Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing the three nutrients across meals. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: for saturated fat, the percentages for lunch and snacks are reversed (lunch 21%, snacks 26% in the visual, but the report states lunch 26% and snacks 21%). Additionally, the report incorrectly states that added sugar is consumed least at breakfast and lunch, but the visual shows dinner has the lowest percentage (23%). Minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'nutritiens', 'breanfast') slightly affect clarity. To improve, ensure data accuracy and proofread for language errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by abrupt transitions and incomplete sentences. For example, the overview sentence is incomplete and the body paragraphs could be better linked. Use cohesive devices more effectively to guide the reader, and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not always precise or varied. There are some awkward phrases such as 'way lower consumption percentage' and 'Largest one is snacks'. Try to use a wider range of vocabulary to describe data (e.g., 'accounted for', 'constituted', 'represented') and avoid informal expressions. Also, ensure correct word forms (e.g., 'nutrients' instead of 'nutritiens').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, missing commas, incorrect verb forms ('was eaten' should be 'is eaten'), and incomplete sentences. The report would benefit from using a wider range of sentence structures and ensuring subject-verb agreement. Proofreading for punctuation and grammar is essential to improve accuracy.
