Task Response

The report attempts to describe the main trends for each company, but contains several inaccuracies and omissions. For example, the initial profit for Branson Motors is incorrectly stated as 20,000 pounds (it should be 40,000), and Curtis Car Mart's starting figure is given as 40,000 pounds (it should be 20,000). The report also lacks a clear overall summary and does not effectively compare the three companies. Additionally, there are grammatical errors and incomplete sentences that affect clarity. To improve, focus on accurately reporting key data points, providing a clear overview of main trends, and making direct comparisons between the companies. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report lacks a clear overall structure and the message is difficult to follow. The introduction is incomplete, and the body paragraphs are not well-organized. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes incorrect (e.g., 'from entire of trend', 'in between of'). Paragraphing is not effectively managed, and the report ends abruptly. To improve, plan a clear structure with an introduction, an overview, and separate paragraphs for each company or key trends. Use a range of linking words and phrases appropriately to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, with some errors in word choice and form (e.g., 'finacial', 'measaured', 'plummeted of', 'climbed and fluctuated'). There is limited flexibility and the range is narrow. To improve, expand your vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'decline', 'rise', 'fluctuate', 'peak', 'bottom out') and use them accurately. Practice using synonyms and more precise terms to describe changes in data. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that affect clarity (e.g., 'throughout the whole finacial year measaured in thousands of pounds from entire of trend', 'plummeted of around 10,000 pounds', 'showed a steady climbed'). Sentence structures are often incomplete or incorrectly formed. Punctuation is also problematic. To improve, focus on writing complete and grammatically correct sentences. Review basic grammar rules, especially verb tenses, prepositions, and subject-verb agreement. Practice using a variety of sentence structures, such as complex and compound sentences.
