In my perspective, I think establishing two major departments is essential: one for cybersecurity and the other for verification. The verification department should be established to address the growing problem of misinformation and fake news. Before the spread of fake news, the verification department will be able to verify the news before it is posted online, especially on TV channels or the official accounts of news anchors or famous personalities. This way, we would be safe from receiving fake information from major personalities. Apart from that, if any kind of fake news has been spread over social media, the cybersecurity department should be involved in that case to immediately solve the problem and verify whether it is fake or true news. Otherwise, it can cause many problems for a lot of people or very large masses.

To improve, try to vary sentence structure and use synonyms to avoid repetition. Practice speaking more smoothly and connecting ideas with transition words.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, using terms like 'misinformation,' 'fake news,' 'cybersecurity,' and 'verification.' However, the range could be expanded with more precise and nuanced vocabulary related to information verification and cybersecurity measures. For example, instead of 'solve the problem,' consider using 'mitigate the impact' or 'counteract the spread.' To enhance lexical resource, read articles and reports on the topic to learn more specific vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors that affect clarity. For example, 'establishment two major departments' should be 'establishing two major departments.' Also, 'the verification department will able to verify' should be 'the verification department will be able to verify.' To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of articles, and proper verb tense usage. Review basic grammar rules and practice speaking with attention to accuracy.
