× I would go out on my way to say that I'm prefer listening to happy music, shut up a bit music or pop music.
✓ I would say that I prefer listening to happy music, soft music or pop music.
The original sentence uses unnecessary phrase 'go out on my way to say' and mixes 'I'm prefer' which is incorrect (do not use auxiliary 'am' with 'prefer'). Also 'shut up a bit music' is incorrect word choice; likely intended 'soft music'. Use simple present 'I prefer' for habits or general preferences. Suggestion: remove redundant phrases and use correct adjective 'soft'. Grammar problem type ID:6
× This is because it allows me to relieve stress and pressure when I'm listening to these kind of music and find myself relaxed.
✓ This is because it allows me to relieve stress and pressure when I listen to this kind of music and I feel relaxed.
Use simple present 'I listen' for habitual actions instead of 'I'm listening'. 'These kind of music' is incorrect: 'this kind of music' or 'these kinds of music'. Also 'find myself relaxed' is awkward; use 'I feel relaxed'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and match singular/plural in 'this/these kind(s)'. Grammar problem type ID:1
× Definitely yes. I usually listen to happy music such as pop and rock. It helps me to unwind after a long day of studying and I also listen this music with my friends.
✓ Definitely yes. I usually listen to happy music such as pop and rock. It helps me unwind after a long day of studying, and I also listen to this music with my friends.
Use 'helps me unwind' (omit 'to' after 'help' is optional but common), and add preposition 'to' after 'listen' when followed by an object: 'listen to this music'. Also add a comma before 'and' for clarity. Suggestion: remember verb patterns and common collocations like 'listen to'. Grammar problem type ID:11
× Yes, I used to took a piano lesson when I was in grade four or five, but now I don't have a chance and time to go to any classes of music.
✓ Yes, I used to take piano lessons when I was in fourth or fifth grade, but now I don't have the chance or time to go to any music classes.
After 'used to' use base form 'take', not past 'took'. Use plural 'piano lessons' for recurring lessons. 'Grade four or five' is better as 'fourth or fifth grade'. Use 'the chance or time' or 'a chance or time' and 'music classes' is more natural. Suggestion: after 'used to' always use base verb; adjust noun forms and articles. Grammar problem type ID:5
× But if I have opportunities, I would go out on my way to say that I wanna try guitar.
✓ But if I have the opportunity, I would say that I want to try the guitar.
Use 'the opportunity' (singular) or 'opportunities' consistently; 'would say' is acceptable but context suggests 'I would like to try the guitar' or 'I want to try the guitar'. Avoid informal 'wanna' in formal speech. Include article 'the' before 'guitar' when speaking generally about learning the instrument. Suggestion: use more formal 'want to' or 'would like to' and correct articles. Grammar problem type ID:4
× Definitely yes, because I'm a person who can't live without music.
✓ Definitely yes, because I'm a person who can't live without music.
This sentence is correct in tense and structure; no change needed. It expresses a general truth using present simple in the subordinate clause and contraction 'can't' is acceptable. No grammar problem matching the list. Grammar problem type ID:6
× I spend a lot of times listening to music while I'm working or studying.
✓ I spend a lot of time listening to music while I'm working or studying.
Use 'a lot of time' (uncountable 'time'), not 'times'. The present continuous 'I'm working or studying' is fine for actions happening during those periods. Suggestion: use uncountable forms for 'time' and similar nouns. Grammar problem type ID:1
× I usually choose a pet music to push up my mood.
✓ I usually choose upbeat music to lift my mood.
'Pet music' is incorrect; likely intended 'pop music' or 'upbeat music'. 'Push up my mood' is non-native collocation; use 'lift my mood' or 'brighten my mood'. Suggestion: learn common collocations with 'mood' and choose appropriate adjectives like 'upbeat'. Grammar problem type ID:13
