Music— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more specific and grammatically accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence stating preference, then briefly explain how mood affects choice. Use correct verb forms and phrasing (e.g., "It depends on my mood"). Keep it to 1–3 concise sentences and avoid redundancy.

예시: I don’t have a strict preference for sad or happy music; it depends on my mood. For example, I listen to sad songs when I want to reflect and calm down, but I choose upbeat tracks when I need energy.

제안: Give a clear, grammatically correct response and add one specific detail or example. Use linking words for coherence (e.g., "because", "for example"). Avoid repeating the same adjective multiple times.

예시: Yes, happy music usually makes me feel more energized because of the lively rhythm and cheerful lyrics. For example, upbeat pop songs lift my mood and help me feel motivated to exercise.

제안: Expand the single-word answer to a brief sentence and provide a short reason or additional detail to sound natural and informative. Use one supporting sentence at most.

예시: No, I haven’t taken formal music classes, but I taught myself to play a few songs on the guitar using online tutorials.

제안: Make the response more natural by correcting small grammar issues and adding a specific example of activities you do while listening. Use linking words like "for example" or "such as" to give coherence.

예시: Yes, I often listen to music while studying or cooking because it helps me concentrate and prevents boredom. For example, I play instrumental playlists when I study and upbeat songs when I clean.

× I prefer sad and happy music and it's defined to my mood.

✓ I prefer sad and happy music, and it depends on my mood.

The student used 'defined to' incorrectly. The correct collocation is 'depend on' when saying something is influenced by mood. Also add a comma before the conjunction for clarity. Suggestion: use 'depend on' for expressing influence and check collocations of verbs and prepositions.

× Yes, it's make me happy and more excited.

✓ Yes, it makes me happy and more excited.

The subject 'it' requires the verb form with third person singular -s: 'makes' not 'make'. Also 'it's' (it is) is not appropriate here; use the simple present 'it makes'. Suggestion: remember to add -s for he/she/it in present simple statements.

× Then it feels like I'm very happy, super happy.

✓ Then I feel very happy, super happy.

Using 'it feels like I'm' is grammatically acceptable but awkward here because the student is describing their own feeling; using 'I feel' is clearer and matches the simple present used elsewhere. Also 'then' with present simple is fine. Suggestion: use direct subject 'I' with present simple for personal feelings.

× Yes, it is.

✓ Yes, I do.

The examiner asked 'Do you listen to music while doing other things?' The short positive response to a yes/no question in present simple should use 'Yes, I do.' 'Yes, it is.' is incorrect because 'it' does not match the question and 'is' is wrong auxiliary. Suggestion: respond with correct pronoun and auxiliary for short answers: 'Yes, I do' or 'No, I don't.'

× When I have something to do, I always listen to music so that I'm not bored.

✓ When I have something to do, I always listen to music so that I am not bored.

Contraction 'I'm' is acceptable in speech, but for clarity and formality use full form 'I am'. Grammatically, sentence is correct in tense and structure. Suggestion: either form is correct; choose full form in formal responses.
