Well, currently I don't participate in any kind of musical instrument class. But in the past, I attended guitar class for about three years. After that, I gave it up because of my university and other tasks. For example, I started some photography courses and other kinds of activities. But now, sometimes I play my own guitar at home.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is very good. Aim to refine subtleties and intonation to further improve.

Task Response

7
The response directly addresses the question and provides relevant information about past and present musical instrument experiences. To improve, consider elaborating on the types of music played or the personal satisfaction derived from playing the guitar. More detail on the reasons for stopping guitar lessons would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

6
The answer is coherent and understandable, but there are noticeable hesitations and filler words like "um" and "uh." Smoother delivery and reduced use of fillers would improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary used is appropriate and accurate, showing a good range of words to describe the situation. More precise language could be used in places; for example, instead of "other kinds of activities," specifying the activities would enhance the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
There are some grammatical inaccuracies, such as "have attend" and "have gave." While the overall message is clear, focusing on consistent verb tense and subject-verb agreement would improve grammatical accuracy.
