Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer is quite good and covers the main aspects of the question. However, it could be improved by providing more specific details about Mugham, such as its characteristics, instruments used, or its cultural significance. Consider expanding on the historical context and the role of Mugham in Azerbaijani society. Try to avoid repetitive statements and focus on providing richer information.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition (e.g., mentioning Azerbaijan and its music multiple times). Improving the flow by using more varied sentence structures would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. Using words like "prominent" instead of "mostly" and "perform" instead of "sing" would improve lexical range and precision. The phrase "Azerbaijan is a country with a vision of being a Mughal" is unclear and needs rephrasing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with a few minor errors. The sentence structure is sometimes simple. Using more complex grammatical structures, such as passive voice or relative clauses, would improve grammatical range and accuracy. For example, instead of 'In the last years Mughal has been very developed,' consider 'Mugham has undergone significant development in recent years'.
