Task Response

The report addresses the task and attempts to highlight key trends, such as the high levels in Canberra and the decline in Darwin. However, there are several issues with data accuracy and logical consistency. For example, the report states there was 'no change' in Brisbane, but then provides different figures for 2009 and 2010 in the body paragraphs. Additionally, some descriptions of trends are inaccurate; for instance, describing Darwin's drop from 65% to 25% as a 'gradual decrease' is contradictory to the term 'enormous decline' used earlier. To improve, ensure that all data points mentioned in the overview are consistently supported in the body paragraphs and use more precise vocabulary to describe the magnitude of changes (e.g., 'sharp decline' vs 'gradual decrease'). The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure, but the progression of ideas is somewhat disjointed. The use of cohesive devices like 'To start with' and 'Secondly' is present, but the internal flow within paragraphs is interrupted by abrupt sentences. For example, the sentence 'The most interesting data was showed in Brisbane in 2010. There was no change' feels disconnected from the preceding overview. To improve, try to group data more logically (e.g., grouping cities that increased together versus those that decreased) and use more sophisticated linking words to show relationships between trends rather than just listing them.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is functional but repetitive and occasionally inaccurate. There are issues with word choice, such as 'percent of water rate' and 'depicted around,' which are not natural in this context. The use of 'enormous decline' and 'gradual decrease' shows an attempt at variety, but the descriptions are sometimes imprecise. To improve, focus on learning collocations related to data description (e.g., 'experienced a significant drop,' 'reached a peak,' 'remained relatively stable') and avoid using words like 'depicted' when referring to numerical values. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede the clarity of the message. There are issues with article usage ('the the percentage'), preposition usage ('in reservoirs 6 Australian urban areas'), and verb forms ('was showed' instead of 'was shown'). Additionally, there are several punctuation errors, such as missing spaces after commas and periods, which affects the professional appearance of the report. To improve, practice subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage for describing past data, and ensure that sentence structures are varied and punctuated correctly.
