Task Response

The report identifies some main features but includes inaccuracies (e.g., stating Holly Ward received the highest ratings among all categories when Oak Ward had higher ratings for both 'Hospital staff' and 'Quality of treatment'). The description of the data is not always accurate. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data and ensuring that all key features and comparisons are supported by the information in the graph. Also, the last sentence is inaccurate. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a general overview and identifies some key trends. However, the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider structuring the report to compare wards across categories more explicitly or to dedicate paragraphs to each ward, highlighting their performance in each aspect. Transitions between sentences and ideas could also be smoother.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'very good,' try synonyms like 'excellent,' 'outstanding,' or 'highly satisfactory.' Also, aim for more specific language when describing percentages (e.g., 'a significant majority' instead of 'nearly 90%').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. For example, the statement about Holly Ward receiving the highest ratings among all categories is inaccurate. Also, the sentence 'Holly ward represented the best performance in all categories, with nearly 90% of people ranking hospital staff as very good' is awkward and contains inaccurate data. Focus on using a wider range of sentence structures and ensuring grammatical accuracy to enhance the overall quality of your writing.
