Pronunciation

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

Task Response

The response addresses the question and provides relevant points regarding the media's role in shaping public perception of scientific issues. The answer could be strengthened by providing more specific examples or elaborating on the mechanisms through which the media influences public opinion. Additionally, exploring the nuances of this influence, such as the potential for bias or misinformation, would enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there are some instances of repetition ('shaping our understanding of all problems') and a few hesitations. To improve, try to vary your sentence structure and use more cohesive devices to link your ideas together more smoothly. For example, you could use phrases like 'Furthermore,' 'In addition,' or 'Consequently' to connect your thoughts.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. While you use words like 'perception,' 'impact,' and 'trend,' consider incorporating more specific scientific or media-related terminology. For instance, you could discuss 'dissemination of information,' 'scientific literacy,' or 'media bias.' This would demonstrate a greater command of the topic-specific vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some errors that affect clarity. For example, 'Anistagram' should be 'Instagram,' and there are some awkward phrasings like 'public perception is related to each other.' Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring that your sentences are grammatically sound. Practice using complex sentences with relative clauses or conditional clauses to showcase your grammatical range.
