At that time, I used the internet, specifically social media platforms like Facebook, because our admissions were very necessary, and every important source and news was available on social media. That was when I used the internet.

Pronunciation

Your pronunciation is above average. However, you may find complexity in certain words challenging. Regular practice should aid in improvement.

Task Response

The answer is coherent and addresses all parts of the question. Consider expanding on the experience to provide more detail and richer description. Adding a sentence or two about your initial impressions or feelings about using the internet for the first time would enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is understandable but lacks fluency. There's some repetition and self-correction. Improving sentence structure and reducing redundancy would enhance fluency. For example, instead of repeating 'that time,' use more concise phrasing. Try to speak in a more natural and less hesitant manner.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but not highly sophisticated. While the student uses words like 'vividly remembered' and 'necessary,' more precise and varied vocabulary would improve the score. Consider using synonyms and more descriptive language to enrich the answer.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar contains several errors. The sentence 'every important source and every important news are available for social media' is grammatically incorrect. The student also struggles with correct tense usage at times. Focusing on accurate grammar and sentence structure is crucial for improvement. Practice using a wider range of grammatical structures.
