Part 1

Do you prefer sad or happy music?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, avoid filler words (e.g., “uh”), and combine short thoughts into one concise, coherent statement. Add one specific supporting detail using a linking word (e.g., “because” or “so”) to explain why your mood determines your choice. Keep your answer to no more than 3–4 sentences.

Example: I prefer different types of music depending on my mood. For example, if I’m feeling reflective I choose sad songs because their lyrics help me process my thoughts, but when I need to feel upbeat I pick happy music to boost my energy.

Does happy music make you feel more excited?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: Answer directly, then provide one or two specific reasons or a short example. Remove repeated words and check grammar (use gerunds or adjectives correctly). Use a linking word like “because” or “so” to connect cause and effect. Limit to 2–4 sentences for clarity and natural delivery.

Example: Yes, happy music definitely makes me feel more excited because upbeat rhythms and cheerful lyrics lift my mood. For instance, when I play lively songs in the morning I feel more energetic and ready to start the day.

Grammar

Verb + -ing form

× When I want to listen, uh, the music.

When I want to listen to music.

The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by an object. This is a preposition + verb pattern, so use 'listen to music'. The filler 'uh' can be omitted in written form.

Sentence structure errors

× The mood makes me decide whether I should go for sad or happy music.

My mood decides whether I should choose sad or happy music.

The original sentence is wordy and slightly awkward. 'The mood makes me decide' is a roundabout structure; use a simple subject 'my mood' with a verb 'decides'. 'Go for' is informal; 'choose' is clearer here.

Incorrect use of adverbs or adjectives

× Yes, happy music always gives, gives me thrilled and excitement and it makes me more positive, more energetic, and I look forward today whenever I start my day by listening to happy music.

Yes, happy music always gives me a thrill and excitement; it makes me more positive and energetic, and I look forward to the day whenever I start it by listening to happy music.

Multiple issues: 'gives me thrilled' is incorrect word form—use noun 'a thrill' or adjective 'thrilled' with 'feel'. Use 'look forward to the day' with the preposition 'to' plus object. Remove the repeated 'gives'. Use parallel structure for 'more positive and energetic'. Ensure tense and meaning match by saying 'start it' to refer to 'the day'.
