Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent. Consider expanding on the reasons why people are more cautious about news sources and providing specific examples to illustrate your points. Adding a concluding sentence would enhance the overall structure.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is some repetition and slightly hesitant phrasing ("the person that is delivering the news or the person that is giving the news"), but the overall message is clear. Improving the flow by using more concise language would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "draws conclusions" could be replaced with more sophisticated alternatives, such as "form conclusions" or "interpret". The phrase "a lot of fake news has been going on" is slightly informal; a more formal alternative would be "a great deal of misinformation has been circulating".

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence "People, these results easily draws people with news" is grammatically incorrect. The use of "draws" is inappropriate in this context. The sentence structure could be improved for greater clarity and accuracy. While the overall message is understandable, more precise grammar would improve the score.
