Task Response

The student provides a clear and relevant answer to the question. They mention being socially active and using social media to connect with people. However, the answer could be more specific about the types of social activities they engage in. For example, they could mention attending events, going out with friends, or participating in hobbies.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is somewhat hesitant, with a few fillers like "um" and "uh." The answer is generally coherent, but the structure could be improved by using more connecting words and phrases to link ideas together. For example, they could use "for example" or "in addition to" to introduce specific examples of their social activities.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a good range of vocabulary, including words like "socially active" and "connect with people." However, they could use more specific vocabulary to describe their social activities. For example, instead of saying "look over the person from social media," they could say "I check in with friends on social media" or "I use social media to stay updated on what my friends are doing."

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes a few grammatical errors, such as "look over the person from social media." They could improve their grammar by using more complex sentence structures and paying attention to subject-verb agreement. For example, they could say "I use social media to stay in touch with friends and family" instead of "I look over the person from social media."
