The celebrities who provide good information to the public help the younger generations benefit more. This is because celebrities are well-known individuals who have many followers on their social media platforms and a lot of fans in real life as well. If they are good people and provide valuable information and knowledge, then the younger generations, who are their great fans, will follow them. For example, once Ronaldo promoted Coke instead of Sprite, and at that time, Coke saw a higher level of purchases compared to Sprite, which is good news. It is real news that many celebrities should be dedicated to their work because they are role models for so many people. Therefore, celebrities should be morally accountable, and they should demonstrate good behavior to the public.

Task Response

The response addresses the core of the question by concluding that celebrities should be held accountable due to their role-model status. However, the development of the argument is somewhat circular, focusing heavily on the benefits of celebrities providing 'good information' rather than exploring the 'degree' of moral accountability requested. The example provided regarding a brand promotion (Ronaldo and Coke) is more related to commercial influence than moral accountability, which slightly deviates from the ethical focus of the question. To improve, try to discuss the extent of responsibility - for instance, whether they are responsible for their private lives or only their public actions - and ensure that examples directly support the concept of morality and ethics rather than just consumer behavior.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker struggles to maintain a coherent flow. The answer begins with a fragment ('The celebrities who provide...') rather than a direct response to the question. There is significant repetition of ideas and words (e.g., 'good information', 'good person', 'good news'). To improve, use more cohesive devices (e.g., 'Furthermore', 'Consequently', 'In contrast') and ensure you directly address the 'to what degree' aspect of the question by using qualifying language like 'to a large extent' or 'partially'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite basic and repetitive. Words like 'good', 'person', and 'information' are used multiple times instead of more precise academic terms such as 'positive influence', 'role models', 'valuable insights', or 'ethical responsibility'. You also used 'portions' when you likely meant 'people' or 'portions of the population'. Aim to use less common lexical items and collocations related to ethics and social influence.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical issues that impede clarity. The opening sentence is a dependent clause acting as a full sentence, which is a major error. There are issues with article usage ('the Ronaldo', 'the coke') and sentence structure (run-on sentences). To reach a higher band, you need to practice complex sentence structures (subordinate clauses, conditional sentences) and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct article usage.
