I don't think so because both good and bad news are essential to be heard. We just want to hear real news, whether positive or negative. I tend to share news that is real and related to my life. It is vital for me to receive reliable news without any bias. I'm afraid that nowadays the majority of media are biased by particular organizations because these organizations support them. They invest in these media, whether it's magazines, newspapers, or online platforms. This is really challenging.

Pronunciation

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear opinion. However, it could benefit from further development of the arguments and a more general approach, focusing less on personal preferences and experiences. Consider exploring the broader societal implications of only publishing good news, and the potential consequences of suppressing negative information.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There is a slight stumble in the first sentence ('both of real') and some minor repetition, but overall the ideas flow logically. Improving the pacing and reducing minor hesitations would enhance fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'vital' and 'biased' are used appropriately. More sophisticated vocabulary could be incorporated to demonstrate a wider range, for example, instead of 'real news' consider 'factual reporting' or 'unbiased accounts'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies, such as 'both of real' and the slightly awkward phrasing in the first sentence. While the overall message is clear, more precise grammar would improve the score. Focus on subject-verb agreement and sentence structure. The use of 'because' twice in quick succession could be improved by using a wider range of conjunctions.
