Task Response

The report addresses the main trends of the graph, specifically the rise of internet advertising and the decline of other media. However, the response lacks sufficient detail and data to fully satisfy the requirements of the task. While some figures are mentioned, they are often imprecise or grouped too broadly, which prevents a clear comparison of the specific trajectories of each media type. To improve, ensure that you include more specific data points from the visual description to support your descriptions and aim for a more structured comparison between the categories rather than just stating they increased or decreased.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report lacks a clear organizational structure. While there is an attempt at an overview, the progression of ideas is repetitive and sometimes disjointed. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and some sentences feel fragmented (e.g., 'The most noticable change i was internet.'). To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear purpose: an introduction, a logical overview of main trends, and detailed body paragraphs that group data logically (e.g., grouping increasing trends vs. decreasing trends).

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite basic and repetitive. There are several spelling errors (e.g., 'precentage', 'significally', 'magasines', 'noticable') that detract from the professionalism of the report. Additionally, the phrasing is often imprecise (e.g., 'the position of money spent'). Aim to use a wider range of academic synonyms for 'increase' (e.g., surge, escalate, climb) and 'decrease' (e.g., plummet, decline, dwindle), and ensure correct spelling throughout.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that impact readability. Issues include incorrect word order, missing articles, and improper sentence structures (e.g., 'In 2030 the more money was spent on internet'). Punctuation is also inconsistent, particularly with spacing around commas. To improve, focus on mastering complex sentence structures, such as using subordinate clauses (e.g., 'While internet spending is projected to rise, other media types are expected to decline...') and ensuring subject-verb agreement.
