Task Response

The answer provides several valid reasons for the popularity of social media, but it could be more specific and elaborate on each point. For example, instead of just mentioning 'technology development,' the answer could mention the rise of smartphones and mobile internet access. Additionally, the answer could discuss the social aspects of social media, such as connecting with friends and family, or staying informed about current events.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is generally coherent, but there are some instances of repetition and hesitation. The speaker could improve fluency by using more natural pauses and avoiding unnecessary fillers like 'uh' and 'so.'

Lexical Resource

The answer uses a good range of vocabulary, but some words are used incorrectly or in an awkward way. For example, 'cod development' is not a common phrase, and 'add free fables' is unclear. The speaker could improve their lexical resource by using more precise and idiomatic language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The answer contains some grammatical errors, such as 'it easy for you to access' and 'develop them to your phone.' The speaker could improve their grammatical accuracy by paying attention to subject-verb agreement and preposition usage.
