Task Response

The report covers the main features of the data and makes some relevant comparisons. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., Europe's production is stated as 126 kg instead of 57.2 million tonnes, and Asia's production is incorrectly stated as 16 kg in one instance). To improve, ensure all data cited is accurate and pay close attention to units (kg vs. million tonnes). Also, avoid repetition in the overall summary by focusing on the most significant trends and differences.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but the flow could be improved. Transitions between ideas are sometimes abrupt, and the connections between sentences within paragraphs could be clearer. For instance, the shift from discussing Asia's consumption to the USA's consumption is a bit confusing. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas and improve the overall readability.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. Some phrases are a bit repetitive (e.g., "had the highest number of kg"). Try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary to express similar ideas in different ways. For example, instead of repeatedly using "had the highest," you could use "dominated," "led," or "recorded the highest." Also, ensure that the vocabulary used is accurate and fits the context appropriately. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and inaccuracies that affect clarity. For example, there are issues with subject-verb agreement ("In term of consumption" should be "In terms of consumption"), article usage, and sentence structure. Additionally, there are inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., Europe's production is stated as 126 kg, while the visual data indicates 57.2 million tonnes). Focus on improving grammatical accuracy and ensuring that the data presented is correct. Review basic grammar rules and proofread carefully to catch errors.
