Music— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more fluent and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid filler words, and combine ideas into one coherent sentence. Expand slightly with a specific reason or brief example using a linking word.

例: I prefer happy music because it lifts my mood and helps me stay productive. For example, upbeat pop songs motivate me to focus when I’m working or cleaning.

提案: Improve grammar and fluency: use proper verb phrases and avoid sentence fragments. Use a linking word to connect reason and effect, and give a concrete example or situation.

例: Definitely. Whenever I hear happy music, it boosts my energy and improves my mood, so I feel more enthusiastic about whatever I’m doing, like exercising or studying.

提案: Answer directly and grammatically: say 'No, I haven't' or 'No, I haven’t taken any' and then briefly explain reasons with linking words. Use more natural phrasing for 'time and budget.'

例: No, I haven't taken any music classes because I don’t have enough time, and lessons are too expensive right now.

提案: Make the response more natural and specific: start with a clear topic sentence, use smoother phrasing for effects, and add a short detail about how it helps you. Avoid repetition of 'happy' and 'energy up.'

例: Yes. I often listen to Ariana Grande while doing housework because her upbeat songs lift my spirits and keep me motivated to finish chores quickly.

× I prefer happy music because it makes my mood, umm, happy and. Productive.

✓ I prefer happy music because it makes my mood happy and productive.

The sentence has awkward punctuation and incorrect splitting. 'Productive' is an adjective that should be paired with 'happy' in the same clause: 'happy and productive.' Remove the extra pause markers and join the adjectives. Also keep a single complete sentence for clarity.

× Definitely, whenever I hear happy music it makes my energy up and. Also my. Mood.

✓ Definitely. Whenever I hear happy music, it lifts my energy and my mood.

'Makes my energy up' is unnatural in English; use 'lifts my energy' or 'raises my energy.' The original also has incorrect punctuation splitting the sentence. Place the adverb 'definitely' as a standalone interjection or remove it; add a comma after the subordinate clause 'Whenever I hear happy music.' Combine 'energy' and 'mood' in one smooth clause.

× No, I'm not because I don't have time and budget.

✓ No, I haven't. I haven't taken any because I don't have the time or the budget.

The student's reply 'No, I'm not' is ungrammatical for answering 'Have you taken any music classes?' Use present perfect 'I haven't' or 'I haven't taken any.' Also use 'the time or the budget' (or 'enough time or budget') for clarity. Split into two clauses to explain reason.

× Yes, whenever I'm doing house chores I listen to Ariana Grande music and it makes my energy up and my mood happy.

✓ Yes. Whenever I'm doing house chores, I listen to Ariana Grande's music and it lifts my energy and improves my mood.

Use possessive 'Ariana Grande's music.' 'Makes my energy up' and 'my mood happy' are awkward; use verbs 'lifts' and 'improves' with direct objects 'energy' and 'mood.' Add commas for the subordinate clause and split sentences for clarity.
