Task Response

This is a well-developed and comprehensive answer that directly addresses the question. The response provides insightful reasons for the fading of friendships over time, focusing on general societal trends rather than personal experiences. Consider exploring the concept of evolving values and priorities as another contributing factor.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is coherent and well-organized. The ideas flow logically. Minor improvements could be made in terms of fluency; the phrasing 'give up all friends' is slightly awkward and could be rephrased for better flow. The slight repetition of 'different' could also be refined.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'visual schedule' are slightly less precise than 'busy schedules' and could be replaced for a more natural expression. The range of vocabulary could be expanded to include more sophisticated synonyms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammar is mostly accurate, with a few minor errors. The sentence 'As time passes it become harder to say in touch' contains grammatical errors ('become' should be 'becomes', 'say' should be 'stay'). While the meaning is clear, improving grammatical accuracy will enhance the overall score. More complex grammatical structures could be incorporated to demonstrate a wider range.
