The answer contains significant repetition ('one of the reasons is,' 'spending in screens') and hesitations ('um,' 'etc.'). The flow of ideas is disrupted by these pauses and repetitions. To improve, try to plan your answer structure in advance and practice speaking more smoothly without unnecessary pauses. Focus on connecting your ideas with appropriate linking words.

To enhance your lexical resource, try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to the topic of social media addiction. Learn synonyms and collocations to express your ideas more accurately.
