- What are the benefits?
- NOTE: This sentence is grammatically correct. However, perhaps a better way to express the idea is: "What are these people actually trying to gain?"

"If so" can also be written "if you can do so." But we just say, "if so." If you can't, you would say, "if not."

- I think it will be cool if we can add music to our journal entries on lang-8 and the music will start playing after very few seconds of pre-loading when we read the entries.
- I think it would be cool if we could add music to our journal entries on lang-8 and the music would start playing after very a few seconds after of pre-loading, when we read the entries?
- It hasn't happened, it probably won't happen, so you must use "would" :)

- The music you add can be a song that your think can express what you want us to know or it can be your record of this journal entries.
- The music you add could be a song that your think can express what you want us to know or it can be your record of this journal entries.
- I changed "can," to "could," because this hasn't happened. Essentially what you are saying is, "If lang-8 let us put music on our entries, then music could be added."

- Entries with its own music that could make the entries more colorful and unique.
- Entries with their own music could make the entries more colorful and unique.
- 1. "Entries with their own music." I changed "its," to "their," because the subject was "entries," in the plural. The pronoun has to be a plural if the subject is. 2. "Entries with their own music could..." I took out the word, "that." You don't really need it, because if you took, "with their own music," out of the sentence, I would read, "Entries that could...," which doesn't make sense. 3. I have a question - what type of English are you learning? Because if you are learning Canadian or British English, then, "colorful," should be spelled with a "u." "Colourful." There are a few words that Americans spell differently than Canadians and English people.
