However, the answer could be more detailed and specific in terms of the benefits and drawbacks of social media. For example, they could mention how social media helps them stay connected with friends and family, but also how it can be a source of negativity or misinformation.

The student uses some cohesive devices like "for example" and "also" to connect their ideas. However, the answer could be more structured and organized. For example, they could group their reasons for using social media into categories like staying connected, staying informed, and learning new things.
