Task Response

The student provides a basic response, acknowledging the negative aspects of excessive social media use. However, the answer lacks specific details and elaboration. For example, the student mentions "drawbacks" but doesn't elaborate on what those drawbacks are. The student also mentions "bad for my eyes" and "affects my studying" but doesn't explain how or why. To improve, the student should provide more specific examples and explanations to support their points.

Fluency & Coherence

The student's speech is somewhat hesitant and disjointed. There are several filler words and repetitions, such as "um" and "thing about." The student also struggles to connect their ideas smoothly. For example, the phrase "Besides that, it affects my studying" is not a clear transition from the previous sentence. To improve, the student should practice speaking more fluently and using smoother transitions between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a limited range of vocabulary. While the student uses some relevant words like "drawbacks" and "affects," they also use some less precise words like "meat my eyes" and "power of social networks." The student could benefit from expanding their vocabulary related to social media and its impact. For example, instead of "power of social networks," the student could use a more specific term like "influence" or "addiction."

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes several grammatical errors. For example, the student uses the incorrect tense in "I spending too much time" and uses an incorrect preposition in "Besides it affect studying a spoon." The student also uses an awkward phrase "thing about" at the end of the answer. To improve, the student should focus on practicing basic grammar rules and using more natural and accurate language.
