As far as I'm concerned, there are many side effects that watching television can have on children. To start with, there is near-sightedness or obesity. Nowadays, people are so engrossed in their digital gadgets that they forget about reality. Of course, there are some withdrawal symptoms as well. People become so connected to them that sometimes they can't manage to concentrate on other important things. It can also have an effect on the physique of a child, their sight, and maybe even their education.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is very good. Aim to refine subtleties and intonation to further improve.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and touches upon several effects of watching television on children. However, the response lacks depth and specific examples. Consider expanding on each point with more detail and specific examples to illustrate the effects more clearly. A more structured approach, perhaps outlining each effect separately with supporting details, would improve the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent, but the fluency could be improved. There are a few instances of repetition and self-correction. Try to plan your response beforehand to improve the flow and reduce hesitations. For example, instead of 'To start with the near sightseeing or obesity', a more concise and natural phrasing would be 'One effect is nearsightedness or obesity'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. While the answer conveys the message, using more precise and varied vocabulary would enhance the response. For example, instead of 'side effects', consider using 'negative impacts' or 'adverse consequences'. The phrase 'withdrawal symptoms' is not quite accurate in this context; perhaps 'addiction' or 'dependence' would be more appropriate.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies. The sentence 'Of course, there are some withdrawal symptoms as well. People become so connected to them that sometimes they can't manage to concentrate on other important things' is a bit clumsy. The use of 'them' is ambiguous. Also, the final sentence is grammatically incomplete. Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring accuracy in sentence construction.
