It is widely believed that the rapid development of technology has made information easier and faster to access than before. As a direct consequence, people can easily communicate with others regardless of distance. In contrast, few dispute that excessive reliance on electronic devices can negatively impact people's mental health. However, I hold the view that this depends on the prudent use by people. For instance, video calls can strengthen familial bonds, whereas excessive reliance on digital tools can lead to social isolation.

It is widely believed that rapid development of technology has returned information to ensure easy and faster than before. As a direct consequence, people can easily communicate with others regardless of their distance.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer stays on topic and addresses the question about technology's impact on relationships. It provides a balanced view, mentioning both positive and negative aspects, and includes a personal perspective. However, the response could be more fully developed with additional specific examples or personal experiences to illustrate the points made. Expanding on the example of video calls or social isolation would strengthen the answer. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and logically organized, with clear progression from the benefits of technology to potential drawbacks and a balanced conclusion. However, there are some issues with fluency due to awkward phrasing and minor self-corrections. For example, 'has returned information to ensure easy and faster' is unclear and disrupts flow. The refined version improves clarity, but the raw answer still shows some hesitation and lack of smooth transitions. To improve, practice using more natural linking phrases and ensure each sentence is clear and concise.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and includes some good phrases like 'rapid development', 'direct consequence', 'excessive reliance', and 'prudent use'. However, there are inaccuracies and awkward word choices, such as 'has returned information to ensure easy and faster' which is not idiomatic. The refined version corrects this to 'has made information easier and faster to access', showing better precision. To improve, focus on using collocations and precise vocabulary, and avoid direct translations from your native language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with a good range of structures including complex sentences and conditionals. However, there are some errors and awkward constructions, such as 'has returned information to ensure easy and faster' (incorrect verb and comparative form) and 'where the excessive reliance' (should be 'whereas' or 'while'). The refined version corrects these to 'has made information easier and faster' and 'whereas excessive reliance', improving accuracy. To improve, practice using a wider range of grammatical structures and proofread for common errors like subject-verb agreement and word order.
