I think it is very common for most people to be using social media, of course, with different types of apps and technology. Some people are using their own skills, which is very beneficial, and they keep gaining more information. That is the reason I think more individuals are learning different types of skills, which is very beneficial and essential, such as editing, graphic design, and marketing. These types of skills are very available on social media, and I think that is the reason more people achieve success and happiness in their lives.

Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from a more direct focus on how social media influences perceptions of success and happiness. While the answer touches on skill acquisition, it could be strengthened by explicitly linking these skills to altered perceptions. Consider providing more specific examples and elaborating on the psychological impact of social media on these perceptions.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but there are noticeable pauses and hesitations ('um,' 'uh,' repetition of phrases). The ideas are presented, but the connections between them could be clearer. To improve, focus on structuring your answer more logically and using transition words to guide the listener. Practice speaking more smoothly and reducing unnecessary pauses.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. The word choice is simple and common. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to the topic of social media, success, and happiness. Use synonyms and idiomatic expressions where appropriate.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'mostly people using at the time social media' and 'keep to more information' are grammatically incorrect. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in your sentence construction. Review basic grammar rules and practice constructing complex sentences.
