Task Response

The student provides a clear and relevant answer to the question, mentioning multiple sources of news. However, the answer could be more detailed by elaborating on the specific types of news they consume or the reasons behind their choices. For example, they could mention specific news websites or apps they use, or explain why they prefer certain sources over others.

Fluency & Coherence

The student speaks with a good pace and rhythm, but there are a few instances of hesitation and repetition, particularly in the phrase "Although I really own app set guide news based on my interest." This could be improved by using more fluent and natural language, such as "Although I really enjoy apps that curate news based on my interests."

Lexical Resource

The student uses a good range of vocabulary, including words like "various sources," "social media," "Instagram," "Telegram," and "television news websites." However, the phrase "own app set guide news" is a bit awkward and could be replaced with a more natural expression, such as "apps that curate news." The student could also use more specific vocabulary to describe the types of news they consume, such as "politics," "sports," or "entertainment."

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The student demonstrates good grammatical control, but there are a few minor errors, such as the incorrect use of "own" in the phrase "Although I really own app set guide news." The student also uses the phrase "based on my interest" instead of "based on my interests." These errors could be avoided by paying more attention to grammar and using more accurate language.
