Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is quite good and covers the question well. Consider expanding on the types of news you follow and why you choose those particular platforms or channels. Adding a specific example of a recent news story you learned about could further enhance your response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is one noticeable slip ('circus social media' instead of 'various social media'), but it doesn't significantly impede understanding. Minor improvements in phrasing could enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The phrase 'common-wise I stay in format' is awkward and should be replaced with something like 'common ways I stay informed' or 'how I usually keep up-to-date'. More precise vocabulary choices would improve the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some minor errors ('common-wise I stay in format'). The sentence structure is simple. Using more complex grammatical structures would improve the score. The answer would benefit from more sophisticated sentence construction.
