Task Response

The report covers the main trends and key features of the bar graph, but there are some inaccuracies and omissions. The description of the trends for entertainment, history, and art books contains some inaccuracies. To improve, ensure that the descriptions of trends accurately reflect the data presented in the graph. Also, include specific data points to support your descriptions and provide a more comprehensive overview. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a generally coherent overview of the data. However, the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider grouping information by book type or by trend (increasing/decreasing) to enhance clarity. The use of cohesive devices is adequate but could be more varied to avoid repetition.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate. However, there's room to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary to describe trends and sales figures more precisely. For example, instead of 'remained stable,' you could use 'fluctuated slightly' or 'showed minimal variation.' Also, consider using synonyms for 'sales' to avoid repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar, with only minor errors. Pay attention to verb tense consistency and subject-verb agreement. While the sentence structures are generally correct, try incorporating more complex sentence structures to showcase a wider grammatical range. For example, combine shorter sentences or use subordinate clauses to add detail and nuance.
