Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate, although some phrases could be more precise. The phrase "large collection" is a bit awkward; consider using a more natural expression like "a large number of friends" or "many friends." The use of "quality not quantity" is good, showing a good range of vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, particularly in the sentence "I think it's better to be a few people who we can trust comparison than a large collection with best friend." This sentence is grammatically incorrect and difficult to understand. The sentence structure needs improvement. Also, the phrase "just I think I believe" is awkward and redundant. Focus on using more complex sentence structures and ensuring grammatical accuracy.
