I actually think that new technologies definitely affect how youngsters communicate nowadays. I'm not the kind of person who likes to communicate through social media or talk through gadgets. I prefer to meet with a person in one place, with a cup of tea, and communicate. I don't see myself communicating through a mobile phone, laptop, or that kind of stuff. I think that youngsters nowadays are more inclined to prefer communicating through social media. All of the youngsters nowadays have their own social media accounts, and from my point of view, this is not too bad and not too good. I think everything is in its place.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response touches on the topic but lacks depth and specific examples. To improve, consider providing more detailed explanations and exploring both positive and negative impacts of technology on communication skills. Focus on offering a more balanced perspective and elaborating on the nuances of the issue.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some hesitations and repetitions ('So I'm,' 'communicate through social media, talk, through gadgets'). The organization of ideas is adequate but could be improved with clearer transitions between points. Try to minimize filler words and pauses to enhance fluency. Practice structuring your answers with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but it lacks precision and variety. Phrases like 'kind of stuff' are vague. To improve, try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to technology and communication. For example, instead of 'kind of stuff,' you could say 'digital devices' or 'online platforms.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors in the response ('definitely affects,' 'more prefer'). The range of grammatical structures is limited. Focus on using correct verb tenses and subject-verb agreement. Practice using a wider range of sentence structures, including complex sentences, to demonstrate grammatical range.
