Well, there are many types of traditional music in my country that people can enjoy when they listen to it. To be honest, not many young people enjoy traditional music because it is similar to jazz and all types of jazz music. Most elderly people listen to traditional music. We have a traditional music genre in my country that is called 'car.' It doesn't mean the vehicle; it represents our tradition and culture. I don't listen to this music often, but during some holidays or festivals, we listen to it, and some young ladies dance to it.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides some information about traditional music in the student's country. However, the response lacks detail and depth. Consider expanding on the characteristics of the mentioned genre, 'car,' and providing more examples of traditional music. A more general approach, avoiding personal opinions and experiences, would improve the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but there are some noticeable hesitations and repetitions. The structure could be improved by using clearer topic sentences and transitions between ideas. For example, instead of starting with "Well, there are many types..." consider a more direct approach like "My country boasts a rich variety of traditional music." Also, the explanation of 'car' could be smoother. Practice speaking more fluently and connecting your ideas more logically.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision in places. The phrase "traditional music is like jazz" is imprecise. Try using more specific vocabulary to describe the music's characteristics (e.g., melodic, rhythmic, instrumental). The word 'car' requires more explanation and clarification. Expanding on the musical style and instruments would improve the lexical range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, such as incorrect article usage ("a all type of jazz music"), incorrect preposition usage ("listen it"), and subject-verb agreement issues. The sentence structure is sometimes awkward. Focus on improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences, to demonstrate greater grammatical control.
