Unfortunately, I do get stuck on social media platforms a lot nowadays, particularly on Telegram and Instagram. I don't know the reason entirely, but it definitely affects my mood and behavior. After watching some Instagram reels and scrolling on the internet, I feel drained of energy and unmotivated to study. That's why I need to change this habit in order to engage in a more productive daily life.

Your pronunciation is very good. Aim to refine subtleties and intonation to further improve.

Task Response

This is a good response that directly addresses the question. Consider expanding on the reasons behind your social media use and exploring potential solutions to reduce your usage in more detail. Adding specific examples of how social media affects your mood and behavior would further strengthen your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The speaker expresses their thoughts clearly and naturally. Minor repetition ('I don't know the reason entirely') could be avoided for improved fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow, such as 'consequently' or 'therefore'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like 'drained' and 'unmotivated' are used effectively. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be incorporated to demonstrate a wider range. For example, instead of 'get stuck,' consider using 'become engrossed' or 'find myself absorbed'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate with only minor slips. The sentence structure is varied and mostly correct. The phrase 'practice this habit' could be improved to 'change this habit' or 'break this habit' for better precision. The overall grammatical range is good, but using more complex sentence structures would enhance the score.
