In my opinion, advertising crucially affects people's purchasing decisions. One of the main underlying factors of this development is the rise of social media.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The response addresses the question directly and provides relevant points to support the opinion. The answer could be strengthened by providing a wider range of examples and exploring the nuances of advertising's influence on different demographics or product types. Expanding on the reasoning behind why social media and influencers are effective could also enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent and easy to follow. The ideas are logically connected, and the structure is clear. However, there are a few instances where the flow could be smoother. For example, the transition between the first and second sentences could be improved. To enhance fluency, practice using a wider range of cohesive devices and focusing on smoother transitions between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally effective. Phrases like 'crucially affects' and 'underlying factors' are well-chosen. However, there's room for improvement in using more precise and varied vocabulary. For instance, instead of 'create a global chance,' a more specific phrase could be used. To improve lexical resource, focus on expanding your vocabulary and practicing using more nuanced and precise language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical accuracy is generally good, with only a few minor errors. For example, 'to the straight' should be 'almost'. Also, 'in the internet' should be 'on the internet'. The range of structures is adequate, but there's room for improvement. To enhance grammatical range and accuracy, focus on reviewing and practicing more complex sentence structures and paying close attention to prepositions and articles.
