Task Response

The report covers the main requirements of the task and provides a clear overview of the trends. You have successfully identified the key features and made relevant comparisons between the different categories. To improve, ensure that your overview is more precise; for instance, while most categories declined, Adult Non-Fiction showed a slight increase in the middle of the period. Additionally, be careful with grammatical structures, such as 'despite there was a decline' (which should be 'despite there being a decline' or 'although there was a decline') and 'were stood at' (which should be 'stood at'). Refining these minor errors will help improve the overall flow and accuracy of the report.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes interrupted by awkward phrasing and grammatical errors. The use of cohesive devices is somewhat repetitive or used incorrectly (e.g., 'despite there was a decline'). To improve, focus on using a wider variety of linking words and ensuring that each sentence flows naturally into the next to create a smoother reading experience.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for describing trends (e.g., 'significant decline', 'markedly', 'considerable decline'), but there are several spelling and word choice errors (e.g., 'silight', 'smilar', 'less favourite ones'). Additionally, some phrasing is unnatural, such as 'the figure for the books' or 'were stood at'. Aim to expand your range of academic vocabulary and pay closer attention to word forms and spelling to ensure precision.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There is an attempt to use a variety of structures, including complex sentences, but frequent errors in grammar and punctuation occur. Issues include subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'the figure... were'), incorrect preposition usage (e.g., 'decreased markedly at'), and faulty sentence constructions (e.g., 'despite there was a decline'). To improve, practice using subordinate clauses correctly and review the rules for comparative structures and tense consistency.
