Task Response

The report covers the main trends in the graph and makes some relevant comparisons. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., stock prices in 2011). To improve, ensure that the data cited is accurate and precise. Also, consider structuring the report more clearly, perhaps with a more detailed overview and body paragraphs that focus on specific trends or comparisons. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize information, but the flow could be improved. The organization of details sometimes feels disjointed, affecting the overall coherence. Consider using more explicit linking words and phrases to connect ideas between sentences and paragraphs. For example, transitions could be used to signal shifts in focus or to emphasize comparisons. Paragraphing is generally acceptable, but could be more skillfully managed to group related ideas more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary, but there are instances where word choice could be more precise. For example, 'varient' should be 'various'. While the vocabulary is generally appropriate, there's room to enhance the sophistication and naturalness of the language used. Try to incorporate a wider array of synonyms and idiomatic expressions to describe trends and comparisons more vividly. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a fair range of grammatical structures, but there are noticeable errors that impact clarity. For instance, there are issues with subject-verb agreement and sentence structure. While the report generally conveys the intended meaning, improving grammatical accuracy would significantly enhance its overall quality. Focus on proofreading carefully to identify and correct errors in grammar and punctuation.
