I think in my country most people follow celebrities and politicians. Regarding the news, I believe political individuals are more popular in the news in Iran than some impressive people. This may be due to the demands of the public; it's a matter of supply and demand. Most people follow political issues, so the news supplies this information by making political figures more famous instead of other individuals.

Task Response

The answer is well-organized and coherent, directly addressing the prompt. Consider expanding on the types of celebrities and providing specific examples to enrich your response. A brief mention of other news subjects, even to contrast with the focus on politics and celebrities, would further enhance the answer.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. There's a slight stumble in the middle where the speaker tries to explain the reason for the focus on political figures. Smoother transitions between ideas would improve fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words and phrases to connect your thoughts.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. The use of 'supply and demand' is a good example of precise language. However, more sophisticated vocabulary could be used to express the ideas more concisely and precisely. Consider using synonyms for frequently used words like 'people' and 'famous'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are some grammatical inaccuracies, particularly in the first sentence ('most of people'). While the overall message is clear, more attention to grammatical accuracy is needed. The sentence structure could be improved for greater clarity and impact. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as passive voice and more complex sentence constructions.
