Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and addresses the question directly. Consider expanding on the societal impacts of excessive short-video consumption for a more comprehensive response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the fluency could be improved. There are some hesitations and unnatural phrasing, such as "short videos stream is caused by several reasons." Work on smoother transitions between ideas and reduce filler words like "uh." Practice speaking at a more consistent pace.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The use of "addicted" is slightly off; "addicted to" would be more natural. Consider using more precise vocabulary to describe the addictive nature of short video platforms. For example, instead of "a sense of happiness," you could use "dopamine rush" or "instant gratification."

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical errors, such as the sentence structure in the first sentence and the incorrect use of "add dicted." The grammar is mostly understandable, but more accurate and varied sentence structures would improve the score. Focus on subject-verb agreement and correct preposition usage.
