A small change I made that had a big impact on my daily life is doing 10 pull-ups every morning. I decided to make this change because an influencer I follow on Instagram advised me and his other followers to do this, saying it's the best way to change your life. I implemented this change immediately, and it has changed my life 180 degrees. It has several positive effects. First of all, I fixed my posture and started gaining muscle. Also, it keeps me healthy and gives me energy all day.

Task Response

The answer addresses the topic and covers the required points, but it lacks depth and specific details. The explanation of why the change was made is vague, and the implementation is described too briefly. The positive effects are mentioned but not elaborated with personal experiences or concrete examples. To improve, provide more specific reasons for the change, describe the implementation process in more detail, and include personal anecdotes or specific outcomes to make the answer more engaging and fully developed. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent and easy to follow, but there are some issues with fluency. The phrase 'as an influencer that I follow on Instagram he advises me and other his followers' is awkward and contains a repetition ('other his followers'). The answer could benefit from smoother transitions between ideas, such as using 'because' or 'as a result' more naturally. To improve, practice linking sentences with cohesive devices like 'firstly,' 'moreover,' or 'consequently.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and lacks precision. Phrases like 'changed my life 180 degrees' are idiomatic but overused and not entirely accurate (the correct idiom is '180-degree turn'). Words like 'fixed my posture' and 'gaining muscle' are appropriate but simple. To improve, incorporate more varied and precise vocabulary, such as 'improved my posture,' 'built muscle mass,' or 'boosted my energy levels.' Avoid clichés and aim for more descriptive language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors. '10 pull-ups every morning' should be 'doing 10 pull-ups every morning' for clarity. 'As an influencer that I follow on Instagram he advises me' is a run-on sentence; it should be 'An influencer I follow on Instagram advised me.' 'Other his followers' is incorrect; it should be 'his other followers.' The tense shifts from past ('decided') to present ('advises') inconsistently. To improve, practice using consistent tenses and correct sentence structures, such as 'I decided to make this change because an influencer I follow on Instagram advised me to do so.'
