In my opinion, social media plays a really big role in shaping public opinion on scientific issues and just in all issues that the internet may know about. Videos can be easily shared on different topics, such as science, and they may be fake. People may identify these as real facts, make comments, and give their opinions. Personal opinions can easily influence public opinion, and the speed at which fake information spreads can be alarming. I think it's necessary to filter the information that you are watching and scrolling through because it influences our understanding of important issues.

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 directly and provides relevant points regarding the role of social media in shaping public opinion on scientific issues. The answer could be strengthened by providing specific examples or elaborating on the potential consequences of the spread of misinformation. Additionally, exploring the positive aspects of social media in disseminating scientific knowledge could offer a more balanced perspective.

Fluency & Coherence

The response demonstrates some coherence, but there are noticeable hesitations and repetitions ('big big,' 'just just'). The ideas are generally connected, but the flow could be smoother. To improve, practice speaking more continuously and avoid unnecessary repetitions. Try to organize your thoughts more clearly before speaking to maintain a better flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision and variety. Words like 'big' and phrases like 'something that's not real at all' are too general. To enhance your lexical resource, try to use more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to the topic of social media and scientific issues. For example, instead of 'big role,' you could say 'significant impact' or 'substantial influence.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are some errors that affect clarity ('virus videos,' 'people may identify as the real facts'). The sentence structure is relatively simple. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as complex sentences with relative clauses or conditional clauses. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and correct word usage to enhance accuracy.
