Music— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: The answer is direct and natural but very short. Expand slightly with one or two specific reasons and a linking phrase to make it more informative and coherent without exceeding 5 sentences. Use a topic sentence then a supporting detail.

例: I prefer happy music because it lifts my mood and helps me stay positive. For example, upbeat pop songs give me energy during my morning routine, so I often choose them when I need to feel motivated.

提案: Good length and content with specific situations, but correct small grammar errors and improve cohesion with linking words. Replace vague phrase “a bit energetic songs” and fix singular/plural and articles. Also tidy the final phrase for fluency.

例: Yes, happy music makes me feel more excited. Energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the day; for instance, I listen to upbeat tracks before work or exercise when I need a quick boost.

提案: Answer is clear but too brief. Provide a brief reason or additional detail to enrich the response, using a linking phrase. This will show ability to expand naturally while remaining concise.

例: No, I haven’t taken any music classes, because I focused on academic subjects at school; however, I learn songs informally by watching online tutorials.

提案: Idea is good and relevant, but correct grammar and combine ideas into one coherent answer with linking words. Be specific about what other activities you do and which genres you prefer for each activity.

例: Yes, I often listen to music while doing other things, especially when I exercise; I usually choose upbeat pop music for workouts and softer instrumental tracks when I’m studying.

× I find a bit energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the days, especially when I need a boost before work for exercise.

✓ I find a bit energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the day, especially when I need a boost before work or for exercise.

Errors include wrong noun number or article and incorrect conjunction use. 'Days' should be singular 'day' because the expression refers to starting the day in general. 'Before work for exercise' is unclear; use 'or for exercise' to show two separate reasons (before work, or for exercise). Also, the sentence contains slightly awkward phrasing but the main corrections follow rules on verb forms and prepositions. Suggestion: simplify to 'I find that slightly energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the day, especially when I need a boost before work or for exercise.'

× I listen to music while doing other thing.

✓ I listen to music while doing other things.

Countable noun 'thing' should be plural 'things' because 'other' implies more than one activity. This is a noun number issue handled by using the plural form after 'other'. Suggestion: use 'other things' or more specific activities like 'other activities'.

× I find a bit energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the days, especially when I need a boost before work for exercise.

✓ I find slightly energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the day, especially when I need a boost before work or for exercise.

The phrase 'a bit energetic songs' mixes a determiner 'a' with a plural noun 'songs' and an informal modifier. Remove 'a' and use 'slightly' as an adverb to modify 'energetic'. Also change 'days' to 'day'. Suggestion: 'I find slightly energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the day.'

× I find a bit energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the days, especially when I need a boost before work for exercise.

✓ I find that slightly energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the day, especially when I need a boost before work or for exercise.

The sentence is missing 'that' after 'I find' which makes the clause clearer and more natural in English. Including 'that' or rephrasing improves sentence structure. Suggestion: 'I find that slightly energetic songs lift my mood...'

× Yes, happy music makes me feel more excited. I find a bit energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the days, especially when I need a boost before work for exercise.

✓ Yes, happy music makes me feel more excited. I find that slightly energetic songs lift my mood and give me motivation to start the day, especially when I need a boost before work or for exercise.

Maintain consistent present simple tense. Use 'find that ... lift' (present simple) and correct noun forms and modifiers so tense and agreement are consistent. Suggestion: keep verbs in present simple when talking about general preferences and habits.

× I have not taken any music classes.

✓ I have not taken any music classes.

This sentence is correct. 'Any' is the appropriate quantifier with the plural countable noun 'music classes' in a negative present perfect sentence. No change needed.

× Especially when I exercise I listen to pop music.

✓ Especially when I exercise, I listen to pop music.

The sentence is correct in tense but needs a comma after the introductory adverbial clause 'Especially when I exercise' for clarity and natural rhythm. Suggestion: include the comma or rewrite as 'I especially listen to pop music when I exercise.'

× Do you listen to music while doing other things?

✓ Do you listen to music while doing other things?

This question is grammatically correct. 'Doing' correctly forms the present participle after 'while'. No correction necessary.
