× I prefer sad music because, uh, it's bring my view about me and.
✓ I prefer sad music because it reflects how I feel about myself.
The phrase 'it's bring' is incorrect; after 'it' + verb, use the correct verb form. The student likely wanted a present simple or verb phrase like 'reflects' or 'shows'. Use 'reflects' (third person singular) to agree with 'it'. Also 'my view about me' is awkward; use 'how I feel about myself'. Suggestion: Use simple present with correct third-person verb form and natural phrasing.
× Make me very happy and change.
✓ It makes me very happy and helps me change.
The original is a sentence fragment lacking a subject and incorrect verb forms. 'Make' should be 'makes' to agree with music as subject, and 'change' needs an auxiliary like 'helps me change' or 'causes a change'. Suggestion: Include the subject and correct verb agreement; combine clauses clearly.
× Yes, happy music make you make I feel more excited and is very comfortable and sometimes make me feel happier because it allows me to reset emotions.
✓ Yes, happy music makes you feel more excited, is very comforting, and sometimes makes me feel happier because it allows me to reset my emotions.
Multiple issues: 'make' should be 'makes' to agree with singular 'music' (third person singular). 'make you make I feel' is ungrammatical; correct is 'makes you feel'. 'is very comfortable' should be 'is very comforting' (adjective form for effect). 'sometimes make me' should be 'sometimes makes me'. Also add 'my' before 'emotions'. Suggestion: Ensure subject-verb agreement and use appropriate adjective/adverb forms.
× No, because I am. I don't, I am not good at music. I very I like music, but I don't have taken any music class.
✓ No, because I'm not; I'm not good at music. I really like music, but I haven't taken any music classes.
'I don't have taken' is wrong; use present perfect 'haven't taken' to show experience up to now. 'I very I like' is word order and redundancy error — correct to 'I really like'. Also plural 'music class' -> 'music classes' or 'a music class' depending; 'any music classes' fits negative context. Suggestion: Use present perfect for experiences and correct adverb placement ('really like').
× Yes, I always listen to music while doing other things such as umm, study, uh, do housework and so on.
✓ Yes, I always listen to music while doing other things such as studying, doing housework, and so on.
After 'such as' and when listing activities, use the -ing form (gerund) for parallel structure: 'studying' and 'doing housework'. Original mixes base form 'study' with gerund 'do'. Suggestion: Use consistent gerunds for parallel activities.
