Music— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and correct some grammatical errors. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then give one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Avoid filler sounds like "mmm" and use correct verb forms and articles (e.g., "I try to listen to happy music").

예시: I prefer either sad or happy music depending on my mood. For example, when I’m commuting and feeling upbeat, I usually listen to upbeat pop songs to stay energized; however, when I’m upset or tired after work, I prefer slower, sad songs because they help me process my feelings.

제안: Answer directly, correct verb agreement and finish your example. Use one linking word to connect ideas (e.g., "because" or "for example") and give a specific example of a song or situation. Remove hesitations like "uh" and "umm".

예시: Yes, happy music definitely makes me feel more excited because the fast tempo and bright melodies increase my energy. For example, when I hear an energetic pop song like "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, I immediately feel more motivated to exercise or work.

× happy music keep my energy up.

✓ happy music keeps my energy up.

Subject-verb agreement with third-person singular: 'happy music' is treated as singular, so the verb needs the -s ending in present simple. Use 'keeps' instead of 'keep'. Suggestion: remember to add -s for he/she/it subjects in present simple.

× If I am commuting to my work and I am happy so I try to listen happy music.

✓ If I am commuting to work and I am happy, I try to listen to happy music.

Preposition errors: 'to my work' is acceptable but 'to work' is more natural; 'listen happy music' requires the preposition 'to' (listen to something). Also add a comma before the main clause and remove the unnecessary 'so'. Suggestion: use 'listen to' + noun and place commas to separate clauses.

× But if I am heartbroken or returning from work or my mood is not good so I prefer sad music.

✓ But if I am heartbroken, returning from work, or my mood is not good, I prefer sad music.

Conjunction and connector misuse: using 'so' after conditional 'if' is unnecessary and awkward. Use commas to separate items in the condition and then the main clause. Suggestion: omit 'so' and punctuate the conditional clause properly.

× And for example, if you listen the song.

✓ For example, if you listen to a song, ...

Incomplete sentence and missing preposition: 'listen the song' should be 'listen to a song'. The original ends abruptly and is a fragment. Suggestion: complete the thought (e.g., 'For example, if you listen to a song with an upbeat tempo, you may feel more energetic.') and use 'listen to' + object.

× the beats of cheerful music definitely uplift the mood.

✓ the beats of cheerful music definitely uplift my mood.

Missing appropriate object/pronoun: sentence is grammatical but sounds incomplete in context because speaker refers to their own feelings; adding 'my' clarifies. This involves choice of present participle usage and sentence completeness. Suggestion: specify the experiencer (my mood) to make the sentence natural.
