Nowadays, many friendships are ending because of various factors. I can say that relationships are one of the factors affecting the end of a good friendship. When one friend gets a new girlfriend and spends more time with her, it can make the other friend jealous, creating an ego clash between them. This ego can be a reason for ending a good friendship.

Task Response

The answer is relevant to the question and provides a reason why friendships may end. However, expanding on the given reason and providing additional examples would strengthen the response and demonstrate a wider range of understanding. Consider exploring other factors such as geographical distance, changing interests, or personality conflicts.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and mostly fluent. Minor repetition and slightly hesitant phrasing could be improved with more polished delivery and sentence structure. Consider using smoother transitions between ideas.

Lexical Resource

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks range and precision. More sophisticated vocabulary choices would enhance the response. The word 'ego' is used repeatedly and could be replaced with synonyms like 'resentment,' 'conflict,' or 'rivalry' for better lexical variety.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with a few minor errors. While the basic sentence structures are correct, more complex grammatical structures would demonstrate a wider range and improve the overall score. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and article usage.
