Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response is relevant and provides a clear reason for disliking social media. To improve, consider adding more specific examples or details to support your opinion.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally understandable, but there are some hesitations and awkward phrasing that affect the flow. For example, 'I don't use social media too much time' could be phrased more naturally. To improve, focus on using more natural connectors and avoiding unnecessary repetition. Practice speaking more smoothly by thinking in chunks of phrases rather than individual words.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but somewhat limited. The word 'keen' is used appropriately, but the overall range could be expanded. To improve, try to incorporate synonyms and more descriptive language. For example, instead of just saying 'harmful,' you could use words like 'detrimental' or 'damaging.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as 'I'm not keen in social media' (should be 'on') and 'I don't use social media too much time' (should be 'too much time on it'). While the meaning is clear, these errors impact the overall accuracy. To improve, focus on mastering prepositions and sentence structure. Review common grammatical errors and practice constructing sentences with varied structures.
