What I believe is that social media is killing everyone's social skills when it comes to face-to-face conversations and making new friends. It affects your ability to express yourself quickly and efficiently, as you often rely on hiding behind a screen and having time to respond with letters on your keyboard instead of engaging in real-time thinking and interaction. How do we say this?

The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear opinion. To improve, consider expanding on the points made with specific examples or further explanations. Also, try to avoid phrases like 'How do we say this?' during the test.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable hesitations and self-corrections ('real-time real-time how do we say this'). The ideas are generally connected, but the flow could be smoother. To improve, practice speaking more continuously and try to avoid filler phrases.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. Phrases like 'killing everyone's social skills' and 'hiding your face behind the screen' are relevant but could be more precise. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more varied and nuanced vocabulary related to communication and social interaction.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally accurate, but there are some awkward phrasings and minor errors ('What I certainly believe that'). The range of structures is somewhat limited. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of sentence structures and ensuring grammatical accuracy in more complex sentences.
