Nowadays, digital addiction is really prevalent, and I think that's a scary problem because of modern technology. A lot of people just don't think about their future or their real lives because they spend more of their time on the internet. Because of that, their lives could be really affected. I think that we should address this and solve this problem. People should be more educated and maybe motivated to engage in other activities. For example, they could spend more time with friends or relatives. This could help avoid or overcome this issue. They might also find something interesting for themselves.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The response addresses the question and offers some relevant ideas, such as education and alternative activities. However, the ideas could be developed further with more specific examples and explanations. The response could also benefit from a more structured approach to presenting the information.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally understandable, but there are some hesitations and a lack of smooth flow. The ideas are presented, but the connection between them could be clearer. Try to use more cohesive devices to link your ideas together and avoid starting sentences with 'and' too frequently. Practice speaking more continuously on a variety of topics to improve fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. Words like 'popular,' 'scary,' and 'destroyed' are used, but more specific and nuanced vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'destroyed,' consider using 'negatively impacted' or 'compromised.' Expand your vocabulary by reading widely and actively learning new words in context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors throughout the response, such as incorrect verb tenses ('spent' instead of 'spend'), incorrect use of articles ('the internet' instead of 'internet'), and awkward phrasing ('the year house could be really destroyed'). While these errors don't completely impede understanding, they do affect the overall clarity and sophistication of the answer. Focus on practicing accurate grammar and sentence structure. Review basic grammar rules and try to incorporate more complex sentence structures.
