Yes, definitely almost all of my friends do. I think it is a no-brainer for Gen Z nowadays to use social media to keep up with new trends or to broaden their horizon via TikTok, Facebook, or Instagram. For some of my friends, they like to use it for their daily lives mainly to keep up with the new trends or to share daily lives, but for some, they use it in a very strategic way like to promote their work and network to broaden their network with famous people.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer directly addresses the question and provides a clear, natural response. It elaborates on the different ways friends use social media, showing a good range of vocabulary and ideas. To improve, consider adding a brief personal example or contrasting with a friend who uses it less, which would make the answer more nuanced and fully developed.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally fluent and coherent, with a clear structure that contrasts two types of social media usage among friends. However, there is some repetition of ideas (e.g., 'keep up with new trends' mentioned twice) and a few hesitations ('like' used multiple times). To improve, reduce filler words and avoid repeating the same point to enhance conciseness.

Lexical Resource

Good use of vocabulary such as 'no-brainer', 'broaden their horizon', and 'strategic way'. However, there is some redundancy (e.g., 'broaden their network' repeated) and informal language ('like' used excessively). To improve, vary expressions and replace fillers with more precise terms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with a mix of simple and complex structures. Minor issues include a missing article ('it is like a no-brainer' should be 'it is a no-brainer') and a slight error in 'network that like to broaden' (should be 'network to broaden'). To improve, proofread for small errors and ensure consistent use of articles.
