issue

× No, I haven't taken any music classes because I was interested more sports like football and tennis but my friends recommend me to take those classes but I didn't sign up.

No, I haven't taken any music classes because I was more interested in sports like football and tennis, and my friends recommended that I take those classes, but I didn't sign up.

Several issues: use 'interested in' with the preposition 'in' (preposition error), and 'more interested in sports' not 'interested more sports' (word order and quantifier). 'Recommend' should be past 'recommended' to match 'I didn't sign up' (past tense consistency). Also use 'recommend that I take' or 'recommended I take' and add commas for clarity. Improve by correcting prepositions, tense consistency, and sentence structure.

Incorrect use of prepositions

× Yes, absolutely. I often listen music when I workout or work.

Yes, absolutely. I often listen to music when I work out or work.

Use the phrasal verb 'listen to' (preposition 'to' required). 'Workout' as a verb should be two words 'work out'. Keep parallel structure: 'when I work out or work.' Improve by using correct verb-preposition combinations and spacing.

Verb + -ing form

× It's so helpful to boost my energy and it is motivating.

It's so helpful for boosting my energy, and it is motivating.

After 'helpful', use 'for' + gerund ('for boosting') or use 'helps boost' + object. 'To boost' is not wrong but 'helpful for boosting' is more natural here. Ensure parallelism and clarity. Suggestion: 'It helps boost my energy and is motivating.'

Incorrect use of prepositions

× So I listen music for relaxing or after studying.

So I listen to music to relax or after studying.

Use 'listen to' (preposition 'to') and the correct structure 'to relax' (infinitive) rather than 'for relaxing' in this context. 'After studying' is fine. Improve by using 'listen to music to relax.'
