Task Response

The response adequately addresses the frequency of text messaging and its popularity. However, further elaboration on the reasons behind the popularity and a more detailed comparison of messaging habits across different age groups would strengthen the response. Consider providing specific examples to illustrate your points.

The response is coherent and mostly fluent. There's a slight stumble in the first sentence ('I just more call them than a calling sometimes'), which could be improved with clearer phrasing. Overall, the ideas flow well.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and appropriate for the task. The use of 'stay in touch' and 'make quick plans' shows good range. More precise vocabulary could be used in places; for example, instead of 'kind of apps,' specifying the type of app would be better.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence 'I just more call them than a calling sometimes' is grammatically incorrect. The final sentence is also incomplete ('Yes, I use it'). While the overall message is clear, improving grammatical accuracy would significantly enhance the score.
