I think that technology has changed people's communication by connecting people without face-to-face interaction. If you are obsessed with technology, you don't meet your friends or relatives because you are addicted to connecting with people through technology. Technology helps you message friends or in other situations, but I think it's not normal to be addicted to technology.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The answer stays on the topic of technology's impact on communication, but it is somewhat limited in scope and depth. It focuses mainly on the negative aspect of addiction and reduced face-to-face interaction, without exploring other significant changes such as speed, global reach, or new forms of communication. The response is also somewhat personal and repetitive, and could be more general and balanced. To improve, consider discussing both positive and negative effects, and provide a more structured and comprehensive overview.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is somewhat coherent but lacks clear organization and development. The main idea is present, but the response is repetitive and contains hesitations ('yeah', 'exactly'). To improve, structure your answer with a clear introduction, supporting points, and a conclusion. Use cohesive devices like 'firstly', 'moreover', 'however' to link ideas. Avoid repetition and self-correction.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is basic and repetitive (e.g., 'technology', 'addicted', 'connect'). There is some attempt to use specific terms like 'face to face' and 'obsessed', but the range is limited. To improve, use a wider variety of precise vocabulary, such as 'virtual interaction', 'digital dependency', 'social isolation', and 'communication platforms'. Avoid overusing the same words.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate but simple, with frequent use of simple sentences and some errors in word form and structure (e.g., 'you addicted to connect' should be 'you are addicted to connecting'). There is limited use of complex structures. To improve, practice using a mix of simple, compound, and complex sentences. Ensure subject-verb agreement and correct verb forms.
