For example, instead of saying 'keep up the news' multiple times, you could say 'stay informed' or 'follow current events'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are grammatical errors such as 'when it should me' which should be 'when it helps me'. The sentence structure is basic. Focus on using more complex sentence structures and ensuring correct grammar. Practice using different tenses and sentence types to improve grammatical range.
