Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and attempts to compare socialising in the past and present. However, the comparison lacks depth and specific examples. Consider providing more detailed examples of how technology has changed social interaction and exploring the potential drawbacks of increased online socialising to create a more balanced and nuanced response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. Minor repetition ("So, yeah") and a slight hesitation ("probably") detract from perfect fluency. Consider using stronger linking words to improve the flow between ideas, such as 'however,' 'moreover,' or 'in contrast'.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The phrase "discoveries in technology" is slightly less precise than it could be; consider alternatives like "technological advancements" or "advances in communication technology." More sophisticated vocabulary would elevate the response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors ("socialization has changed over the time" should be "socialization has changed over time"). While the range of grammatical structures is sufficient, using more complex sentence structures would demonstrate a higher level of grammatical proficiency.
