Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The response is somewhat relevant to the topic but lacks depth and coherence. The ideas are not well-developed, and the response drifts into a general discussion about technology rather than focusing specifically on how social media has changed relationships. To improve, focus on providing specific examples and a more structured explanation of the impact of social media on relationship formation and maintenance.

Fluency & Coherence

The response contains noticeable hesitations and some repetition ('an interesting question an interesting topic'). The organization of ideas is somewhat unclear, and the response lacks cohesive devices to smoothly connect ideas. To improve, practice speaking more fluently on a variety of topics and focus on using transition words and phrases to link your ideas together.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and lacks precision. There is reliance on common words and phrases. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and varied vocabulary related to the topic of social media and relationships. Read articles and listen to podcasts to expand your vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The response contains grammatical errors, such as incorrect verb forms ('all people have a have a phones') and article usage ('when we don't have a phones'). The range of grammatical structures is limited. To improve, focus on practicing accurate grammar and expanding your knowledge of different sentence structures. Review basic grammar rules and practice using them in your speaking.
