It depends on the music that I'm listening. Some kind of happy music even make me sadder because of the lyrics and the tune that they are using.

Well I have taken some piano glasses when I was in primary school. Now that I am in college they do not really provide piano classes. So it it's been a long I haven't practices practiced.

Does happy music make you feel more excited?
分数: 70.0建议: Begin with a direct topic sentence, use correct subject-verb agreement, and explain with a specific reason or example. Use a linking word (e.g., however, sometimes) to contrast points.
示例: Sometimes happy music makes me excited, but it depends on the song. For instance, an upbeat dance track usually energizes me; however, a song with cheerful melody but sad lyrics can actually make me feel melancholy.

× I prefer both type of music.
✓ I prefer both types of music.
The noun 'type' must agree in number with 'both', which implies two items; therefore use the plural 'types'. Suggestion: match singular/plural by checking words like 'both', 'many', 'several' that require plural nouns.
× I listen sad music when I am stressed or like I'm in the mood to listen,
✓ I listen to sad music when I am stressed or when I'm in the mood to listen,
The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' before an object (listen to music). Also include the conjunction 'when' before the second clause for parallel structure. Suggestion: use 'listen to' and keep parallel 'when' phrases.
× whereas in terms of happy music I listen it when I'm with my friends and I need to turn on my mood.
✓ whereas, when it comes to happy music, I listen to it when I'm with my friends and want to lift my mood.
Use 'when it comes to' for the phrase 'in terms of'. 'Listen' requires the pronoun object with preposition 'to' ('listen to it'). 'I need to turn on my mood' is unnatural; use 'want to lift my mood' or 'cheer up'. Suggestion: replace idiomatic phrases with common collocations and use 'listen to'.
× It depends on the music that I'm listening.
✓ It depends on the music I'm listening to.
The verb 'listen' needs the preposition 'to' at the end in this clause. The present continuous is acceptable, but the preposition must be placed after 'listening'. Suggestion: place 'to' after 'listening' in spoken clauses.
× Some kind of happy music even make me sadder because of the lyrics and the tune that they are using.
✓ Some kinds of happy music even make me sadder because of the lyrics and the tunes they use.
'Some kind' with plural meaning should be 'some kinds' or 'some kind of' followed by singular; here plural is intended so use 'kinds'. 'Make' agrees with plural 'kinds'. 'Tune' should be plural to match 'lyrics', and 'they are using' is wordy—use 'they use'. Suggestion: ensure noun number consistency and prefer simple present for general facts.
× Well I have taken some piano glasses when I was in primary school.
✓ Well, I took some piano classes when I was in primary school.
'Piano glasses' is a wrong word; the correct noun is 'piano classes'. Also the present perfect 'have taken' conflicts with the past time marker 'when I was'; use simple past 'took' for a completed action in the past. Suggestion: choose tense consistent with time expressions and correct vocabulary.
× Now that I am in college they do not really provide piano classes.
✓ Now that I am in college, they do not really provide piano classes.
Main issue is punctuation and clarity rather than article; adding a comma improves readability. The sentence is otherwise correct; no definite article required before 'college' in this context. Suggestion: add comma after introductory clause.
× So it it's been a long I haven't practices practiced.
✓ So it's been a long time; I haven't practiced.
Errors: extra 'it' and missing 'time' after 'a long'. 'Practices' is wrong form; after 'haven't' use past participle 'practiced'. Suggestion: use 'it's been a long time' and 'I haven't practiced' with past participle.
× Uh, I do listen to music.
✓ Uh, I do listen to music.
This sentence is grammatically correct after adding 'to' earlier; no article needed. Included here to confirm correctness. Suggestion: keep 'listen to music' for natural phrasing.
× When I wash dishes, when I clean, and even solving practical problems, I listen to music.
✓ When I wash dishes, when I clean, and even when I'm solving practical problems, I listen to music.
Parallel structure requires each item in the list to be grammatically similar. 'Even solving practical problems' lacks 'when' and a verb form; use 'when I'm solving' or 'when I solve'. Suggestion: maintain parallel 'when' + clause structure.
