Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides some insights into the negative impacts of technology on communication. However, it could benefit from a more balanced perspective by acknowledging some positive aspects of technology in communication and providing more specific examples to support the claims. Consider exploring the complexities of the relationship between technology and communication more thoroughly.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There are a few instances of repetition and self-correction ("engage too many", "another or other technologies"), but these do not significantly impede understanding. Improving the flow by using more sophisticated linking words and avoiding unnecessary repetition would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Words like "loneliness" and "face-to-face conversation" are used effectively. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be incorporated to demonstrate a wider range. For example, instead of 'a lot of struggle,' consider using 'significant challenges' or 'considerable difficulties'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

While the grammar is mostly correct, there are some errors. The sentence "Sometimes these technologies and the special social media bring loneliness" is grammatically awkward. The phrase "it makes them alone" is also grammatically incorrect. More complex grammatical structures and accurate use of articles and prepositions would improve the score. Consider reviewing grammar rules related to subject-verb agreement and the use of articles.
