Music— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more grammatically accurate and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct word choices ("lyrics" not "words"), and tighten sentences to two or three that explain why you prefer sad music with a specific example. Use linking words (for example, because, so) to connect ideas and avoid filler (uh).

Ví dụ: I prefer sad music because I find the lyrics more meaningful and expressive. For example, when I listen to Adele, her words and tone convey her emotions so vividly that I can understand the artist’s experience and reflect on my own feelings.

Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence and combine short related points into one fluent response. Use precise vocabulary ("mood" not "mode") and a linking phrase to connect causes and effects (e.g., "because" or "which"). Remove minor hesitations.

Ví dụ: Yes. Happy music makes me feel energetic and uplifted because the upbeat rhythm and cheerful lyrics boost my mood, especially in the morning when I want to feel motivated.

Gợi ý: Answer directly then give brief supporting details. Correct word choice ("music classes" not "classics") and tense/grammar ("I haven't played any instruments" or "I haven't learned an instrument"). Avoid repeating negatives; instead, state preferences positively and provide a short reason or example. Limit to two or three sentences.

Ví dụ: No, I haven't taken any music classes and I haven't learned to play an instrument. I'm more interested in sports and reading, so I usually enjoy music as a listener rather than a performer.

Gợi ý: Use a clear topic sentence and correct grammar ("I always listen" not "I do always listening"). Combine activities concisely and explain the effect with a linking word ("so", "which"). Remove hesitations and repetitive words.

Ví dụ: Yes, I always listen to music while driving or when I'm in a café reading or doing tasks, because it makes me feel energetic and motivated for the rest of the day.

× For me, I always prefer sad music uh because they have a good words when I get to learn them.

✓ For me, I always prefer sad music because it has good words when I get to learn them.

The noun 'music' is uncountable and should be treated as singular ('it'), not 'they'. Also 'words' with 'good' is awkward; 'good lyrics' or 'good words' can work but require agreement: 'it has good words' or better 'it has good lyrics'. Use 'it' for uncountable nouns and match verb number accordingly. Suggestion: say 'it has good lyrics when I listen to it' for clarity.

× I do feel the artist's feelings and how he shown his experience through the song.

✓ I do feel the artist's feelings and how he has shown his experience through the song.

The sentence uses the past participle 'shown' but lacks the auxiliary 'has'. This is a pronoun/verb form issue where the subject 'he' requires the present perfect 'has shown' to indicate experience expressed in the song. Suggestion: use 'has shown' or 'shows' depending on intended meaning.

× Yeah, it is.

✓ Yes, it does.

The examiner asked 'Does happy music make you feel more excited?' A short affirmative answer to a 'does' question uses 'Yes, it does.' 'Yeah, it is.' is incorrect because 'is' doesn't match the verb 'make'. Use auxiliary 'does' to echo the question's verb.

× The beat and the music rhythm are cheerful.

✓ The beat and the rhythm of the music are cheerful.

Word order is slightly awkward: 'music rhythm' is nonstandard. Use 'rhythm of the music' or simply 'the rhythm' for natural phrasing. No agreement issue but reordering improves correctness and fluency.

× Lyrics change my mode, especially when I start my day.

✓ Lyrics change my mood, especially when I start my day.

The word 'mode' is incorrect in this context; the correct word is 'mood' meaning emotional state. Replace 'mode' with 'mood' to convey the intended meaning.

× No, I haven't taken any music classics because I'm not interested in music in general.

✓ No, I haven't taken any music classes because I'm not interested in music in general.

The student used 'classics' (meaning classical music) instead of 'classes' (courses). The verb 'haven't taken' is fine, but the noun is wrong. Replace with 'classes' to indicate lessons or courses.

× Uh, I didn't play any instruments before, like guitar or piano.

✓ I haven't played any instruments before, like guitar or piano.

Using 'didn't play' suggests a finished past action; since context relates to experience up to now, present perfect 'haven't played' is more appropriate. Use present perfect to describe life experience.

× I do prefer activities like sports, reading books, and I consider myself actually just, uh, someone who's interested to listen to music.

✓ I prefer activities like sports and reading books, and I consider myself simply someone who's interested in listening to music.

Several issues: 'do prefer' is unnecessary emphatic; 'actually just' is redundant; 'interested to listen to' is incorrect collocation — use 'interested in listening to'. Reorder for natural English and correct prepositional verb 'interested in'.

× I do always listening to music while I'm driving my car, heading through the cafe during such activities like reading or doing tasks.

✓ I always listen to music while I'm driving, when I'm in a café, or during activities like reading or doing tasks.

The phrase 'do always listening' mixes auxiliary 'do' with an -ing form; correct structure is 'always listen' or 'am always listening'. Also 'heading through the cafe' is incorrect; use 'when I'm in a café'. Use parallel structure for the list of situations.

× And music actually made me feel, uh, energetic and uh, motivated to, to be ready for the rest of the day.

✓ And music actually makes me feel energetic and motivated to be ready for the rest of the day.

The student used past tense 'made' but the intended meaning is a habitual or general effect, so present tense 'makes' is appropriate. Also remove filler repetitions and commas for fluency.
