Task Response

The report covers the main features of the pie charts and makes relevant comparisons. There are some minor inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., the difference in residential usage between San Diego and California). To improve, ensure greater accuracy in reporting the data and consider a more structured approach to the comparison, perhaps grouping similar sectors together. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize information, but the flow is disrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. Paragraphing is present but could be improved to better group related ideas. Use cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas within and between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a limited range of vocabulary, with some inaccuracies ('residental' instead of 'residential,' 'using' instead of 'usage'). There is an attempt to use some descriptive language ('huge difference,' 'predictive'), but this could be more precise and varied. Focus on expanding your vocabulary related to data description and comparison.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and incorrect word forms. Sentence structure is often awkward and unclear. For example, 'Overall, the percentages of San Diego and California nearly similar, while worldwide water using significantly different' contains multiple errors. Work on improving your understanding and application of basic grammar rules and sentence construction.
