Music— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is natural and relevant, with a clear topic sentence and supporting detail. To improve, shorten slightly to avoid redundancy, add one specific example or brief reason for each preference, and use a linking phrase to contrast the two preferences (e.g., "on the other hand").

예시: I usually prefer happy music because its upbeat tempo helps me concentrate when I'm studying. On the other hand, I sometimes choose sad music to relax and reflect after a stressful day, for example when I'm winding down in the evening.

제안: Good concise answer with a reason and example. To reach a higher score, add a linking word and a more specific detail about how the rhythm or lyrics affect you (e.g., tempo, bass, encouraging words), and avoid vague phrases like "mainly because."

예시: Yes. The upbeat tempo and catchy chorus in happy songs increase my heart rate and focus, so I often play lively pop tracks when I walk or study at home to stay motivated.

제안: Clear and honest answer with a reason and a future wish. Improve by using a linking word between past and hypothetical (e.g., "however"), and give a brief specific reason why the piano appeals to you (sound, versatility, repertoire) to add depth.

예시: No, I haven't taken formal music classes because I focused on sports and visual art in school. However, if I had the chance now, I'd learn piano because I love its warm tone and wide range, which suits both classical pieces and modern songs.

제안: Direct and specific answer with an example. Improve by correcting small grammar ("while commuting"), adding a linking phrase, and specifying what you mean by "upward lyrics" (e.g., uplifting lyrics or fast tempo) to be clearer.

예시: Yes, I usually listen to music while commuting or exercising. For example, upbeat pop songs with uplifting lyrics and a fast tempo help me keep a steady pace on the treadmill.

× Well, it depends on my mood.

✓ Well, it depends on my mood.

No change needed; sentence uses present simple correctly to state a general truth about preference.

× I prefer happy music most of the time when I'm studying or just going about my daily routine, and I prefer sad music occasionally when I want to relax or reflect on something.

✓ I prefer happy music most of the time when I'm studying or just going about my daily routine, and I prefer sad music occasionally when I want to relax or reflect on something.

No change needed; the verbs and tense usage are correct for habitual actions and present preferences.

× Yes, it is mainly because the rhythm and the lyrics boost my energy.

✓ Yes, it's mainly because the rhythm and the lyrics boost my energy.

Use of contraction 'it's' is optional; original sentence is grammatically correct in present simple describing a general cause. No grammatical error per provided list.

× For example, I usually play lively songs when I walk or study at home to stay motivated.

✓ For example, I usually play lively songs when I walk or study at home to stay motivated.

No change needed; 'play' with activities 'walk' and 'study' is correct and fits present habitual context.

× Actually, I haven't taken any formal music classes.

✓ Actually, I haven't taken any formal music classes.

Present perfect is correctly used to indicate experience up to now; no correction required.

× It is mainly because I was more interested in sports and art, so I missed the chance to learn an instrument.

✓ It's mainly because I was more interested in sports and art, so I missed the chance to learn an instrument.

Original sentence is grammatically correct. The mix of present ('It's mainly because') and past ('was', 'missed') is acceptable because the speaker explains a present reason based on past preference.

× If I had a chance, I would like to learn to play the piano because it looks so elegant.

✓ If I had the chance, I would like to learn to play the piano because it looks so elegant.

Changed 'a chance' to 'the chance' for natural collocation with the conditional 'If I had the chance'. The conditional form 'If I had...' plus 'I would like' is correct for expressing a hypothetical desire.

× Yes, I usually listen to music while commute or exercise.

✓ Yes, I usually listen to music while commuting or exercising.

'While' should be followed by a verb in -ing form when indicating simultaneous actions. Use 'commuting' and 'exercising' instead of base verbs 'commute' and 'exercise' to show ongoing actions.

× For example, pop music with upward lyrics makes me run faster on the treadmill.

✓ For example, pop music with uplifting lyrics makes me run faster on the treadmill.

'Upward lyrics' is not idiomatic; the adjective 'uplifting' correctly describes lyrics that raise mood or energy. This change improves naturalness and meaning.
