I absolutely agree that it is important to keep up with the news. When you don't know the news that happens in our lives, you won't be successful or a really good person. This is absolutely my opinion. I also think that normal people will always know the news that happens in our lives, and this is really important.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from more specific examples and detailed explanations to support the opinion. Varying sentence structures and vocabulary could also enhance the clarity and impact of the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('Good person. Good person.'). The ideas are presented, but the flow could be smoother. Try to avoid repeating phrases and organize your thoughts more clearly before speaking. Using cohesive devices like 'furthermore,' 'in addition,' or 'for example' can help improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is relatively simple and lacks precision. The word choice is basic ('good person,' 'normal people'). To improve, try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to the topic of news and its impact. For example, instead of 'good person,' you could say 'well-informed citizen' or 'responsible member of society.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are grammatical errors, such as incorrect use of 'which' instead of 'that' ('news which happen in our life'). The sentence structure is also somewhat basic. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in your sentence construction. Practice using relative clauses correctly and vary your sentence beginnings.
