I decided to stop using Facebook and TikTok last year. It was really disturbing to use such apps because they were time-consuming and also killing my creativity. I encountered Facebook in 2017 through my friend, and TikTok was introduced to me by my colleague after two years of Covid. It was really good to use at first, but after spending more time on it, I realized that I was just wasting my time and not doing anything productive. I was restricted by my parents due to the overuse of such apps. Also, I heard somewhere that TikTok is extracting data from your device and providing it to the parent company, which I didn't like because it compromises a person's privacy. There might be photos, videos, or any data that is private and cannot be shown to others, but taking such data is not a good thing. I was so happy to stop using these apps. I really wanted to enjoy my own life by spending time with my friends as well as doing some creative work. Ever since I stopped using those apps, I am now utilizing my time more creatively, and I feel fresher and more active.

Try using synonyms for the above words

Pronunciation

7
Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

8
This is a good response that covers the topic well. Consider adding more specific examples of how the apps impacted your creativity or how you now utilize your time more creatively. Elaborating on these points would strengthen the response further.

Fluency & Coherence

8
The answer is well-structured and coherent, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. The speaker's ideas flow smoothly, and there is only minimal repetition or self-correction. Minor improvements could be made by using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to enhance the flow even further. For example, instead of simply stating 'It was really good to use at first, but...', a more sophisticated transition could be used, such as 'Initially, I found the apps enjoyable, however...'

Lexical Resource

6.5
The speaker uses a range of vocabulary appropriately, although some words could be more precise. For example, instead of 'killing my creativity,' a more nuanced phrase like 'hampering my creative process' or 'stunting my creative growth' could be used. The vocabulary is generally accurate and effective, but using more sophisticated synonyms would enhance the response. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

7
The grammar is mostly accurate, with only a few minor errors. The speaker uses a range of grammatical structures, although some sentences could be more complex and varied. For example, instead of 'It was really disturbing to use such app,' the speaker could say 'I found the use of such apps to be quite disturbing.' Minor improvements in grammatical precision would elevate the response.
