Task Response

This is a good start to answering the question. Consider expanding on your response by providing specific examples of how you connect with friends or the types of people you've met from other countries. Adding details will make your answer more engaging and demonstrate a wider range of vocabulary and grammatical structures.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the phrasing is somewhat unnatural and disjointed. The structure could be improved by using clearer connectors and a more concise sentence structure. For example, instead of 'I social media with Instagram,' try 'I use Instagram,' or 'I enjoy using Instagram.'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. 'Third tool of virtual media' is not a natural expression. Using more precise terms like 'platform' or 'network' would improve the answer. The word 'connect' would be a better choice than 'meet' in this context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors. The sentence 'I social media with Instagram' is grammatically incorrect. The phrasing 'we also can meet from the people from other countries' is awkward and grammatically flawed. Improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure is crucial for a higher score.
