Task Response

The response addresses the task by describing both shop closures and openings over the period. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the 2015 closure figure is incorrectly stated as 'almost 0 (at least 500)' when it should be around 800, and the 2016 figure is said to be 'the same as previous year' which is not accurate. The overview is partially correct but could be clearer. The report is generally understandable but contains grammatical errors and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'started shops', 'locked stores', 'drammticaly'). To improve, ensure data is accurately reported and use more precise language. The structure is adequate but could be better organized with clearer paragraphing.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the progression of ideas is sometimes unclear due to grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. Cohesive devices are used but often inaccurately (e.g., 'First af all', 'whearas'). Paragraphing is attempted but could be more logical. To improve, focus on clear topic sentences, consistent referencing, and accurate linking words. Ensure each paragraph covers a distinct aspect of the data.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is limited and includes several inaccuracies (e.g., 'markests', 'manufactured places', 'locked stores'). There is some attempt to vary language (e.g., 'reached', 'amounted to', 'hovered'), but errors in word choice and spelling reduce clarity. Expand your range of vocabulary related to trends and data description, and use a dictionary to check spelling and collocations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors in sentence structure, verb tense, subject-verb agreement, and punctuation. These errors often obscure meaning (e.g., 'the line firts increased', 'locked stores drammticaly declined'). While some simple sentences are correct, complex structures are rare and often faulty. Practice constructing accurate simple and compound sentences, and review basic grammar rules, especially past tense and plural forms.
