Polished transcript:

Male Female

I started using social media during my university years. I created my first Facebook account in 2009. Later, when WhatsApp and Instagram became popular, I primarily used WhatsApp. Initially, I wasn't interested in Instagram, but eventually, I realized its potential as a platform. So, I created my Instagram account about 14 years ago.

So, ah, I create my account, um, on Instagram about 14 years ago.

Task Response

The student provides a clear and detailed answer to the question, outlining their initial use of Facebook and subsequent adoption of WhatsApp and Instagram. However, the timeline is slightly confusing, as the student mentions creating their Instagram account 14 years ago, which would be before their Facebook account. This inconsistency could be clarified for a higher score.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is generally fluent, with some hesitation and repetition, particularly in the initial part of the answer. The structure is clear, but the timeline could be presented more smoothly for better coherence.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a good range of vocabulary, including 'keen', 'potential', and 'platform'. However, the phrase 'came to the board' is slightly informal and could be replaced with a more formal expression like 'became popular' for a higher score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student demonstrates good grammatical accuracy, using a variety of tenses and structures. However, there are a few minor errors, such as 'create my account' instead of 'created my account' and 'it is good platform' instead of 'it is a good platform'. These could be corrected for a higher score.
