Music— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and direct: start with a clear topic sentence stating your preference, then give one or two specific reasons with brief supporting details. Avoid vague phrases (e.g. "all or any kind") and redundancy ("also I enjoy them"). Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: I prefer soft rock and classical music because they are soothing and help me relax after a busy day. For example, I listen to a soft piano piece before bed to unwind, and slow guitar-based soft rock during study sessions because it keeps me calm without being distracting.

Sugerencia: Clarify the relationship between happy music and your emotions: answer directly, then explain with a clear reason and a specific example. Fix grammar ("they are excited" is incorrect) and avoid contradictory statements (excited vs calm).

Ejemplo: Yes. Happy music often makes me feel more energetic and uplifted because of its upbeat tempo and cheerful lyrics. For instance, when I travel by train I play lively pop songs to boost my mood and stay motivated during long journeys.

Sugerencia: Give a direct, grammatically correct answer and add a concise reason or brief detail. Avoid repeating the same idea and correct phrasing (e.g. "I'm not interested in learning music" or "I wasn't sure about it"). If applicable, mention any informal music experience.

Ejemplo: No, I haven't taken any formal music classes because I wasn't sure I would stick with them. Instead, I taught myself basic guitar chords online and occasionally sing with friends for fun.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence and then provide one or two specific examples of activities you do while listening. Keep supporting details concise and use linking words like "for example". Avoid overgeneralising ("everybody").

Ejemplo: Yes, I often listen to music while working and exercising because it helps me concentrate and stay motivated. For example, I play instrumental playlists when studying to avoid distractions, and upbeat tracks when jogging to keep my energy up.

× I like to listen all or any kind of music that is sweet and soothing to my ears.

✓ I like to listen to all kinds of music that are sweet and soothing to my ears.

Missing preposition 'to' after 'listen' and incorrect use of 'all or any kind of music'. Use 'all kinds of music' for plural. Also 'music' as a noncount noun is fine but when referring to varieties use 'kinds'; change 'that is' to 'that are' to agree with 'kinds'. Suggestion: Always use 'listen to' and match verb forms to the noun number.

× But if you are asking to be precise, I would say that I like soft rock and classical a bit more than others as they usually help me set a preferred mood for relaxing.

✓ But if you are asking me to be precise, I would say that I like soft rock and classical a bit more than other genres, as they usually help me set a preferred mood for relaxing.

'Asking to be precise' is missing the indirect object 'me' (ask someone to do something). 'Others' is vague; use 'other genres' to refer to types of music. Commas improve clarity. Suggestion: Include the person being asked and specify the comparison group.

× Also I enjoy them.

✓ I also enjoy them.

Word order: 'also' usually comes after subject or before main verb in simple sentences. 'Also I enjoy them' is understandable but 'I also enjoy them' is more natural. Suggestion: Place 'also' after the subject for clarity.

× Yes, I do like happy music as they are excited to listen In my free time or when I am traveling, I listen a lot of happy music to make myself calm and relaxing.

✓ Yes, I do like happy music because it makes me feel excited. In my free time or when I am traveling, I listen to a lot of happy music to calm and relax myself.

'Happy music' is a singular/noncount concept and should use 'it', not 'they'. 'Are excited to listen' is incorrect; music cannot be excited; the listener is. Also missing preposition 'to' after 'listen' and awkward 'to make myself calm and relaxing' — use 'to calm and relax myself' or 'to help me relax'. Suggestion: Use 'it' for music as a general category, use 'listen to', and use appropriate verbs for feelings (music makes me feel excited).

× No, I didn't take any music classes although.

✓ No, I didn't take any music classes.

The sentence ends with 'although' which requires a clause to contrast (e.g., 'although I wanted to'). Removing 'although' fixes the fragment. The past tense 'didn't take' is correct for past action. Suggestion: Either remove 'although' or complete the contrast clause (for example: 'although I wanted to').

× I'm not interested to learning music.

✓ I'm not interested in learning music.

Wrong preposition: 'interested in' is the correct collocation. Also 'to learning' mixes infinitive and gerund incorrectly. Use 'interested in' + gerund. Suggestion: Use 'interested in' followed by a gerund: 'interested in learning'.

× I never joined it because I wasn't very sure about it.

✓ I never joined because I wasn't very sure about it.

'Joined it' is awkward when referring to classes; 'joined' can be used alone or 'joined them' if plural. Removing 'it' makes sentence natural. Past tense usage is correct. Suggestion: Omit unnecessary pronoun or specify: 'I never joined the classes'.

× Yes I do. I think everybody loves listening to music and they are doing other things.

✓ Yes, I do. I think everybody loves listening to music while doing other things.

'Everybody' is singular and should be followed by singular agreement; using 'they are doing other things' is awkward here. Better to use a subordinate clause 'while doing other things'. Suggestion: Use 'while' to show two simultaneous actions and avoid unnecessary plural pronoun after 'everybody'.

× For me it is a powerful tool for self-expression and it can calm a person down or takes away a person's anxiety.

✓ For me, it is a powerful tool for self-expression, and it can calm a person down or take away a person's anxiety.

Parallel structure error: 'can calm' pairs with 'take', not 'takes'. Use base verb after modal 'can'. Also add commas for clarity. Suggestion: Ensure verbs after a modal are in base form and maintain parallel structure.

× Also, music has the power and capacity to bring people together and provide comfort.

✓ Also, music has the power to bring people together and provide comfort.

'Power and capacity' is redundant; use 'power' alone. Grammatically the sentence is correct but can be more concise. Suggestion: Prefer concise expressions and avoid redundancy.
