I think it's because as we grow older, our interests and priorities change. We become more individualistic and develop unique preferences. For example, when we're young, we might be friends with someone who enjoys the same things, like playing with toys or watching cartoons. But as we get older, our interests might diverge. One friend might be passionate about sports, while another might be interested in music or art. This natural evolution of interests leads us to connect with different people who share our passions and values. It's a healthy part of growing up and exploring different aspects of ourselves.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

I think it. It’s because of, uh, we are individual. Yes. So we have some different variety of interests. And not everyone has all the same interests here. For example, you can like swimming, dancing, cooking, that kind of stuff. And one of your friends, like only cooking. Yes. From this list, another friend like only swimming. And you talk to different types of people so that, um, you can discuss everything you wish. Because we just so special and I guess it’s just okay.

However, the answer could be more specific and provide more concrete examples. For example, the student could mention how interests change from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. The student could also provide more specific examples of how interests change, such as from playing with toys to playing sports or from watching cartoons to listening to music.

The student uses some cohesive devices, such as "for example" and "because," but could use more to improve the flow of the answer. The student could also try to speak more fluently and avoid unnecessary pauses and fillers.

However, the student could use more specific and sophisticated vocabulary to express their ideas more clearly and effectively. For example, the student could use words like "diverge," "converge," and "evolve" to describe the changes in interests.

For example, the student uses the phrase "we are individual" instead of "we are individuals."
