Male Female

You bet, absolutely I do. Personally, I can't live without the internet. That sounds rather pointless. No social networks means no survival for me. It is a universal struggle in my house. It is not just me; my family is also glued to our screens. With our Wi-Fi running seamlessly and flawlessly at all times, it's evident that we are really dependent on connection and couldn't make it through a day offline. I have a social media addiction, no doubt. On the flip side, of course, experiencing a shift in perspective, you realize that you won't let your youth slip away within the four walls of your home. Unfortunately, however, I try to escape from my habits, but I can't bring myself to do it. That's all.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the topic and provides a clear stance regarding internet usage. There is a good use of idiomatic language and personal reflection. However, the response is somewhat narrow in scope. While the prompt asks if you use the internet, a more comprehensive answer would involve describing how it is used (e.g., for work, education, or entertainment) rather than focusing solely on the concept of addiction. To improve, try to expand on the functional aspects of your internet usage to provide a more well-rounded and detailed response.

Fluency & Coherence

The speaker demonstrates a good attempt at using cohesive devices (e.g., 'On the flip side', 'Unfortunately, however'). However, the coherence suffers due to some logical leaps and fragmented ideas. For instance, the transition from being 'glued to screens' to 'not letting your youth slip away' is somewhat abrupt and confusing in context. To improve, ensure that each sentence logically builds upon the previous one to create a smooth narrative flow.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use high-level vocabulary and idiomatic expressions such as 'glued to our screens', 'seamlessly and flawlessly', and 'on the flip side'. However, there are significant errors in word formation and usage that impede precision. For example, 'interfamily' is not a standard term (should be 'family members'), 'social mediholic bad' is non-standard (should be 'social media addiction'), and 'sleep away' was likely intended to be 'slip away'. Focus on learning collocations to ensure these advanced words are used naturally.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The speaker uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but grammatical errors are frequent and sometimes affect clarity. Examples include 'It is not just only me' (redundant), 'I can't bring myself through it' (incorrect prepositional usage), and issues with sentence boundaries. While the meaning is generally understood, the lack of control over complex structures prevents a higher score. Work on subject-verb agreement and the correct use of prepositions and conjunctions to connect clauses.
