For me, I think news on social networks is updated very quickly. I remember last year, I witnessed a traffic accident on the road. When I got home, I saw it online and was really surprised at how quickly it was updated. I think that sometimes news on social media like Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram is not really true. It's basically about famous people. Sometimes when they make mistakes, they often experience cyber violence.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides some insights into the speed and potential unreliability of social media news. However, it focuses heavily on personal experience and lacks a broader, more general discussion of the topic. Consider exploring different aspects of social media news, such as its impact on public opinion, the role of algorithms, or the spread of misinformation, to provide a more comprehensive response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-structured. The speed of information dissemination is clearly explained with a relevant example. Minor repetition could be avoided for a higher score. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The use of terms like "cyber violence" demonstrates a good range. More precise vocabulary could be used to describe the unreliability of social media news (e.g., 'misinformation,' 'unverified reports').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate with only minor inconsistencies. The tense usage is mostly consistent. Improving the grammatical accuracy in complex sentences would elevate the score. For example, the sentence 'It's basically about famous people' could be improved for greater precision and grammatical range.
