Social media shows us things that can't exist in real life. We see uncanny relationships and try to duplicate them in our daily lives, but that's not right at all. In my opinion, social media just shows us how we can act in our relationships, but we shouldn't forget that it's just videos, not real life.

Task Response

The response addresses the question but could benefit from further elaboration and specific examples to strengthen the points made. Consider exploring a wider range of impacts and providing more detailed explanations.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent and easy to follow. The ideas are presented in a logical order. To improve, consider using more varied cohesive devices to link ideas and sentences more smoothly. For example, you could use phrases like 'Furthermore,' 'In addition,' or 'On the other hand' to introduce new points or contrasting ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and relevant to the topic. The use of 'uncanny relationships' is appropriate. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to social media and relationships. For example, instead of 'things that can't exist in real life,' you could use phrases like 'idealized portrayals' or 'unrealistic expectations.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate with only minor errors ('showed to us' instead of 'shows us'). The sentence structure is relatively simple but effective. To demonstrate a greater grammatical range, try incorporating more complex sentence structures, such as using relative clauses or conditional sentences. For example, 'Social media often presents idealized versions of relationships, which can lead to unrealistic expectations in real life.'
