Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear opinion. However, expanding on the impact of technology on maintaining friendships, perhaps by discussing both positive and negative aspects or offering specific examples, would strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The ideas flow logically. Minor improvements could be made by using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to enhance the flow even further. For example, instead of 'In this developing area,' a more nuanced phrase like 'In today's technologically advanced world' could be used. The slight repetition of 'easy' could be avoided by using synonyms.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The candidate uses words like 'interactions,' 'updates,' and 'regardless of distance' appropriately. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could be used to demonstrate a wider range. For example, instead of 'sharing their daily interactions,' 'sharing their daily lives' or 'exchanging updates' could be used. The phrase 'click their phone' could be replaced with 'a click of their phone' for better precision.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The sentence 'Technology nowadays make people easy to do many things just by click their phone' has a subject-verb agreement error and an article omission. The refined answer corrects these. While the candidate demonstrates a good grasp of grammatical structures, using more complex sentence structures would enhance the score. For example, embedding clauses or using participial phrases would add variety and sophistication.
