Task Response

The report covers the main trends and provides some data to support the description. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported. For example, the divorce rate for Istanbul in 2013 was 35%, not 27%. Also, the divorce rate for Paris in 2013 was 25%, not 20%. Finally, the divorce rate for London in 2013 was 20%, not 16%. To improve, ensure that the data reported is accurate.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a generally clear overview of the divorce rates in the three cities. However, there are instances where the flow could be improved. For example, the transitions between discussing different cities or time periods could be smoother. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link ideas and ensure a more logical progression of information. Paragraphing is generally adequate, but could be refined to better group related information.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates an adequate range of vocabulary suitable for the task. However, there are opportunities to enhance the lexical resource by using more precise and sophisticated language. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'percentage' or 'rate,' consider synonyms or more descriptive phrases. While the vocabulary is generally accurate, pay attention to using collocations and expressions that are natural and idiomatic. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report exhibits a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are noticeable grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, check subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and ensure accurate use of articles and prepositions. While the overall meaning is usually clear, addressing these grammatical issues will significantly improve the report's accuracy and readability.
