Task Response

The report effectively identifies the main trends, such as the overall increase for most jam types and the decline for plum, and makes relevant comparisons. The structure is clear, with an overview followed by detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., strawberry sales in 2011 and 2014, cherry's final value) and minor omissions (e.g., specific years for some trends). To improve, ensure data points are reported more precisely and avoid vague phrases like 'around' when exact figures are available. Additionally, the report could benefit from more consistent use of linking words to enhance coherence.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and two body paragraphs. The message is generally easy to follow. However, there are some lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt transition in the second sentence of the overview ('In addition, Strawberry remained the highest...') and the use of 'Meanwhile, It is also noteworthy' which is slightly awkward. The paragraphing is adequate but could be more skillfully managed to separate trends more clearly. To improve, use a wider range of cohesive devices (e.g., 'In contrast', 'Similarly') and ensure each paragraph focuses on a distinct set of comparisons.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with some good choices like 'dramatic increase', 'significant decline', and 'fluctuating'. However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'dramatic increase' used twice) and imprecise phrasing (e.g., 'the trend fluctuating around 2.5 million and ending in 2.5 million' could be more concise). The range of vocabulary is adequate but not wide, and there is room for more sophisticated lexical features, such as using 'soared', 'plummeted', or 'remained relatively stable'. To improve, vary your word choices and use more precise terms to describe trends.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. For example, 'unit sales strawberry' should be 'unit sales of strawberry', 'Plum witnessed a significant decline' should be 'plum sales witnessed a significant decline', and 'the sales of cherry started around 2 million' is awkward. Punctuation is mostly correct, but there are missing commas and run-on sentences. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct prepositions, and ensure each sentence is complete and clear. Using a wider range of grammatical structures, such as passive voice and conditional clauses, would also enhance the report.
