Do you prefer sad or happy music?
考生
I prefer listening to happy musics because upbeat and cheerful music make me really motivated. When I'm working out, the music beats relates to my mood and if I listen to sad music, I feel really emotional. But when I listen to happy music, I feel so motivated and cheerful. That's why I listen to cheerful music.

Yes, it does. Actually. I'm really easily to be influenced by some kind of music I listen. So when I listen to happy music, I feel really happy. And when I'm working out, I really love to listen to cheerful music so that I can boost my energy.

Do you listen to music while doing other things?
考生
Yes, but it it depends on what kind of work I'm doing. For example when I'm studying I don't listen to music that has lyrics because I can't focus on my work. But when I'm doing something but not studying I just listen to music with lyrics like K pop and J pop.

× I prefer listening to happy musics because upbeat and cheerful music make me really motivated.
✓ I prefer listening to happy music because upbeat and cheerful music makes me really motivating.
'Musics' is incorrect; 'music' is an uncountable noun (Grammar Problem Type ID 1 and 22). Also subject-verb agreement: 'upbeat and cheerful music' is treated as a singular uncountable noun, so the verb should be 'makes' not 'make' (Grammar Problem Type ID 27). Suggestion: use 'music' (uncountable) and match the verb to singular subject: 'music makes me feel really motivated.'
× When I'm working out, the music beats relates to my mood and if I listen to sad music, I feel really emotional.
✓ When I'm working out, the music's beat relates to my mood, and if I listen to sad music, I feel really emotional.
'beats relates' mixes plural and singular forms. Either use plural 'beats relate' or singular 'beat relates'. A clearer option is possessive 'the music's beat relates' (Grammar Problem Type ID 27). Also add comma before 'and' for clarity (Grammar Problem Type ID 26).
× But when I listen to happy music, I feel so motivated and cheerful.
✓ When I listen to happy music, I feel motivated and cheerful.
Starting with 'But' is conversationally acceptable but redundant here; removing it makes the sentence smoother (Grammar Problem Type ID 26). No core grammatical error beyond style.
× Yes, it does. Actually. I'm really easily to be influenced by some kind of music I listen.
✓ Yes, it does. Actually, I'm easily influenced by the kind of music I listen to.
'Actually.' fragment should be connected with comma for fluency (Grammar Problem Type ID 26). 'I'm really easily to be influenced' is ungrammatical: use 'I'm easily influenced' or 'I am really easily influenced' (Grammar Problem Type ID 13 and 6). Also 'some kind of music I listen' needs 'I listen to' to complete the verb-preposition construction (Grammar Problem Type ID 11).
× And when I'm working out, I really love to listen to cheerful music so that I can boost my energy.
✓ When I'm working out, I really love listening to cheerful music because it boosts my energy.
'Love to listen to' is acceptable but 'love listening to' is more natural (Grammar Problem Type ID 8). 'So that I can boost my energy' is wordy; 'because it boosts my energy' is clearer (Grammar Problem Type ID 26).
× Yes, since I was three years old, I've been taking violin lessons and I perform all my violin at concerts and sometimes I perform it at competition.
✓ Yes, since I was three years old I've been taking violin lessons, and I perform on the violin at concerts and sometimes at competitions.
'I've been taking' is correct for ongoing action (Grammar Problem Type ID 6). 'Perform all my violin' is incorrect; use 'perform on the violin' (preposition error, Grammar Problem Type ID 11). 'Competition' should be plural 'competitions' or with an article 'a competition' (Grammar Problem Type ID 1 and 22).
× And one day I really wanna achieve my goal to get gold medal in the competitions.
✓ One day I really want to achieve my goal of getting a gold medal in competitions.
Avoid informal 'wanna' — use 'want to' (Grammar Problem Type ID 4). Use 'goal of getting' for correct noun phrase and 'a gold medal' with article (Grammar Problem Type ID 17 and 22). 'In the competitions' is awkward; use 'in competitions' or 'in the competitions I enter' (Grammar Problem Type ID 26).
× My friend, always get gold or silver medal.
✓ My friend always gets gold or silver medals.
Subject-verb agreement: 'friend' third person singular requires 'gets' not 'get' (Grammar Problem Type ID 2 and 27). Use plural 'medals' or 'a gold or silver medal' with article (Grammar Problem Type ID 1 and 22). Remove unnecessary comma after 'friend' (Grammar Problem Type ID 26).
× Yes, but it it depends on what kind of work I'm doing.
✓ Yes, but it depends on what kind of work I'm doing.
Duplicate 'it it' is a typo; remove the extra 'it' (Grammar Problem Type ID 26). 'Depends' correctly agrees with subject 'it'.
× For example when I'm studying I don't listen to music that has lyrics because I can't focus on my work.
✓ For example, when I'm studying I don't listen to music with lyrics because I can't focus on my work.
'Music that has lyrics' is grammatically acceptable but 'music with lyrics' is more natural and concise (Grammar Problem Type ID 26). Add comma after 'For example' for clarity (Grammar Problem Type ID 26).
× But when I'm doing something but not studying I just listen to music with lyrics like K pop and J pop.
✓ When I'm doing something other than studying, I just listen to music with lyrics, like K-pop and J-pop.
Avoid starting with 'But' and using double 'but'; use 'other than' for contrast (Grammar Problem Type ID 16 and 26). Add comma before the final clause and hyphens in 'K-pop' and 'J-pop' for standard form (Grammar Problem Type ID 13).
