Do you prefer sad or happy music?
Candidato
I definitely prefer happy music because it puts me in a good mood and gives me energy. Sad music is fine sometimes, especially when I feel a bit down or want to reflect on something. But most days either choose something a bit, you know? Cheerful songs just makes me want to smile or dance a little.

To be honest, I wasn't good at it, but it was quite fun and made my school life more interesting. OK.

× But most days either choose something a bit, you know?
✓ But most days I either choose something a bit, you know?
The sentence is missing the subject 'I' causing a subject-verb agreement/structure error (list item 27 and 26). According to the list, we handle subject-verb agreement (27). Add the subject 'I' to match the verb 'choose'. Also keep the auxiliary order 'I either choose' for natural word order.
× Cheerful songs just makes me want to smile or dance a little.
✓ Cheerful songs just make me want to smile or dance a little.
The subject 'Cheerful songs' is plural, so the verb must be plural: 'make' not 'makes'. This is a subject-verb agreement error (ID 27). Change 'makes' to 'make' to agree with the plural subject.
× You know, it just feel like a natural energy boost without leading coffee.
✓ You know, it just feels like a natural energy boost without needing coffee.
The verb 'feel' must agree with the singular subject 'it' and take third-person singular form 'feels' (ID 2 and 10). Also 'leading coffee' is incorrect preposition/word choice; the intended meaning is 'needing coffee'. Replace with 'needing coffee' to convey the idea of not requiring coffee.
× Yes, happy music can make me feel much more excited and motivated, especially when I am studying or doing chores around the house.
✓ Yes, happy music can make me feel much more excited and motivated, especially when I am studying or doing chores around the house.
