The answer is relevant to the question and provides a reasonable example. However, it could benefit from a broader perspective, exploring different societal factors and cultural contexts beyond the example provided. Consider exploring the reasons behind this phenomenon and offering a more balanced view, acknowledging exceptions and alternative approaches.

Fluency & Coherence

The vocabulary is adequate, with words like 'contemporary era' and 'attractive types of toys'. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used. The phrase 'looking after what they are looking for' is imprecise and needs improvement. Consider using synonyms and more specific vocabulary to enhance the answer.
