× I think I prefer sports, sad and uh happy musics.
✓ I think I prefer sad and happy music.
The word 'music' is an uncountable noun and should not take a plural form 'musics'. Also 'sports' is irrelevant to the question about music; likely intended to omit it. Use 'music' (singular/uncountable) to refer generally to types or kinds of music. Suggestion: Use 'music' for general references and avoid adding 's' to uncountable nouns.
× I like sad music because uh umm sasso feel more emotional and helps me concentrate or relax when I study uh, while happy music is uh motivate and uh have more energies.
✓ I like sad music because it feels more emotional and helps me concentrate or relax when I study, while happy music is motivating and gives me more energy.
Errors: 'sasso' is unclear (likely meant 'it'); pronoun-verb agreement requires 'it feels'. 'Motivate' should be the adjective 'motivating' to describe music. 'Have more energies' is incorrect: 'energy' is an uncountable noun and the verb should be 'gives me'. Suggestion: Use 'it' for 'music', use adjective forms like 'motivating', and use 'energy' (uncountable) with verbs such as 'give'. Note: This correction addresses adjective/adverb use and related noun/verb form issues.
× I often turn up upbeat songs because they live my mood and recharge my battery.
✓ I often turn up upbeat songs because they lift my mood and recharge my battery.
'live' is wrong form; the correct verb is 'lift' meaning to raise. This is not a third-person singular subject-verb agreement problem for 'they' (they lift is correct), but the wrong lexical verb was used. Suggestion: Use 'lift my mood' for improving mood.
× Yes, I used to take a music classes when I was in primary school.
✓ Yes, I used to take music classes when I was in primary school.
'Music' before 'classes' is unnecessary as a separate article; we say 'music classes' (no 'a') or 'a music class' (singular). The original 'a music classes' combines singular article with plural noun, which is incorrect. Suggestion: Use 'music classes' (plural) or 'a music class' (singular) depending on meaning.
× I just, uh, learn basic, uh, musical knowledge and uh, simple songs which make me feel very relaxed and, uh, have me, uh, broaden my horizon.
✓ I just learned basic musical knowledge and simple songs which made me feel very relaxed and broadened my horizons.
Tense: the activity was in the past ('used to take'), so 'learn' should be past 'learned'. 'Have me broaden my horizon' is incorrect structure; use past 'broadened my horizons'. 'Horizon' is normally plural in the expression 'broaden my horizons'. Suggestion: Maintain consistent past tense and use the correct idiom 'broaden my horizons'.
× Yes, of course music is an important part of my life, I can live without it.
✓ Yes, of course music is an important part of my life; I cannot live without it.
The original is contradictory: 'I can live without it' conflicts with 'important part of my life'. Likely intended 'cannot live without it'. Also punctuation: two independent clauses need a semicolon or separate sentences. Suggestion: Use 'cannot' to express inability and separate clauses properly.
× I usually listen to Abyss Remix when I study or drive because uh, this help me concentrate and stay energetic.
✓ I usually listen to Abyss Remix when I study or drive because this helps me concentrate and stay energetic.
Subject 'this' (singular) requires third-person singular verb 'helps', not 'help'. Suggestion: Ensure subject-verb agreement: use 'helps' with singular subjects.
