× I listen both type of music sad and happy uh but it depends on my mood.
✓ I listen to both types of music, sad and happy, but it depends on my mood.
Missing preposition and singular/plural error: 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by an object; 'type' should be plural 'types' because 'both' refers to two kinds. Add commas for clarity.
× When I feel so sad then I listen sad music, when I feel so much happy then I use to have listen happy music.
✓ When I feel sad, I listen to sad music; when I feel very happy, I listen to happy music.
Incorrect tense and expressions: 'use to have listen' is ungrammatical. Use simple present 'I listen' for habitual actions. 'So sad' and 'so much happy' are unnatural; use 'sad' and 'very happy'. Also add 'to' after 'listen'.
× And music is one of the uh element that helps me to motivate to do new something.
✓ And music is one of the elements that helps motivate me to try new things.
Article and noun number error: 'one of the element' should be 'one of the elements'. Word order and phrasing: 'helps me to motivate to do new something' is awkward; change to 'helps motivate me to try new things' and remove redundant 'to'.
× Yes, uh, happy music always motivate me and it feels me more comfortable, uh, when I do something alone.
✓ Yes, happy music always motivates me and makes me feel more comfortable when I do something alone.
Subject-verb agreement and incorrect verb use: 'music' is singular so verb should be 'motivates' (third person). 'it feels me more comfortable' is incorrect; use 'makes me feel more comfortable'.
× Then I used to use headphone to listen music and it helps me to do the job with very enthusiastly and it motivates me very well.
✓ Then I usually use headphones to listen to music, and it helps me do the job very enthusiastically and motivates me a lot.
Pronoun and article errors: 'headphone' should be plural 'headphones' or include an article. Tense/phrase 'used to' suggests a past habit; use 'usually' for habitual present. 'listen music' needs 'to'. 'Very enthusiastly' is misspelled and wrong form; use adverb 'enthusiastically'. 'motivates me very well' is awkward; 'motivates me a lot' is natural.
