Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer is quite good and covers the question well. Consider expanding on the types of news you follow on social media and TV, and perhaps mention any differences in how you consume news from each source. Adding a sentence or two about your preferred news style (e.g., in-depth analysis, breaking news) would further enhance your response.

Fluency & Coherence

Good overall fluency. Minor hesitations ('uh uh') and a slightly abrupt ending. Try to plan a more complete concluding sentence next time.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. 'Platformers' is not quite right; 'platforms' is better. The phrase 'common WS' is unclear and should be replaced with something like 'common sources' or 'my usual sources'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some minor errors. The sentence 'I find that both television news channels and social media platforms uh uh are common WS for me' is grammatically awkward. Work on sentence structure and avoid unnecessary hesitations.
