Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and touches upon the impact of technology on communication. However, it could benefit from a broader perspective, exploring various technological advancements and their influence on communication methods beyond just phones and social media. Consider discussing the evolution of communication from letters to emails, instant messaging, and video conferencing, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each. A more detailed analysis of the effects of technology on communication patterns would enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The ideas flow logically. Minor repetition ('people communicate') could be avoided for improved fluency. Adding a concluding sentence summarizing the overall impact of technology on communication would enhance the response.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and sophisticated. Words like 'significant progress' are good, but more nuanced vocabulary related to communication methods (e.g., asynchronous, synchronous, digital platforms) would elevate the response. The phrase 'a lot of progress' is slightly informal.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with only minor issues. The sentence 'They are communicating via text and it has become a trend right now' could be improved by combining the two clauses more smoothly (e.g., 'Texting has become a prevalent trend'). More complex grammatical structures would improve the score.
