Part 1

Do you prefer sad or happy music?

Score: 58.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and fluent: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (uh, umm), correct grammar (e.g., 'catchy songs', 'on the other hand', 'choose melancholic songs'), and provide one brief specific example to support your preference. Limit to 3–4 sentences.

Example: I enjoy both sad and happy music. When I'm happy I usually listen to catchy pop songs because their upbeat rhythm uplifts my mood. On the other hand, when I'm feeling down I choose melancholic acoustic tracks because their lyrics help me reflect and feel understood.

Does happy music make you feel more excited?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Improve pronunciation and grammar, remove fillers, and organize ideas with linking words (for example, 'also' or 'moreover'). Correct phrases like 'catching sound' to 'catchy songs' and 'when I am working and running' and 'it keeps me motivated.' Give one brief specific example of a song or artist.

Example: Yes, absolutely. I have a playlist of catchy songs on my phone that I play when I'm bored because they quickly lift my mood. I also listen to the same playlist while working out, for example upbeat tracks by Dua Lipa, because they keep me motivated.

Have you taken any music classes?

Score: 55.0

Suggestion: Clarify tense and be specific: state past and present clearly ('I took music classes at school' vs 'I currently take lessons'). Fix grammar: 'one or two twice a week' is confusing—say 'once or twice a week'. Use concrete details about what you learned and avoid vague negatives like 'I have enjoyed any major music classes.'

Example: Yes, I took music classes at primary and secondary school, where we learned about musical notes and different instruments. Currently I attend music lessons once or twice a week to practice singing and basic piano; these classes help me improve my rhythm and sight-reading skills.

Do you listen to music while doing other things?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Good content and structure; improve natural phrasing and add a linking word or brief reason for each activity. Avoid slight grammar errors: begin with 'Yes, listening to music while doing other things has become a habit for me.' Add a short specific example to enrich the answer.

Example: Yes, listening to music while doing other things has become a habit for me. For example, I play instrumental study playlists while studying to concentrate, upbeat pop when working out to stay energetic, and folk music while doing chores because it makes the tasks more enjoyable.

Grammar

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× When I'm happy, I prefer listening to catchy song uh, it.

When I'm happy, I prefer listening to catchy songs.

The adjective 'catchy' modifies the plural noun 'songs' not a singular 'song' here because the context implies listening to music in general. Also remove filler words and the extraneous 'it'. Use plural 'songs' to match general preference.

27: Subject-verb agreement errors

× They help me uplift my mood, uh and umm in.

They help lift my mood.

The original uses 'help me uplift' which is awkward; 'help' followed by base verb 'lift' is more natural. Remove unnecessary pronoun 'me' after 'help' and filler words. Also drop the stray 'in' which is ungrammatical.

26: Sentence structure errors

× In the other hand, when I'm feeling down, I prefer to uh, choosing uh, uh, melancholic songs.

On the other hand, when I'm feeling down, I prefer choosing melancholic songs.

Fixed the idiom to 'on the other hand' and changed 'prefer to choosing' (mixed infinitive and gerund) to 'prefer choosing' which correctly follows 'prefer' with a gerund. Removed filler words.

6: Present tense issue

× When I feel bored, uh, I've got a playlist, uh, of catching sound on my phone that I listen to.

When I feel bored, I have a playlist of catchy songs on my phone that I listen to.

Use simple present 'have' instead of contraction 'I've got' for clarity in spoken preference. Correct 'catching sound' to 'catchy songs' (adjective + plural noun). Maintain present tense 'listen to' consistent with habitual action.

22: Article errors

× Uh, they really help me uplift my mood and I also listen to uh, that list playlist when I working and running because it keep me motivated.

They really help lift my mood, and I also listen to that playlist when I'm working or running because it keeps me motivated.

Correct verb forms: 'when I working' -> 'when I'm working' and 'it keep' -> 'it keeps' (subject-verb agreement). Remove redundant words 'list' before 'playlist'. Use 'or' rather than 'and' to indicate alternatives while doing either activity. Use 'help lift' rather than 'help me uplift' for natural phrasing.

5: Past tense issue

× Yes, I do take some music classes. When I was a student in a primary and secondary school we had music class and now one or two twice a week where we learn about tune, musical note and different instruments.

Yes, I did take some music classes. When I was a student in primary and secondary school we had music class, and now I take one or two classes twice a week where we learn about tunes, musical notes, and different instruments.

Use past tense 'did take' to match 'When I was a student' for past action. Clarify 'primary and secondary school' without 'a'. For present recurring classes use present simple 'I take'. Make nouns plural ('tunes', 'musical notes') and add comma for readability.

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Other than that I have enjoyed any major music classes.

Other than that, I have not taken any major music classes.

The original 'I have enjoyed any major music classes' is semantically incorrect. Likely intended meaning is absence of major classes: use negative 'not taken'. Also add comma after introductory phrase.

26: Sentence structure errors

× Yes, listen to music while doing other things has become a habit for me.

Yes, listening to music while doing other things has become a habit for me.

Sentence lacked a proper gerund form as subject. Use 'listening' to function as noun phrase subject. This fixes sentence structure.
