Actually, the effect and direction of social media for many people, even in recent times, is more important. Some people are not focusing on the future because social media influences the mindset of young people, including children and boys. I think in the future, if we continue to let social media influence people, they may not go to school, focus on business, or help their hometowns. This lack of focus can affect the stability of the city and the government, as well as hinder the creation of new methods for improving the city. What I suggest for Yasser is that social media in recent years has been enough. We should focus more on books, studies, and how to create a better future.

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 touches on the influence of social media on perceptions of current events but could benefit from a more structured and coherent approach. The ideas presented are somewhat general and lack specific examples or detailed explanations. To improve, consider providing clearer arguments and supporting them with relevant evidence or illustrations. Additionally, focusing on the direct impact on understanding current events, rather than broader societal effects, would align the response more closely with the question.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat difficult to follow due to a lack of clear organization and cohesive devices. There are noticeable pauses and hesitations that disrupt the flow of speech. To improve, practice structuring your answers with clear topic sentences and transitions. Use cohesive devices like 'however,' 'therefore,' and 'in addition' to link your ideas together more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and lacks precision. There are instances of word choice that are not entirely appropriate ('mining some people'). To enhance your lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and varied vocabulary related to the topic of social media and its impact. Read articles and listen to discussions on similar topics to expand your vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The response contains numerous grammatical errors that impede understanding. There are issues with sentence structure, verb tense, and article usage. For example, 'contract the even' and 'not focusing for the great future' are grammatically incorrect. To improve, focus on mastering basic grammatical structures and practice using them accurately. Review grammar rules and do exercises to reinforce your understanding.
