Social media has a really big impact on our lives in general, and it has also changed our understanding of privacy. When you have social media, you always see people sharing everything that happens in their lives. If they go on vacation, they will definitely share it. If someone dies in their life, they will definitely share that too. This can be annoying because it's hard to imagine that person doesn't have any privacy. They just share everything with people they don't even know. You don't know who is watching your posts, and you don't know who is subscribing to you. It might be a crazy person. I think it has a lot of cons, and I would not do that. While it's good to share your life with others, sometimes people do it too much.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question by discussing how social media has influenced our perception of privacy, particularly through the sharing of personal information. To improve, consider providing a more structured and analytical approach by discussing specific aspects of privacy (e.g., data security, personal boundaries) and how social media impacts each. Also, try to avoid using personal experiences.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some instances of repetition ('they will definitely share it') and a slightly disorganized flow of ideas. The use of cohesive devices is basic. To improve, try to vary sentence structure and use more sophisticated linking words to connect ideas more smoothly. Practice organizing your thoughts before speaking to ensure a more logical progression.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, but it lacks precision and variety. Words like 'big impact' and 'annoying' are somewhat generic. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to privacy and social media. For example, instead of 'big impact,' you could say 'profound influence' or 'significant effect.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are some noticeable errors (e.g., 'privacy of us,' 'someone died in their life'). While these errors don't significantly impede understanding, they do affect the overall impression. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in basic sentence constructions. Review common grammatical errors and practice using more complex sentence structures.
