Task Response

The report addresses the main trends of the chart, such as the upward trend in Asia and the decline in America. However, the task achievement is limited by several issues. There is a lack of specific data points (percentages) to support the descriptions, which is essential for a high-scoring Task 1 report. Additionally, the overview is somewhat repetitive, and the comparisons could be more effectively integrated. To improve, ensure you include specific figures from the chart to substantiate your claims and focus on using more precise academic vocabulary to describe trends and comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure, but the progression of ideas is often interrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. While you attempt to use cohesive devices like 'On the other hand' and 'In the following years,' they are not always used effectively to link ideas smoothly. To improve, focus on using a variety of linking words to connect sentences logically and ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic. Avoid starting sentences with 'While' in a way that creates fragments; instead, connect the contrasting ideas into a single, complete sentence.

Lexical Resource

There is a limited range of vocabulary, and several words are used incorrectly or misspelled (e.g., 'purchesing', 'Eruope', 'upword', 'presentage', 'throw'). There is also some inappropriate use of personification, such as referring to regions as 'she'. To improve, work on your spelling accuracy and learn the correct collocations for describing trends (e.g., 'showed an upward trend' instead of 'showed an upword trend'). Aim to use more precise academic vocabulary to describe changes, such as 'fluctuated,' 'declined,' or 'increased steadily.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede communication. There are issues with sentence structure (fragments), verb tense consistency, and subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'America dramatically started to falling back'). Punctuation is also inconsistent, particularly with spacing after commas. To improve, practice constructing complex sentences using subordinating conjunctions correctly and ensure that your verb forms (infinitive vs. gerund) are used accurately. Focus on mastering basic sentence structures before attempting more complex ones.
