People now tend to scroll all the time on social media, whether on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. The most common one is now TikTok. People tend to idolize influencers because they witness their journey from being a doormat to being successful in life right now, as they have a lot of money.

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 but could benefit from a more comprehensive exploration of the topic. Consider providing a more balanced discussion of the various ways social media impacts perceptions of success and happiness, including potential negative effects or alternative viewpoints. Providing specific examples or evidence to support your claims would also strengthen the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response demonstrates some coherence, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('people people,' 'how how'). The organization of ideas is somewhat clear, but could be improved with more cohesive devices to link sentences and ideas together more smoothly. Try to minimize pauses and repetitions by practicing speaking on similar topics.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for expressing the main ideas, but it lacks precision and variety. The phrase 'doormat to being easy in life' is not very precise. To improve, try to use more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to success, happiness, and social media influence. For example, instead of 'easy in life,' you could say 'financially secure' or 'living a comfortable lifestyle.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The response contains grammatical errors, such as incorrect verb tenses ('people tends') and awkward phrasing ('captured the viewers to make them idealize the system'). While the overall meaning is understandable, these errors detract from the clarity and impact of the response. Focus on using correct verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure. Practice speaking and writing to reinforce correct grammar.

For example, many beauty companies promote anti-aging products that claim to reduce wrinkles and keep the skin looking youthful. This suggests that society often views youthful appearance as attractive. However, I believe beauty […]

Do you think people are becoming more or less patient as a result of instant gratification in technology?

In my point of view, I think so. People getting less patience because of technology, because they want each and everything’s problem or solution in a second, and also too much depend on technology. That’s why people lose their patience.

What are the potential social consequences of AI-generated companions becoming more common in daily life?

Well I think AI has its own advantages and disadvantages. Well AI can help people navigate data, can help analyze it, it is faster, it is more efficient. However, slowly, I feel like we are losing the plot somehow. People are reaching to AI more than ever. Employers are now replacing employees with AI. And […]

Do young and old people us phones in the same way?

That’s very interesting question. From my perspective, the way young and old people use phones can be divergent from each other and I can explain with several evidences. The first of all, young people have already used to use phones for several functions and can understand that the phone is a multi-faceted and it can […]
