Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides relevant points about the impact of social media on young people's self-esteem and identity. The answer could be improved by providing a broader perspective and exploring additional facets of the issue.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there are some minor hesitations and a slight lack of flow. To improve, focus on using linking words more effectively and structuring your sentences for smoother delivery. Practice speaking on similar topics to build confidence and fluency.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. Words like 'prominent,' 'motivates,' and 'deteriorated' are used appropriately. To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to the topic of social media and its effects. For example, instead of 'change their looks,' you could say 'alter their appearance.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors that slightly affect clarity. For example, 'insecurity that weren't as prominent' should be 'insecurities that weren't as prominent.' Also, 'fake celebrities photos and like that' is a bit vague and could be phrased more clearly. Focus on subject-verb agreement and precise wording to improve grammatical accuracy.
