Part 1

Do you prefer sad or happy music?

Score: 74.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and polished: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (e.g., “umm”), correct small grammar issues, and use linking words for coherence. Give one specific example of when you listen to happy music and how it helps. Aim for 3–4 sentences total.

Example: I usually prefer happy music because it lifts my mood and motivates me. For example, when I go for a morning walk I put on upbeat pop songs, which make me feel energized and help me plan my day. Because of that, I often feel more productive and positive.

Does happy music make you feel more excited?

Score: 79.0

Suggestion: Provide a direct topic sentence, then add one specific reason and an example using a linking word. Avoid repeating words (e.g., “very, very”) and keep to 2–3 supporting sentences. Mention a clear result of listening to happy music.

Example: Yes — happy music definitely makes me feel more excited because upbeat rhythms increase my energy. For instance, when I’m low I play lively dance tracks and, as a result, I feel more upbeat and ready to meet friends or start tasks.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× It depends on the situation but usually I prefer happy music because simply it makes me happy and motivated.

It depends on the situation, but usually I prefer happy music because it simply makes me happy and motivated.

The sentence has a word order issue and missing comma. 'Simply' should come before the verb phrase 'makes me' or immediately before the verb 'makes' to modify it correctly. Also add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'but' to separate the two independent clauses. Suggestion: place adverbs close to the verbs they modify and punctuate connecting clauses with a comma.

Verb + -ing form

× Especially when I umm walk in.

Especially when I walk in.

The filler 'umm' is informal and should be removed in written form. Grammatically the fragment lacks an object or continuation; as a dependent clause it needs to attach to the previous sentence or be completed (for example 'Especially when I walk in, I like to...'). Suggestion: remove fillers and either connect the clause to a main clause or complete it.

Verb + -ing form

× I love to listen happy music because it helps me being productive.

I love to listen to happy music because it helps me be productive.

Two issues: the verb phrase requires the preposition 'to' after 'listen' (listen to something), which is a preposition error (ID 11) but corrected here as part of the verb phrase. Also 'helps me being productive' is incorrect: after 'help' we use either the bare infinitive 'be' or the to-infinitive 'to be' (not the -ing form). Suggestion: use 'listen to' and 'helps me be productive' or 'helps me to be productive'.

Present tense issue

× Absolutely happy music makes me feel very, very excited.

Absolutely, happy music makes me feel very, very excited.

Needs a comma after an introductory adverb 'Absolutely' to improve clarity. The tense is otherwise correct (simple present for habitual truth). Suggestion: punctuate introductory adverbs with a comma.

Present tense issue

× So when I'm feeling down, I always try to listen to this type of music.

So when I'm feeling down, I always try to listen to this type of music.

This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present continuous 'I'm feeling' to describe a temporary state and 'always try to' for habitual action. No change needed.

Sentence structure errors

× I think listening to music is a social part of my daily life.

I think listening to music is a social part of my daily life.

The sentence is grammatical, but 'a social part of my daily life' is slightly awkward. A clearer phrasing is 'listening to music is an important social part of my daily life' or 'listening to music is a social activity in my daily life.' However, strictly speaking there is no grammatical error, so no mandatory correction is applied.
