I believe that the increased use of social media has changed the way people communicate and interact with each other significantly. For example, with the rise of social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, people can now keep in touch with their loved ones, regardless of geographical barriers. Additionally, they can also meet new friends on social media and on apps built into their phones. In that way, they can maintain connections with their friends without needing to meet face to face. They can also learn about new countries and new cultures.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides relevant examples to support the points made. The answer could be improved by exploring both the positive and negative impacts of social media on interpersonal relationships, offering a more balanced perspective. Additionally, elaborating on the depth of these relationships and the potential for superficiality could enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some instances of repetition and slight hesitations. To improve, try to vary your sentence structure and use more cohesive devices to link your ideas together more smoothly. For example, instead of saying 'Additionally, they can also...', try using phrases like 'Furthermore' or 'Moreover' to add variety.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but could be more precise and varied. For instance, instead of saying 'keep in touch,' you could use phrases like 'maintain connections' or 'foster relationships.' Expanding your vocabulary related to communication and social interaction would enhance your response.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors, such as 'some social media and on some apps that you built in their phone' which should be 'social media and on apps built into their phones.' Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct use of prepositions. Also, ensure correct pluralization of nouns.
