Okay, regarding the increasing reliance on social media, I think this reliance has two sides. One positive aspect can be summarized in the sharing of knowledge, the ability to develop your skills, and using the media for learning, connecting with a wide range of colleagues, and sharing information.

The response addresses the question by discussing both positive and negative impacts of social media on interpersonal relationships. To improve, consider providing more specific examples or elaborating on the mechanisms through which these impacts occur. Additionally, exploring the nuances of how different types of social media platforms or usage patterns might affect relationships could enhance the answer.

To improve, practice speaking more smoothly and avoid unnecessary repetitions. Using discourse markers more effectively could also enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise. For example, instead of 'good side' and 'very side effect,' using more specific terms like 'positive aspect' and 'negative impact' would enhance the lexical resource. Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to social media and interpersonal relationships.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors that affect clarity. For instance, 'when it's always give or deliver' should be 'when it delivers.' Also, 'become a slave to this image' could be phrased more naturally. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in verb tenses and sentence construction.
