× I like happy music. When I hear upbeat music, I feel motivated to commit challenging tasks.
✓ I like happy music. When I hear upbeat music, I feel motivated to tackle challenging tasks.
The verb phrase 'commit challenging tasks' is incorrect in English; 'commit' is used with crimes or to 'commit to' something. Use 'tackle' or 'undertake' for handling tasks. Also maintain present simple tense for habitual actions: 'I feel motivated to tackle challenging tasks.' Suggestion: replace 'commit' with 'tackle' or 'undertake' to convey attempting tasks.
× Also, hearing free SO songs makes me positive when I am sad.
✓ Also, hearing free songs makes me feel positive when I am sad.
'Makes me positive' is unnatural; use 'makes me feel positive.' 'SO' seems extraneous or typo; removed. Maintain present simple for general truth: 'hearing free songs makes me feel positive.' Suggestion: use 'feel positive' and remove unclear abbreviations.
× Yes, I when I hear happy music, I often enjoy moving my body to the music and I feel energized.
✓ Yes. When I hear happy music, I often enjoy moving my body to the music and I feel energized.
Sentence had an extra 'I' and improper punctuation. Start with 'Yes.' and then a complete clause. Keep present simple for habitual actions. Suggestion: remove the extra 'I' and separate 'Yes' from the clause with a period.
× For example, I usually listen to upbeat songs. When I have to concentrate on tasks though, I'm sleepy.
✓ For example, I usually listen to upbeat songs. However, when I have to concentrate on tasks, I get sleepy.
'I'm sleepy' is acceptable but 'get sleepy' better expresses becoming sleepy while concentrating. Also use 'However' or move 'though' for clarity. Maintain present simple: 'I get sleepy.' Suggestion: use 'get sleepy' and place contrast word at sentence start.
× Yes I have. I used to take classes when I was in a high school.
✓ Yes, I have. I used to take classes when I was in high school.
Article 'a' before 'high school' is unnecessary in American/British English when speaking generally. Keep past habitual 'used to take.' Suggestion: remove 'a' before 'high school.'
× I in this classes I listened to music and shared ideas with my classmates and learned to how to play the guitar or.
✓ In those classes, I listened to music, shared ideas with my classmates, and learned how to play the guitar.
Original has word order errors, unnecessary words ('to how'), incomplete ending ('or.'). Correct sequence: start with 'In those classes,' use parallel verbs 'listened,' 'shared,' 'learned,' and remove trailing 'or.' Suggestion: use parallel structure and correct 'learned how to play'.
× Sometimes I do, but I often I rather listening to music before I focus on tasks than it.
✓ Sometimes I do, but I often prefer listening to music before I focus on tasks rather than during them.
Problems: extra 'I' and incorrect verb form 'rather listening' should be 'prefer listening' or 'rather listen.' 'than it' is vague; use 'rather than during them.' Maintain present simple preference expression: 'I often prefer.' Suggestion: use 'prefer listening' or 'rather listen' and compare to 'during them.'
× Listening to music helps me focusing, but doing listening and working at the same time is not so.
✓ Listening to music helps me focus, but listening and working at the same time is not very effective.
After 'helps' use base verb 'focus' not '-ing' form. 'Doing listening' is awkward; use 'listening.' 'Not so' is vague; replace with 'not very effective.' Suggestion: say 'helps me focus' and 'listening and working at the same time is not very effective.'
