Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear opinion. However, it mainly focuses on the negative impacts of social media, which is only one aspect of technological development. To improve, consider discussing a wider range of technologies and their effects on communication, including both positive and negative aspects. Broadening the scope and providing more balanced examples would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The ideas flow logically. Minor repetition ('social media or other technologies') could be avoided for improved fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow of ideas.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'engage' and 'interaction' are used appropriately. More precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be incorporated to demonstrate a wider range. For example, instead of 'negative impacts,' consider using 'detrimental effects' or 'adverse consequences'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with only minor errors. The sentence 'They often don't want to be happy or engaging face to face conversation with others' needs correction. While the meaning is clear, more complex grammatical structures could be used to demonstrate a wider range. Consider using more varied sentence structures to improve the overall grammatical range.
