Your pronunciation is quite good. Working on consistency and tackling difficult sounds may enhance clarity.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a clear timeframe. However, expanding on the impact of social media use at a young age or discussing specific experiences would enhance the response and demonstrate a more developed and nuanced understanding.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and easy to follow. Minor repetition ('like this kind of social media') could be avoided for improved fluency. Consider using more sophisticated linking words to enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. More precise language could be used. For example, instead of 'new apps,' you could say 'popular social media platforms.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few minor errors. The phrase 'after they immediately downloaded' is grammatically incorrect. The sentence structure could be improved for greater complexity and accuracy.
