✓ I would say that I prefer happy music because it helps me to refresh my mood and sometimes it helps me unwind after a busy day.
The phrase 'offers me to to refresh' is incorrect because 'offer' is not followed by 'to' plus a verb meaning 'help'. Use 'help' or 'allows' or simply 'helps me to refresh' for natural English. Remove the duplicated 'to'. Suggestion: use 'helps me (to) refresh my mood' or 'allows me to refresh my mood'.
× Personally, happy music completely make me feel more excited, especially when I am studying or cooking because it helps me to focus more and have a good mood.
✓ Personally, happy music completely makes me feel more excited, especially when I am studying or cooking because it helps me to focus more and puts me in a good mood.
The subject 'happy music' is singular, so the verb must be 'makes' not 'make' (subject-verb agreement). Also 'have a good mood' is unnatural; use 'puts me in a good mood' or 'improves my mood'. Keep tense consistent.
× When I was small, my mom took me to a basic music class and and I study and I studied piano and I play a bit Weird, weird.
✓ When I was small, my mom took me to a basic music class and I studied piano; I can play a little, though it's a bit rusty.
Multiple errors: 'and and' is duplication; mix of present 'study' and past 'studied' is inconsistent—use past 'studied' to match 'When I was small'. 'I play a bit Weird, weird' is ungrammatical and unclear; replace with 'I can play a little' and optionally add 'though it's a bit rusty' for clarity. Ensure consistent past tense for past events.
× I choose to listen to music in every activities and daily lives like cooking, studying or even chatting with my friends. I use happy music to improve my mood and also to UMM.
✓ I choose to listen to music in everyday activities and daily life, like cooking, studying or even chatting with my friends. I use happy music to improve my mood and to relax.
Use 'everyday activities' (adjective + noun) not 'every activities'. 'Daily lives' should be 'daily life' (uncountable) or 'everyday life'. Replace filler 'UMM' with 'to relax' or similar. Also ensure articles and noun forms are correct.
