Social media is one type of platform that everyone uses in this generation. People use new types of social media like Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok to connect with each other in daily life. Generally, it fosters a good bond in our human connection. We connect with each other, and we can talk about our sadness, happiness, or anything with our friends and relatives. Basically, we are not in the same place; we are in different places. In this time, we need a connection technique like Facebook and Messenger, where we can talk to each other anytime. So I think it helps us in daily life. I believe it is a good way to maintain human connection on social media platforms.

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 balanced discussion of both the positive and negative impacts of social media on human connection. Providing specific examples and exploring the nuances of 'genuine' connection would strengthen the argument.

Fluency & Coherence

The response demonstrates some coherence, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('in in a daily life,' 'we connect to, we connect on each other in'). The ideas are generally understandable, but the flow could be improved with better connectors and transitions. Try to minimize repetitions and pauses by practicing speaking more smoothly and organizing your thoughts beforehand.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is somewhat limited and basic ('good bond,' 'connect to each other'). There's a lack of precision in word choice. To improve, try to use a wider range of vocabulary related to the topic of social media and human connection. Focus on using more specific and nuanced words to express your ideas more effectively.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The response contains several grammatical errors ('everyone use,' 'different palace,' 'helps to our in daily life'). Sentence structures are simple and repetitive. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in your sentence construction. Practice using complex sentences and pay attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and correct preposition usage.
