Task Response

The report covers the main features of the graph and provides a clear overview. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data interpretation. For instance, the overview states the disease increased until 1970, whereas the data shows a significant rise after 1970. Additionally, the report claims the cases hit zero in 1990, while the visual description indicates the drop to zero occurred in 1995. To improve, ensure that the trends described in the overview more accurately reflect the most significant changes shown in the data, and double-check the specific years associated with the peaks and troughs. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized and easy to follow. The overview provides a clear summary of the main trends, and the body paragraphs follow a chronological order that makes sense. To reach a higher band, try to use more varied cohesive devices to link sentences more fluidly, rather than relying heavily on chronological markers like 'From... to...' or 'Thereafter'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and accurate, with good use of terms like 'stagnant', 'significant rise', and 'drastically'. To improve, you could incorporate more sophisticated synonyms for 'number of cases' (e.g., 'incidence rates', 'the figure for', 'the prevalence of') to avoid repetition throughout the report. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical control is excellent. You have used a variety of structures, including complex sentences and different tense applications, with high accuracy. Punctuation is used correctly to separate clauses. No significant errors were noted.
