I think it's important to stay in touch with your friends from school because if they were good friends, why not? Why not keep contacting these people? As I said, the more people you know, the more experience you gain and the more ideas you have to share. If they were bad people, then you don't need to contact them. Yeah, that's it.

Task Response

The answer is somewhat relevant to the question but lacks depth and detailed explanation. Consider exploring the benefits of maintaining school friendships in more detail, such as emotional support, shared memories, and networking opportunities. Try to structure your response more logically and use more sophisticated vocabulary.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable, but the structure could be improved. There's some repetition and the reasoning isn't fully developed. Try to create a more logical flow of ideas, perhaps by starting with a clear statement of your opinion and then providing supporting reasons. Avoid filler words like 'yeah' and 'so'.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Phrases like "good people" and "bad people" are simplistic. Try to use more specific and nuanced vocabulary to express your ideas more effectively. For example, instead of 'good friends', you could say 'close friends' or 'supportive friends'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, particularly in the use of articles and verb tenses. For example, "Why you don't keep contacting" should be "Why not keep contacting." Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and tense consistency. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures to improve accuracy and fluency.
