音乐— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, fix awkward phrases and verb forms, and give one specific example. Use linking words to connect ideas (for example, “because,” “so,” “for instance”).

範例: I prefer happy music because life can be stressful, so upbeat songs help me relax and lift my mood. For instance, I often listen to pop songs while commuting, which makes me feel more energetic and positive.

建議: Organize the response with a clear conditional structure and correct grammar. Use linking words (e.g., “however,” “on the other hand”) and avoid repetition. Give one concise example and explain why it excites you (rhythm, beat, tempo).

範例: It depends: relaxing happy music soothes me, but upbeat pop or K-pop with a strong beat excites me. For example, the fast drum rhythm in “Gangnam Style” energizes me and makes me feel happy because it’s lively and rhythmic.

建議: Avoid filler words and speak in complete sentences. Begin with a direct answer, add one or two precise details about what you learned, and end with a concise personal comment. Correct capitalization and grammar (e.g., “I can’t sing well”).

範例: Yes, I took music classes in primary school. The teacher showed us basic notes and simple music theory, and we practiced singing in class. However, I can’t sing well and I never learned to play an instrument, so I don’t consider myself very musical.

建議: Provide a direct topic sentence and use correct sentence structure. Use linking words such as “if” and “however” correctly, and replace casual slang (“just chill”) with neutral expressions. Give one clear example of a focused task when you wouldn’t listen to music.

範例: It depends on the activity. If I’m doing relaxed tasks like reading, I usually play soft music to help me relax. However, when I need to concentrate intensely—for example, while studying for an exam—I don’t listen to music.

× I prefer happy music because the world already feels quite stressful and upbeat songs help me relax and leave my mood.

✓ I prefer happy music because the world already feels quite stressful and upbeat songs help me relax and lift my mood.

The phrase 'leave my mood' is incorrect; the correct phrasal verb is 'lift my mood' meaning to make one feel better. This is a preposition/verb choice issue. Use 'lift' with 'mood' to express improvement in feelings.

× For example, I often listen to pop or other kind of chats when I'm studying or commuting and they made me feel more energetic and positive.

✓ For example, I often listen to pop or other kinds of music when I'm studying or commuting and they make me feel more energetic and positive.

'Other kind of' should be 'other kinds of' to agree in number (plural) with 'pop' as one kind among many. 'Chats' is the wrong noun; 'music' fits the context. Also maintain present tense 'make' to match 'I often listen' (habitual action). These are quantifier and tense issues.

× It depends, when it is like some relaxing happy music it won't make me feel excited but for like some pop songs or some current music, some K pop with stronger strong a bit it will make me feel really excited.

✓ It depends. When it is relaxing, happy music won't make me feel excited, but some pop songs or current K-pop with a stronger beat will make me feel really excited.

Several problems: punctuation and sentence structure were unclear. Use present simple for general truths. 'Like' used as filler should be removed. 'Stronger strong a bit' is ungrammatical; 'stronger beat' expresses the intended idea. This fixes present tense usage and incorrect word choice.

× Like the Gangnam Style as drum beat is so exciting and usually make me so excited and happy.

✓ For example, the drum beat in Gangnam Style is so exciting and usually makes me very excited and happy.

'Like the Gangnam Style as drum beat' is ungrammatical. Use 'the drum beat in Gangnam Style' and 'makes' to agree with singular subject. Also replace 'so excited and happy' with 'very excited and happy' for natural collocation. This corrects article use and subject-verb agreement.

× I took music classes when I was in primary school.

✓ I took music classes when I was in primary school.

This sentence is already correct. Past tense 'took' matches the time reference 'when I was in primary school', so no change is necessary.

× Uh, the music teacher taught us about the basic notes and some basic music theory.

✓ Uh, the music teacher taught us about basic notes and some basic music theory.

‘The basic notes’ is acceptable but 'basic notes' without 'the' sounds more natural in this general teaching context. This is a minor article usage suggestion for naturalness.

× However, I Can't Sing well and also I didn't learn how to play any instruments, so I'm not that musical.

✓ However, I can't sing well and I didn't learn how to play any instruments, so I'm not that musical.

Capitalization of 'Can't Sing' is incorrect; pronoun and verb casing should be standard. Also remove the extra 'also' for clarity. This fixes pronoun/verb casing and improves sentence flow.

× It depends on which kind of things am I doing.

✓ It depends on what kind of things I am doing.

Word order 'am I doing' is incorrect in this statement (it would be used in a question). Use 'I am doing' for a declarative sentence and 'what kind of' is the natural collocation. This corrects pronoun and sentence structure.

× If I'm doing some relaxed activities like reading, I would usually like playing some music to help me to relax and do everything just chill.

✓ If I'm doing relaxing activities like reading, I usually like to play some music to help me relax and just chill.

Use 'relaxing activities' (adjective) not 'relaxed activities'. 'I would usually like playing' is awkward; use 'I usually like to play' or 'I usually play'. Remove extra 'to' before 'relax'. This corrects verb form and adjective use.

× However, if I just doing something I need to extremely focus, I won't play any music.

✓ However, if I'm doing something that requires extreme focus, I won't play any music.

'If I just doing' is missing 'am' and is ungrammatical; use 'I'm doing'. 'I need to extremely focus' is awkward: use 'requires extreme focus' or 'need to focus extremely' but the former is more natural. This corrects present tense verb form and word order.
