In my point of view, social media does have a negative impact on society. You can see in some countries like Vietnam or China, they're all watching TikTok. In Vietnam, you will see girls and boys dancing, while in China, there are only some successful quotes from influencers or something like that. So basically, it has a very big negative impact on society at the moment. That's about it.

Task Response

The answer is partially relevant to the question, but lacks sufficient explanation and supporting details.

For example, instead of 'negative impact,' consider words like 'detrimental effects,' 'harmful consequences,' or 'undesirable influence'.

The grammar is mostly accurate, with only minor errors. The sentence structure is relatively simple. Using more complex grammatical structures and avoiding minor grammatical errors would improve the score. For example, the phrase 'they're all watching TikTok' could be improved to 'the widespread use of TikTok' or 'the prevalence of TikTok'.
