Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides relevant points about how social media impacts friendships. To improve, consider elaborating on the potential negative impacts or nuances of these changes. Providing specific examples or discussing different types of friendships could also enhance the depth of the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and repetitions ('I think I think') that affect the flow. Using discourse markers more naturally would improve coherence. For example, instead of saying 'So therefore, so in conclusion,' try a simpler transition like 'Therefore,' or 'In conclusion,'. Also, avoid starting consecutive clauses with 'so'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. The phrase 'officialize their friendships' is slightly awkward; consider alternatives like 'validate' or 'confirm' their friendships. Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to social interaction and relationships.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. For example, 'this friendship could also be maintained easier' should be 'This friendship can also be maintained more easily'. Pay attention to comparative forms of adverbs. Overall, the grammatical range is good, but accuracy can be improved with careful attention to detail.
