Well, I see that social media might influence our success or achievement if, and only if, users use it in an effective way. For instance, in my case, I used to follow creative and innovative videos that interest me in order to push myself and improve my skills, whether soft skills or hard skills. For example, if I have a task to complete, like achieving an A2 level in the German language, I managed to follow video creators who talk about that topic to push myself and improve my skills.

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 relies heavily on personal experience rather than providing a broader perspective on how social media influences the perception of success and achievement in general. To improve, try to discuss the topic more generally, providing examples of how social media platforms and content types can shape societal views on success, without focusing solely on your own experiences.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is generally coherent, but there are some instances of repetition and hesitation ('in order to push myself and in order to improve'). While the ideas are connected, the flow could be smoother. Try to vary your sentence structures and use fewer repetitive phrases. Practice speaking more continuously without relying on the same connectors repeatedly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more precise and varied. The phrase 'effective way' is a bit general. Consider using more specific vocabulary related to social media's impact and personal development. For example, instead of 'push myself,' you could say 'motivate myself' or 'inspire myself.' Expand your range of vocabulary related to achievement and success.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are some minor errors and awkward phrasing ('concerns use them,' 'end up, if I for example I need to have'). Focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures and ensuring that your sentences are clear and grammatically correct. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and avoid unnecessary clauses.
