What is a very controversial topic? Some people prefer to read traditional media because they don't have access to modern technologies such as smartphones, and they don't know how to use them.

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from a more in-depth exploration of the evolving role of traditional media. Consider elaborating on how traditional media outlets are adapting to the digital age and the challenges they face. Providing specific examples or discussing the strategies they employ to remain relevant would strengthen the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are some hesitations and a lack of smooth flow. The ideas are presented, but the connection between them could be stronger. To improve, practice connecting your ideas with transition words and phrases to create a more logical and fluent flow. For example, use phrases like 'In contrast,' 'Furthermore,' or 'Therefore' to link your points more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The word choice is simple and doesn't demonstrate a wide range of vocabulary. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to media and technology. For example, instead of 'read,' you could use 'consume' or 'access.' Also, try to use synonyms to avoid repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are some errors in sentence structure and word usage. For example, 'both sides has' should be 'both sides have.' To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct article usage. Review basic grammar rules and practice constructing more complex sentences.
