Music— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and use clearer linking words. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one specific reason or example. Avoid repetition (e.g., "something"). Vary vocabulary (use "cheerful" or "uplifting" for "happy").

Ejemplo: I prefer different kinds of music depending on my mood. For example, when I feel down I listen to sad songs because their lyrics make me feel understood; by contrast, I choose upbeat, uplifting tracks for celebrations because they boost my energy and help me enjoy the moment.

Sugerencia: Correct tense and fluency, and avoid vague phrases like "that happy hormone." Give a clear cause-and-effect with one linking word (e.g., "because"): explain how music affects mood specifically. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, upbeat music definitely makes me feel more excited because lively rhythms and positive lyrics increase my energy and motivation. For instance, when I listen to fast pop songs before an event, I feel more optimistic and eager about what's coming.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear topic sentence and one specific detail about how you learn (e.g., websites or apps). Correct phrasing: "self-taught" instead of "self thought." Use a linking word to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: No, I haven't taken formal music classes; I'm self-taught. I usually learn new songs and techniques by watching tutorial videos on YouTube and practising regularly with smartphone apps like a metronome and chord trainers.

Sugerencia: Remove hesitations and repetition, and give a clearer explanation of how you use music as a timer with one concise example. Use correct phrasing ("I set a song as a timer" and "about three minutes have already passed").

Ejemplo: Yes, I often listen to music while working or cooking. I sometimes use a single song as a three-minute timer — when the song ends, I know roughly three minutes have passed, which helps me manage short tasks.

× Well, it depends on my mood at that time.

✓ Well, it depends on my mood at that time.

No correction needed; sentence uses present simple correctly to describe a general pattern. Keep as is.

× I like sad music when I am down so that I feel like I have a companion.

✓ I like sad music when I am down because it makes me feel like I have a companion.

Original sentence used 'so that' awkwardly; this is not a tense error but a sentence structure/connector choice. Replace 'so that I feel like' with 'because it makes me feel like' to show cause and use present simple consistently.

× And I also like happy music when I am celebrating something or something great happened to me.

✓ I also like happy music when I am celebrating something or when something great has happened to me.

Mixes present progressive ('I am celebrating') with a simple past clause ('something great happened'). Use present perfect ('has happened') to connect past events to the present context, keeping tenses consistent.

× Definitely happy music made me feel more excited because.

✓ Definitely, happy music makes me feel more excited.

Original uses past simple 'made' which conflicts with general statement about music's effect; use present simple 'makes' for habitual/general effects. Also remove the sentence-ending 'because' which is incomplete.

× It adds more of that happy hormone into myself that made me look forward to what's coming next.

✓ It releases more of that happy hormone in me, which makes me look forward to what's coming next.

'Into myself' is unnatural; use 'in me'. 'That made me' mixes past with present—use 'which makes me' to express ongoing effect. Also 'adds more of that happy hormone' better as 'releases more of that happy hormone' but both are acceptable.

× No, I haven't taken any music classes so whenever I want to learn something I can with music I just browse the Internet and it's a self thought process.

✓ No, I haven't taken any music classes, so whenever I want to learn something about music I just browse the Internet; it's a self-taught process.

Use of 'haven't taken' is correct to indicate experience. Main problems: missing comma before 'so', awkward word order 'I can with music I just browse' — reorder to clarify intent. 'self thought' is incorrect; use adjective 'self-taught'. Keep present simple 'browse' for habitual action.

× Yeah, I do listen to music while doing other things.

✓ Yes, I do listen to music while doing other things.

'Yeah' is informal; 'Yes' is more appropriate for a test. Tense is correct (present simple for habitual action). No structural change needed.

× I I also set it set it as a timer.

✓ I also set it as a timer.

Sentence contains repeated words 'I I' and 'set it set it' — likely hesitation/repetition. Remove duplicate words to form a correct simple present statement describing habitual action.

× So whenever a music ends it means that umm around 3 minutes is al already passed.

✓ So whenever a song ends, it means that about three minutes have already passed.

Use 'song' instead of 'a music' (uncountable vs countable). Insert comma after the subordinate clause. Use 'about three minutes' for readability and 'have already passed' (present perfect) to indicate elapsed time up to now. Remove filler 'umm' and fix typo 'al' to 'already'.
