Task Response

The report covers the main trends in population growth across the cities, but there are some inaccuracies in the data reported. For example, the population figures for New York and Shanghai in 1970 are incorrect. Also, Bombay's population in 2010 is overstated. To improve, ensure data accuracy and proofread carefully. Also, the final paragraph refers to 2010 but uses some figures from 1990.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report's organization is somewhat clear, but the flow of information could be improved. The 'overall' paragraph is a good start, but the subsequent paragraphs lack clear transitions and logical connections between the data points. Consider using cohesive devices (e.g., 'similarly,' 'in contrast,' 'furthermore') to link ideas and improve the readability. Also, ensure each paragraph focuses on a specific aspect or time period to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and variety. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'increase,' try synonyms like 'growth,' 'rise,' or 'expansion.' Also, be mindful of collocations (e.g., 'dramatic increase' could be phrased more naturally as 'significant increase'). Expanding your range of vocabulary will make the report more engaging and demonstrate a better command of the English language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Common issues include incorrect verb tenses ('shows' instead of 'showed'), subject-verb agreement problems, and awkward phrasing. Pay close attention to sentence structure and ensure that your grammar is accurate. Proofreading carefully before submitting your report can help identify and correct these errors. Focus on using a mix of simple and complex sentences correctly to improve your grammatical range.
