Part 1

Do you prefer sad or happy music?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Be more concise and use correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Correct verb forms (e.g., “help me focus,” “I prefer happy music because it makes me feel energetic”) and avoid redundant phrases. Keep responses under five sentences.

Example: I like both sad and happy music. For example, I sometimes prefer sad songs because they help me focus when I need to concentrate on work. However, I often choose happy music when I want to feel energetic and motivated.

Does happy music make you feel more excited?

Score: 62.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid repetition. Use a clear topic sentence and one supporting reason with a linking word. Fix grammar (e.g., “it creates energetic feelings,” “keeps me in a good mood”). Be specific about when and how it affects you.

Example: Yes, happy music definitely makes me more excited. For instance, when I study with upbeat songs, the lively rhythm boosts my energy and helps me stay positive and focused.

Grammar

Incorrect prepositions

× I have a really weird taste of music actually.

I have a really weird taste in music, actually.

Use the preposition 'in' with 'taste' to indicate preference. 'Taste of music' is incorrect; the correct collocation is 'taste in music.' Also add a comma before 'actually' for natural pacing.

Verb in the -ing form

× Sometimes I prefer sad music because it will help me given, help me keep focusing on my track of doing something.

Sometimes I prefer sad music because it helps me focus on what I'm doing.

Multiple issues: unnecessary future marker 'will' and wrong form 'help me given' (nonsense). Use simple present 'helps' to state a habitual effect. Use the verb 'focus' (base form) after 'help me' or use 'keep focusing' but better is 'focus on what I'm doing' for clarity. Also replace 'my track of doing something' with natural phrase 'what I'm doing.' This correction addresses tense and verb form problems.

Incorrect use of verb/adverb order

× But sometimes I just rather happy music more 'cause it made me feel energetic.

But sometimes I just prefer happy music because it makes me feel energetic.

'Rather' was misused; use 'prefer' to express preference. 'Made' (past) is inconsistent with general preference—use present 'makes.' Also remove redundant 'more' and expand 'cause' to 'because' for formality. This fixes verb tense and word choice.

Article errors

× Yeah, yeah, Especially when I'm studying, when I'm listening, when I'm listening to happy music, it will create the energetic feelings and it always keep me on a good mood and also keep me in the comfort zone.

Yes, especially when I'm studying and listening to happy music, it creates an energetic feeling, keeps me in a good mood, and makes me feel comfortable.

Several issues: 'Yeah, yeah' informal repetition; 'Especially' should not be capitalized mid-sentence. Remove the redundant 'when I'm listening' clause. Replace future 'will create' with present 'creates' for habitual actions. Use singular 'an energetic feeling' or 'energy,' and correct verb forms to agree with subject: 'keeps me' (present singular). Use 'feel comfortable' instead of 'in the comfort zone' for natural phrasing. This addresses article usage, verb tense, and subject-verb agreement.
