I believe the increasing reliance on social media poses a significant challenge to young people nowadays. As they become accustomed to online interactions, many young people struggle with communication due to a lack of confidence and shyness. It can also hinder their ability to communicate with each other in the future, which is crucial. However, on the other hand, online social media communication can maintain their interactions despite the fact that they are far away from each other. I think that's one of the beneficial aspects.

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 points regarding the impact of social media on face-to-face communication skills. The answer includes both positive and negative aspects, showing a balanced perspective. To further improve, consider elaborating on the points made with specific examples or more detailed explanations.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, presenting a clear argument with contrasting viewpoints. However, there are some hesitations and slight awkwardness in phrasing that affect the flow. To improve, practice speaking more smoothly and naturally, focusing on connecting ideas seamlessly. Work on reducing pauses and filler words.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, but there's room for improvement in using more precise and varied language. For example, instead of saying 'crucial thing,' you could use more specific terms like 'essential skill' or 'vital component.' Expand your vocabulary related to communication and social interaction to express ideas more effectively.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors and awkward sentence structures. For instance, 'Lab lives' at the beginning is unclear, and the phrasing 'hide their ability to communicate' could be improved. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures with greater accuracy. Review and practice complex sentence constructions to enhance your grammatical range.
