Task Response

The answer is partially relevant to the question. The student acknowledges the positive aspects of technology but doesn't fully address the negative impact on communication. They mention negative effects on people's lives but don't elaborate on how it affects communication specifically. The student could have provided more specific examples of how technology can negatively impact communication, such as reduced face-to-face interaction or the decline of traditional forms of communication.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat disjointed and lacks a clear structure. The student uses a lot of fillers and hesitations, which disrupts the flow of the answer. The student could improve fluency by practicing speaking more naturally and avoiding unnecessary pauses. They could also improve coherence by organizing their thoughts more logically and using transition words to connect their ideas.

Lexical Resource

The student uses a range of vocabulary, but some words are not used accurately or appropriately. For example, the student uses "effects" instead of "impacts" and "question" instead of "concerns." The student could improve their lexical resource by expanding their vocabulary and using more precise language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student makes several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses and subject-verb agreement. For example, the student says "they helps us" instead of "it helps us." The student could improve their grammatical accuracy by reviewing basic grammar rules and practicing using different grammatical structures.
