Music— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and correct grammar; start with a clear topic sentence and use linking words to contrast choices. Use specific artist/song examples and correct verb forms. Limit to maximum 4–5 sentences.

Ejemplo: It depends on my mood. At night I often prefer sad songs — for example, I listen to John Grant because his slow melodies help me relax. In the morning I choose upbeat music like Drake to boost my energy and focus.

Sugerencia: Give a direct answer first, then provide one clear, specific example with correct tenses and fewer fillers. Mention the effect (emotion or action) and keep it to 2–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: Yes, happy music does make me feel more excited. For example, when I'm disappointed about exam results I put on Michael Jackson and dance along to his songs, which cheers me up and helps me forget my worries.

Sugerencia: Answer directly and use correct past/present tenses. Provide specific details about lessons (age, duration) and reasons for switching instruments. Avoid unclear or culturally awkward phrases.

Ejemplo: Yes. I took piano lessons as a child for about three years, but I found the finger work difficult. Now I am learning guitar because I enjoy its sound and it feels more natural for me to play contemporary songs.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear yes/no and describe specific activities and how music helps. Correct phrasing for habits (use 'I usually'/'I often') and give one concise example of how music affects your work.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often listen to music while studying. When I do homework I play Michael Jackson to keep my energy up, and when I write literature essays I prefer instrumental tracks because the melody helps me concentrate without distracting lyrics.

× Well, you know, it depends on my mood where right, right the moment that I want to listen to music, kind of like at night, I prefer to scan the Spotify code to listening to John G with a palette songs and you know, sadness.

✓ Well, you know, it depends on my mood; at the moment I want to listen to music, for example at night, I prefer to scan a Spotify code to listen to John G's melancholy songs.

The original sentence has run-on structure and awkward phrasing (Grammar Problem Type 26). 'Scan the Spotify code to listening' mixes infinitive and -ing forms; correct is 'scan ... to listen'. 'A palette songs' is incorrect noun phrase and should be 'melancholy songs' or 'a range of songs'; possessive for the artist is 'John G's'. Use of semicolon or commas clarifies clauses. Suggestion: break into shorter clauses, use correct verb forms after 'to', and use possessive for artist names.

× But in the morning, I prefer to listening to Drake with a high mood, energetic to boost my mood.

✓ But in the morning, I prefer to listen to Drake's upbeat, energetic music to boost my mood.

The original uses 'prefer to listening' which is incorrect: after 'prefer to' use the base verb (infinitive) not -ing (Grammar Problem Type 8). Also 'with a high mood, energetic' is awkward adjective order; use 'upbeat, energetic music' and possessive 'Drake's'. Suggestion: use 'prefer to listen to' and place adjectives before the noun.

× Well, of course, you know, when I feel disappointed in my exams, I'm just turn on the Michael Jackson album, you know, listening and dancing with him, turn on the, his YouTube, uh, videos are dancing, saying I'm just, uh, enjoying dancing with him and, you know, forget about my exams.

✓ Well, of course, when I feel disappointed about my exams, I just turn on a Michael Jackson album, listen and dance along to his YouTube videos, and forget about my exams.

The sentence mixes tenses and has incorrect verb forms: 'I'm just turn on' should be 'I just turn on' (present simple habit) (Grammar Problem Type 6). 'Listening and dancing with him' should be 'listen and dance along to him' or 'dance along to his videos'. 'Videos are dancing' is ungrammatical. Also use 'disappointed about' rather than 'in' for exams. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual actions, use parallel verb forms 'listen and dance', and correct prepositions.

× Well, definitely yes. As a child I'm used to learn piano, but it kind of hard to me because my finger is not, you know, very fluent in that melody of piano.

✓ Well, definitely yes. As a child I used to learn piano, but it was kind of hard for me because my fingers were not very agile at piano melodies.

'I'm used to learn' is incorrect; past habitual action uses 'used to' + base verb (Grammar Problem Type 5). Also tense consistency: 'it kind of hard to me' needs past 'it was kind of hard for me'. 'Finger is not very fluent' is incorrect; use plural 'fingers' and adjective 'agile' or 'swift' (Grammar Problem Type 13). Suggestion: use 'used to learn' -> 'used to learn' or better 'I used to take piano lessons', and correct 'for me' and pluralize 'fingers'.

× But right now I'm learning guitar 'cause it actually cool and you know, it's attractive for a male to become.

✓ But right now I'm learning guitar because it's actually cool and, you know, attractive for a man to play.

'Cause it actually cool' lacks the verb 'is' (Sentence structure error 26) and 'for a male to become' is unclear and awkward; use 'attractive for a man to play'. 'Because' should be written fully in formal speech. Also maintain present continuous 'I'm learning'. Suggestion: include 'it's' and choose 'man' and 'play' for clarity.

× Well, absolutely, yes, when I'm doing my homework and feeling, you know, bored, I'm used to turn on Michael Jackson on boon to listening and, you know, enjoy it.

✓ Well, absolutely. When I'm doing my homework and feeling bored, I usually turn on Michael Jackson to listen and enjoy his music.

'I'm used to turn on' is incorrect: after 'used to' meaning habit, use 'used to' + base verb for past habits or 'usually' for present habits; here present habit requires 'usually turn on' (Grammar Problem Type 8). 'On boon to listening' is meaningless; replace with 'to listen' or 'to listen to'. Suggestion: use 'usually turn on' or 'I turn on ... to listen' and simplify phrases.

× And also one when when I'm write a literature an essays, uh, I used to, you know, write with a melody of that songs.

✓ Also, when I write literature essays, I like to write with a melody from those songs.

The original repeats 'when' and uses wrong verb form 'I'm write' instead of 'I write' (Grammar Problem Type 16 and 6). 'I used to' suggests past habit which conflicts with present 'when I write' — use present simple for habitual action. 'A melody of that songs' has incorrect article and plural agreement; use 'a melody from those songs' (Grammar Problem Type 1 and 11). Suggestion: use present simple for regular activities, correct verb forms, and proper prepositions 'from' and demonstratives 'those'.
