Music— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be careful with grammar and redundancy. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct the verb agreement and article use, and add one brief supporting detail using a linking word. Keep it within 3–4 sentences. For example, say why you prefer happy music and give a specific reason or brief example.

Example: I prefer happy music because it lifts my mood and clears my mind. For instance, upbeat songs with catchy rhythms help me feel more positive after a long day.

Suggestion: Avoid vague phrases and improve word order and word choice. Answer directly, correct collocations ("a song by Nikki", not "a music"), and use a linking word to add a specific example or contrast. Limit to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, happy music does make me feel excited. For example, whenever I hear a song by Nikki, I feel energised and relaxed because the rhythm is uplifting.

Suggestion: Clarify timing and use correct verb forms and expressions. Begin with a direct topic sentence (Yes, I have / No, I haven't), then give a specific detail about when and what you did, using linking words for clarity. Correct collocation: "I was in the church choir" or "I sing in my church choir."

Example: Yes, I took music classes in school when I was in a certain grade. Also, I sing in my church choir, which helped me learn basic music theory and improve my voice.

Suggestion: Avoid repetition and fix grammar ("listening to music", not "listening music"). Start with a clear statement, then give specific examples of activities and explain why, using a linking word. Keep to 2–3 sentences and vary vocabulary (calming, soothing, concentrating).

Example: Yes, I usually listen to music while doing other things, such as studying or cooking. It helps me concentrate and feel calm because soothing melodies reduce stress.

× I prefer happy because it's makes me happy and clear my mind.

✓ I prefer happy music because it makes me happy and clears my mind.

The error is using 'it's makes' which incorrectly combines contraction 'it's' (it is) with the third person singular verb 'makes'. Also the verb for 'my mind' must agree in third person singular: 'clears'. Correct by using 'it makes' and 'clears' to match subject-verb agreement. Suggestion: use 'it makes' not 'it's makes', and ensure verbs agree with singular subject (it).

× Yes, like every time I hear a music by Nikki it makes me feel so excited and relaxing.

✓ Yes, every time I hear a song by Nikki, it makes me feel very excited and relaxed.

'A music' is incorrect; 'music' is uncountable, so use 'a song' or just 'music'. 'Relaxing' is an adjective describing something that causes relaxation; to describe a feeling use 'relaxed'. Also punctuation and word order: add a comma after the introductory clause. Suggestion: replace 'a music' with 'a song' and use 'relaxed' for the feeling, and use 'very' rather than 'so' to be more natural if desired.

× Yes, when I'm on my grade night, we have a music subject and I'm a choir on our church.

✓ Yes, in my grade night, we had a music class and I was in the choir at our church.

Tense and article errors: 'when I'm on my grade night' mixes present with past context; if referring to a past event use past tense 'had' and 'was'. 'A music subject' is unnatural — use 'a music class'. 'I'm a choir' is incorrect: 'choir' is a group; use 'I was in the choir'. 'On our church' should be 'at our church'. Suggestion: choose the correct tense for the time referred to (past -> 'had', 'was'), use 'music class' and 'in the choir at our church'.

× Yes, always. I'm always listening music while I'm doing other things because it makes my mind relaxing and peaceful.

✓ Yes, always. I'm always listening to music while I'm doing other things because it makes my mind relaxed and peaceful.

'Listening music' is missing the preposition 'to' (listening to). 'Makes my mind relaxing' uses the active participle 'relaxing' incorrectly to describe the resulting state; use the adjective 'relaxed' to describe how the mind feels. Also 'I'm always' and 'always' repetition is acceptable but redundant. Suggestion: use 'listening to music' and 'makes my mind relaxed' or 'helps me relax' for a more natural phrasing.
