Music— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make the answer more natural and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms, and give one or two specific reasons or examples. Keep it concise (max 5 sentences) and use linking words to show contrast.

Ví dụ: I prefer listening to happy music because it motivates me and helps me unwind after a long day. For example, upbeat pop songs lift my mood when I’m studying or exercising. However, sometimes I choose sad music when I want to reflect quietly, for instance after watching an emotional film.

Gợi ý: Avoid repetition and keep coherence: combine related ideas into one or two sentences, use linking words (for example, however, and) and correct small grammar errors. Give a specific example of a cultural song to add detail.

Ví dụ: Yes, definitely — upbeat music usually energises me and also helps me relax at the same time. For instance, my country’s traditional celebratory songs make me both excited and calm when I hear them at family events.

Gợi ý: Improve grammar and fluency: state the main point clearly, then give specific details about what you learned and why you stopped. Use linking words like 'however' and correct phrasing (e.g., 'I don't have much time to practise').

Ví dụ: Yes, I took music classes at school and I especially enjoyed playing the flute and the trumpet. However, nowadays I don’t have much time to practise because of my busy schedule, so I haven’t kept up with those instruments.

Gợi ý: Make sentences more natural and varied: combine routines into one coherent answer, use correct verb patterns ('listen to'), and add a brief reason or one specific artist/genre example to enrich the response.

Ví dụ: Yes, I often listen to music while doing tasks — for example, I play my favourite songs when cooking to make it more enjoyable, and I usually listen to jazz or pop while taking a bath because it helps me relax.

× I like listening happy music because it keeps me feel motivated and helps me to relax my mind.

✓ I like listening to happy music because it keeps me feeling motivated and helps me relax my mind.

Missing preposition 'to' after 'listening' and incorrect verb forms: 'keeps me feel' should be 'keeps me feeling' (verb + -ing after 'keep' with object). Also 'helps me to relax' is acceptable but 'helps me relax' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'listening to' and use the -ing form after 'keeps' when describing continuous effect.

× However, there are some instances when I listen sad music.

✓ However, there are some instances when I listen to sad music.

After 'listen' the preposition 'to' is required when referring to music or sounds. This is a 'there be' sentence with a verb that needs correct preposition. Suggestion: use 'listen to' with music.

× Yes, definitely. Happy music makes me feel excited. Whenever I listen happy music, I feel very relaxed.

✓ Yes, definitely. Happy music makes me feel excited. Whenever I listen to happy music, I feel very relaxed.

Missing preposition 'to' after 'listen' when followed by a noun like 'happy music'. Use 'listen to' consistently. No tense change needed.

× There are some happy music related to my culture and I often listen them.

✓ There is some happy music related to my culture and I often listen to it.

Countability and preposition issues: 'music' is uncountable, so 'There is some happy music' not 'are'. Also 'listen' requires 'to' and its object should be 'it' (singular uncountable), not 'them'. Suggestion: 'There is some happy music related to my culture, and I often listen to it.'

× Yes, when I was in school we had some music classes there.

✓ Yes, when I was in school, we had some music classes.

Original sentence is grammatically acceptable but 'there' is unnecessary and awkward. Remove 'there'. Keep past tense 'had' which is correct for completed past.

× I particularly enjoyed playing flute and trumpet.

✓ I particularly enjoyed playing the flute and the trumpet.

When talking about playing musical instruments, use the definite article 'the' before instrument names. Suggestion: 'playing the flute and the trumpet.'

× But nowadays because of busy schedule, I don't get much time to continue my hobby as a playing.

✓ But nowadays, because of a busy schedule, I don't get much time to continue my hobby of playing.

Incorrect phrase 'as a playing'. Use 'hobby of playing' or 'continue playing' and include article 'a' before 'busy schedule'. Suggestion: 'continue my hobby of playing' or 'continue playing.'

× Yes, whenever I cook I often listen my favorite songs.

✓ Yes, whenever I cook, I often listen to my favorite songs.

Missing preposition 'to' after 'listen'. Also add a comma after the introductory clause for clarity. Suggestion: use 'listen to' with songs.

× Other than this, whenever I take a bath I often listen jazz or sometimes pop music.

✓ Other than that, whenever I take a bath I often listen to jazz or sometimes to pop music.

Use 'other than that' for reference. After 'listen' require 'to' before musical genres. You can omit the second 'to' optionally: 'listen to jazz or sometimes pop music.' Suggestion: 'listen to jazz or sometimes pop music.'
