Music— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be direct and concise: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then briefly explain why with specific reasons and avoid unclear words. Use correct grammar and limited sentences (max 5). For example, say you prefer happy music generally but listen to sad music when you feel down, and explain the reason (e.g., it helps you process emotions).

Ejemplo: I usually prefer happy music because it lifts my mood and energises me. However, when I feel sad or stressed, I sometimes choose sad songs because they help me reflect and feel understood.

Sugerencia: Improve grammar and cohesion: use correct noun–verb agreement and linking words to connect ideas. Be specific about what elements (tempo, bass, rhythm) affect you and give a short example of a reaction. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes. Upbeat songs with a fast tempo and strong bass usually lift my mood and make me want to dance. For example, when I hear energetic pop or dance music, I often start moving and feel more positive and motivated.

Sugerencia: Organise your answer with a clear timeline and concise details. Correct awkward phrases and avoid unnecessary repetition. State when you took the class, its length, what you learned, and one specific skill or piece of knowledge you gained.

Ejemplo: Yes. A few years ago in 11th grade I took a one‑month music class in my hometown because I had a keen interest in singing. During the course I learned basic vocal techniques and how to read simple musical notation, which helped me improve my pitch.

Sugerencia: Use specific verbs and clearer examples; correct awkward or incorrect words (e.g., 'blooming my house' is unclear). Explain briefly why music helps you (e.g., increases focus or enjoyment) and provide one or two typical activities you do with music.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often listen to music while doing household chores such as cleaning my room or washing dishes. Music makes these tasks more enjoyable and helps me stay motivated, so I can finish them faster.

× Well, I prefer happy music, but there are sometimes that and I prefer sad music too.

✓ Well, I prefer happy music, but sometimes I prefer sad music too.

The original sentence has an unnecessary phrase 'there are sometimes that' which is ungrammatical and causes sentence structure errors. Remove the extra words and place 'sometimes' before the verb phrase to form a correct adverb placement: 'sometimes I prefer sad music too.' This keeps the meaning and improves fluency.

× Especially I am feeling miserable.

✓ Especially when I feel miserable.

'I am feeling miserable' is grammatically acceptable but awkward with 'Especially' at the start. The intended meaning is a habitual or conditional situation, so use simple present 'I feel' and add 'when' to connect the clause: 'Especially when I feel miserable.' This matches general preference statements.

× I prefer to listen to sad music because Mazata.

✓ I prefer to listen to sad music because it helps me feel understood.

'Because Mazata' is unclear and not grammatical. Replace the fragment with a complete clause that explains the reason. Use 'because' followed by a clause. The correction gives a coherent reason; tailor the clause to the intended meaning (e.g., 'it helps me feel understood' or another valid reason).

× Yes, there are certain kinds of happy music, especially the upbeat songs having high bass.

✓ Yes, there are certain kinds of happy music, especially upbeat songs with strong bass.

'The upbeat songs' with 'the' is unnecessary here when speaking generally; use plural noun phrase 'upbeat songs.' 'Having high bass' is awkward — use 'with strong bass.' This improves noun phrase formation and idiomatic usage.

× These kind of music often uplift my mood and I often feel like it dancing whenever I listen to these kind of songs.

✓ These kinds of music often uplift my mood, and I often feel like dancing whenever I listen to these kinds of songs.

'These kind' should be plural 'these kinds' to match plural 'music' or better 'these types of music.' 'Uplift' should be 'uplift' works but ensure subject-verb agreement with plural. 'I often feel like it dancing' is incorrect; the correct structure is 'feel like dancing' (verb + -ing) without 'it.' Also change 'these kind of songs' to 'these kinds of songs.'

× Yes, it was a few years ago when I was in my 11th grade.

✓ Yes, it was a few years ago when I was in 11th grade.

'In my 11th grade' is non-idiomatic in English; say 'in 11th grade.' The past reference 'it was a few years ago' is fine. Keep simple past 'was' to indicate a past time.

× I was a key.

✓ I was a prefect.

'I was a key' is ungrammatical and unclear. If the student meant a leadership role at school, use an appropriate noun such as 'prefect' or 'class representative.' Choose the correct term to convey the intended role.

× I had a keen interest in music, so I had taken a music class of 1 month in my hometown.

✓ I had a keen interest in music, so I took a one-month music class in my hometown.

Use simple past 'took' rather than 'had taken' because the action is a completed past event closely connected to the past interest. 'A music class of 1 month' is awkward; use 'a one-month music class.'

× There I learned how to upgrade my skills and I learned all the basic course there.

✓ There I learned how to improve my skills and I learned all the basic elements of the course.

'Upgrade my skills' is informal; 'improve my skills' is more natural. 'I learned all the basic course' is ungrammatical; use 'the basic elements of the course' or 'the basics of the course.' Also remove the redundant 'there' at the end.

× Yes, there are certain things that feel very fascinating when I am listening music along with them, especially if I am blooming my house or cleaning up my room or cleaning up the utensils.

✓ Yes, there are certain activities that feel very enjoyable when I listen to music with them, especially if I am cleaning my house, tidying my room, or washing the utensils.

'Listening music' is incorrect; use 'listen to music.' 'Fascinating' is not the right collocation for activities; 'enjoyable' or 'more interesting' is better. 'Blooming my house' is incorrect — use 'cleaning my house.' Use parallel verb forms for the list and idiomatic phrases: 'tidying my room' and 'washing the utensils.'

× I prefer listening to music along with that so that I feel interested in doing my work.

✓ I prefer listening to music while I do those tasks so that I stay interested in my work.

'Along with that' is awkward; use 'while I do those tasks.' 'Feel interested in doing my work' is wordy; 'stay interested in my work' is more natural. Maintain the -ing form 'listening' correctly and match it with 'while' to indicate simultaneous actions.
