× I like happy music because it makes me feel.
✓ I like happy music because it makes me feel happy.
The original sentence ends with a verb 'feel' without an object or complement, causing an incomplete sentence (sentence structure error). Add the adjective 'happy' to complete the meaning and match the question about emotion. Suggestion: include the appropriate complement after 'feel' (e.g. feel happy, feel relaxed).
× Yes it does because like when I exercise or exercise when I. I listen to music and it makes me feel more motivated and exercise so.
✓ Yes, it does because when I exercise or work out, I listen to music and it makes me feel more motivated to exercise.
This contains broken and repeated fragments and missing words, making the sentence grammatically incomplete (sentence structure error). Remove filler 'like', eliminate repetition, add missing verbs and connectors, and reorder to clarify meaning. Suggestion: use a single clear clause for the activity (exercise or work out) and 'motivated to' + verb to express purpose or tendency.
× And yes, I have. When I was in junior high school, I we played for music competition in class and I played a piano. So I practiced hard every day. And when I when?
✓ Yes, I have. When I was in junior high school, we played in a music competition at school and I played the piano. So I practiced hard every day.
Errors include unnecessary pronoun 'I' before 'we', incorrect preposition 'for' instead of 'in', article misuse 'a piano' instead of 'the piano', and a trailing incomplete fragment 'And when I when?' (past tense and sentence structure issues). Correct by removing the extra pronoun, using 'played in a music competition', using 'the piano' when referring to a specific instrument the student played, and deleting the incomplete fragment. Suggestion: keep past tense consistent and avoid leaving unfinished questions.
× Yes I do. I often listen to music while I work while studying or exercising. It makes me more concentrate so I often listen to music while doing like healing music.
✓ Yes, I do. I often listen to music while I work, study, or exercise. It helps me concentrate, so I often listen to relaxing (healing) music while doing other things.
Problems: incorrect parallel structure using 'while I work while studying or exercising' and incorrect form 'more concentrate' (should be 'concentrate' as verb or 'more concentrated' as adjective). Also awkward phrase 'while doing like healing music'. Fix by making parallel verbs: 'work, study, or exercise'; use 'helps me concentrate' and clarify 'relaxing (healing) music' and 'while doing other things'. Suggestion: maintain parallel verb forms and use correct collocations (helps me concentrate, relaxing music).
