I firmly believe that digital tools and technology have offered platforms that help us stay in touch with our relatives and friends. However, one of the adverse effects it can cause is isolation, and it can reduce meaningful communication in our skills and abilities in the coming decades. I would say it is a double-edged sword. It connects people but can also lead to deteriorating results.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides a clear perspective on the impact of digital communication on nonverbal communication skills. The answer could be strengthened by providing specific examples or elaborating on the mechanisms through which digital communication affects these skills. Additionally, exploring potential solutions or adaptations could add further depth to the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, presenting a clear viewpoint. However, there are some minor hesitations and a slight lack of flow. To improve, focus on smoother transitions between ideas and avoid unnecessary pauses. Practice speaking more continuously on a variety of topics to enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the topic, including phrases like 'double-edged sword.' However, the range could be expanded to demonstrate greater lexical flexibility. Try to incorporate more nuanced vocabulary related to communication and technology. For example, instead of 'deteriorating results,' consider using terms like 'diminished interpersonal skills' or 'weakened nonverbal cues.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors ('technology has offered' should be 'technology have offered' or 'technology has offered'). The range of structures is somewhat limited. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of sentence structures and tenses accurately. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and article usage.
