In the past, families would sit around the television and enjoy delicious food, watching a special broadcast on TV together. The memories live on this way; they did this because in the past, there was no internet, so it helped strengthen the bond between family members. Now, with the rise of technology, people use social media to connect with family and friends living far away, such as social media apps like Facebook and Messenger, to share photos and videos with them. Also, some people at home tend to watch live streams on social media platforms instead of gathering to watch TV. The rise of technology has made it convenient to connect with each other.

Pronunciation

5.5

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

Task Response

The answer adequately addresses the prompt by comparing past and present celebrations. Consider adding more specific details about the national celebrations themselves and expanding on the impact of technology beyond social media. More illustrative examples would strengthen the response. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There are a few instances of unnatural phrasing and repetition. Focus on smoother transitions between ideas and avoid unnecessary hesitations or fillers. Practice speaking at a natural pace with minimal self-correction.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate, but could be more precise and sophisticated. While the answer conveys the main ideas, using more specific and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'social media app like Facebook, Messenger to Facebook, Twitch, Tumb,' try 'platforms such as Facebook, Messenger, and Twitch, allowing for the sharing of photos and videos.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses and preposition usage. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage. Review common grammatical structures and practice using them accurately in different contexts. For example, 'don't have any internet' should be 'did not have internet access,' and 'The rise of technology has people to convenient' should be 'The rise of technology has made it convenient'.
