Well, with the development of technology and science, in the past, people didn't have smartphones, so they usually communicated with each other face to face or just called others on the telephone. But these days, with the existence of chat apps such as WeChat and others like Viber or Bitly, many people communicate with each other on the Internet. I think in the future, it is a main trend that everyone will communicate on social media instead of in person.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from a more in-depth exploration of the potential effects on face-to-face communication skills. Providing specific examples of how these skills might be affected would strengthen the answer. Additionally, expanding on the implications for future generations would enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there are some minor hesitations and reformulations ('and other things or Vibra or BitBitly, you know'). The organization of ideas is clear, but could be slightly more sophisticated. To improve, try to minimize filler words and aim for smoother transitions between sentences.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly varied or precise. Using more specific and nuanced vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'other things,' provide more concrete examples or use a more general term like 'various platforms.' Also, 'full chatting apps' could be rephrased for better precision.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate with only minor errors. The range of structures is good, but there's room for more complex sentence constructions. For example, consider using more subordinate clauses or varied sentence beginnings to add complexity and sophistication.
