✓ To be honest, I prefer listening to happy music because it makes my mood better, and especially after a stressful day I want to listen to this music to cheer up and get rid of a lot of stress.
The main error is the incorrect use of the verb + -ing form after 'prefer'. 'Prefer' is followed by the gerund without 'to' (prefer listening) or by the infinitive with 'to' (prefer to listen). Also, the correct form is 'listen to music', not 'listen this'. 'Upbeat my mood' is incorrect; use 'cheer up' or 'cheer my mood'/'cheer me up'. 'Get rid of them a lot of things' is ungrammatical; correct to 'get rid of a lot of stress' or 'get rid of many things'. Suggestions: use 'prefer listening to', 'listen to this music', 'cheer up', and simplify the sentence into clear clauses with appropriate prepositions.
× Yes, upbeat or happy music definitely makes me feel more excited. Uh, for example when I was listening to a pop song with the fast temperature.

'Fast temperature' is an incorrect collocation; the correct noun for speed in music is 'tempo'. Also, adverb placement and article use: 'with the fast tempo' or 'with a fast tempo' — 'a fast tempo' is better here. Keep 'definitely' before the verb phrase is acceptable. Suggest replacing 'temperature' with 'tempo' and use 'a fast tempo'.
