× Well, sad music are not necessarily bad, but happy music always make me feel excited, uplifted and joyful compared to the sad music.

✓ Well, sad music is not necessarily bad, but happy music always makes me feel excited, uplifted and joyful compared to sad music.

The noun 'music' is an uncountable singular noun and must be used with singular verbs. Use 'is' not 'are', and 'makes' not 'make'. Also drop the definite article before 'sad music' for general reference. Suggestion: treat 'music' as uncountable (singular) and match the verb accordingly.

× It's Happy meal.

✓ It's a Happy meal.

This sentence likely intends to use an article before the noun phrase. With third person singular subject 'It', the verb 'is' is correct, but the noun phrase needs an article 'a' to be grammatically complete. Suggestion: include appropriate articles before singular countable nouns.

× They just make my mind fly away.

✓ They just make my mind fly away.

This sentence is acceptable if 'they' refers to 'happy music' (plural concept); however, since 'music' is uncountable, refer back using 'it' or rephrase: 'It just makes my mind fly away.' If keeping 'they', ensure antecedent is clearly plural (e.g. 'those songs'). Suggestion: use 'it' and 'makes' for 'music' or 'they' and 'make' for 'songs'.

× Yes, happy music always make me feel more excited without exceptions.

✓ Yes, happy music always makes me feel more excited without exception.

'Music' is uncountable singular and requires 'makes' not 'make'. Also, the standard phrase is 'without exception' (singular). Suggestion: match singular subject with singular verb and use idiomatic phrase 'without exception'.

× I like to listen to the sounds of Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Sierra.

✓ I like to listen to songs by Mariah Carey, Rihanna, and Sia.

'Sounds of' is awkward; 'songs by' is idiomatic. Also the artist name 'Sia' was misspelled as 'Sierra'. Suggestion: use 'songs by' and correct artist name spelling.

× Those kind of pop artist wasn't happy and optimistic overtime.

✓ Those kinds of pop artists weren't happy and optimistic over time.

'Those' requires plural 'kinds' and 'artists'. Use plural verb 'weren't' to agree. 'Over time' is the correct phrase rather than 'overtime' (which means extra pay). Suggestion: make nouns and verbs plural to agree and use 'over time'.

× I just can't stop being excited while I listening to Mariah Carey's Dream Lover.

✓ I just can't stop feeling excited while I listen to Mariah Carey's 'Dreamlover.'

After 'can't stop' use verb-ing correctly: 'can't stop feeling'. Also 'while I listening' lacks auxiliary verb; use 'while I listen'. Song title formatting aside, use correct verb forms. Suggestion: use 'can't stop feeling' and 'I listen'.

× I have never taken any music classes throughout my lifetime and I never pick up any instruments related to music ever since my childhood because my parents think that my students like the languages, especially English, so they they didn't put me to learn musical instruments at all.

✓ I have never taken any music classes in my life and I never picked up any musical instruments since my childhood because my parents thought that I preferred languages, especially English, so they didn't put me into music lessons at all.

Multiple tense and word choice errors: 'throughout my lifetime' is better as 'in my life'; 'never pick up' should be past 'never picked up' when referring since childhood; 'ever since my childhood' pairs with present perfect but context needs past 'since my childhood' with past actions; 'my students' is incorrect pronoun, should be 'I' or 'I preferred'; 'they they' duplicate; 'put me to learn' is ungrammatical—use 'put me into music lessons' or 'enroll me in music lessons'. Suggestion: simplify and use consistent past tense for childhood decisions and correct pronouns.

× because my parents think that my students like the languages, especially English, so they they didn't put me to learn musical instruments at all.

✓ because my parents thought that I liked languages, especially English, so they didn't enroll me in music lessons at all.

The pronoun 'my students' is wrong; the speaker should use 'I'. Also verb tense should be past 'thought' to match 'didn't enroll'. Duplicate 'they' removed and 'enroll me in music lessons' is idiomatic. Suggestion: use correct subject pronoun and appropriate verb 'enroll'.

× Yes, I love to listen to music as long as I'm not extremely busy.

✓ Yes, I love to listen to music as long as I'm not extremely busy.

This sentence is grammatically correct. No change needed. Explanation: Present simple 'love' and present continuous 'I'm' are used appropriately to describe general preference and current condition.

× I like to listen to music while I'm doing the driving or studying as long as the music doesn't distract me too much.

✓ I like to listen to music while I'm driving or studying as long as the music doesn't distract me too much.

'Doing the driving' is wordy and unidiomatic; use 'driving'. The gerund 'studying' after 'while' is fine. Suggestion: use concise verb forms 'while I'm driving'.

× Listening to music while doing other things make me feel better.

✓ Listening to music while doing other things makes me feel better.

The gerund phrase 'Listening to music while doing other things' is a singular subject and requires singular verb 'makes' rather than 'make'. Suggestion: match verb to singular subject.
