× I always spend my time to listen happy music because it helps me reduce my stress and boost my energy, so I really enjoy this music every time I do.
✓ I always spend my time listening to happy music because it helps me reduce my stress and boost my energy, so I really enjoy this music whenever I do.
Use of preposition 'to' after 'spend time' is incorrect; the correct structure is 'spend time + -ing'. Also 'listen happy music' needs the preposition 'to' ('listen to music'). 'Every time I do' is awkward; 'whenever I do' or 'whenever I have the chance' is clearer.
× Of course, when I hear happy music, I can boost my energy and track my battery, so I really love hear happy music.
✓ Of course, when I hear happy music, it boosts my energy and recharges my battery, so I really love to hear happy music.
'I can boost my energy' is grammatically okay but unnatural here; using 'it boosts my energy' places the adverbial phrase correctly. 'Track my battery' is incorrect collocation; 'recharge my battery' is appropriate. 'Love hear' is missing 'to' (verb pattern: love to hear). Adjustments improve naturalness and verb patterns.
× Every time when I have free time, I always turn up my speaker and listen.
✓ Every time I have free time, I always turn up my speaker and listen to music.
'Listen' usually requires the preposition 'to' when followed by an object. Also 'Every time when' is redundant; choose 'Every time' or 'When'. Added 'to music' to complete the verb object.
× I have attended a music class, my teacher taught me how to singing the song and umm give me about the knowledge of the song and the lyrics were so enjoyable with me.
✓ I attended a music class; my teacher taught me how to sing the song and gave me information about it, and the lyrics were very enjoyable.
Use simple past 'attended' to match the completed action (or 'I have attended' could be kept with different punctuation). 'Taught me how to singing' is incorrect: after 'how to' use base verb 'sing'. 'Give me about the knowledge' is ungrammatical; use 'gave me information about it' or 'taught me about the song'. 'Were so enjoyable with me' is awkward; use 'were very enjoyable.' Also corrected verb tense consistency and pronoun reference.
× I always turn on my speaker and listen happy music when I do housework for my mom or I walk or I shower.
✓ I always turn on my speaker and listen to happy music when I do housework for my mom, when I walk, or when I shower.
As before, 'listen' requires 'to' before its object. Also list items should be parallel: use 'when I walk' and 'when I shower' for consistent clause structure. Added commas for clarity.
× Yes, it's a good time for listening music and take my time.
✓ Yes, it's a good time to listen to music and relax.
'A good time for listening music' is awkward; use infinitive 'to listen to music' or 'for listening to music.' 'Take my time' can mean 'don't hurry' and sounds odd here; 'relax' or 'take some time for myself' fits better. Also 'listening' needs preposition 'to'.
