No, certainly. I believe that due to technological improvements, we have observed different kinds of fraud and violence. Since people have lost their touch with each other and spend most of their time on social media, trust among individuals has decreased considerably. It seems that they are turning to lies, so they can't count on each other as much.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and presents a clear opinion. However, the response could benefit from more detailed explanation and examples to support the claims about fraud, violence, and decreased trust. Consider exploring the nuances of trust in different contexts and relationships.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition and slight hesitation ('so and you know'), but the overall flow is good. Minor improvements in sentence structure would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "fraud," "violence," and "considerably" show a good range. More precise vocabulary choices could elevate the response. For example, instead of 'lost their touch,' a phrase like 'become more isolated' might be more sophisticated.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence 'the trust among individuals have become decreased' is grammatically incorrect. The use of 'so' as a conjunction needs improvement. While the message is clear, more precise grammatical structures would improve the score. Consider using more complex sentence structures to demonstrate a wider range of grammatical accuracy.
