Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview, but there are several inaccuracies and unclear expressions. The overall trend is identified, but the data for agriculture in 1950 and 2000, and manufacturing in 1975 and 2000, are incorrect. The final sentence about business and financial services is confusing and contains an error. To improve, ensure data accuracy, use clearer comparisons, and proofread for grammatical issues.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing (e.g., 'the it slightly rose') and awkward phrasing that makes the message harder to follow. The paragraphing is adequate but could be improved by grouping information more logically, such as discussing each sector in a separate paragraph with clearer comparisons. To enhance coherence, use a range of cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'while', 'whereas') and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'dramatic decrease', 'gradually increased', 'further rose'), but the range is limited and there are instances of imprecise or awkward word choices (e.g., 'the contribution manufacturing', '19 smaller then'). To improve, expand your lexical range by using synonyms and more precise terms (e.g., 'accounted for', 'constituted', 'experienced a significant decline'). Also, ensure that comparisons are expressed clearly and accurately, using phrases like 'compared to' or 'in contrast with'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'the it slightly rose' is incorrect, and 'which was 19 smaller then the proportion of 2000' has both a missing word and a wrong comparative form. There are also issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'the proportion of business and financial services were the lowest'). To improve, focus on using a wider range of sentence structures, ensuring subject-verb agreement, and proofreading for errors. Practice using comparative forms correctly and avoid run-on or fragmented sentences.
