Task Response

The report covers the requirements of the task and provides a clear overview of the main trends. You have successfully identified the highest consumer group (women) and the general trajectories for the other categories. To improve, ensure that your data comparisons are more precise; for example, when describing trends, try to use more varied vocabulary to describe fluctuations rather than just 'rise' or 'decrease'. Additionally, ensure grammatical accuracy in sentence structures, particularly when describing trends (e.g., 'it was steadily rise' should be 'it rose steadily').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes interrupted by awkward phrasing and grammatical errors. To improve, ensure that transitions between sentences are smoother. For example, instead of starting a new sentence abruptly, use cohesive devices like 'In terms of...' or 'Conversely...' to link the trends of different groups more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat repetitive and occasionally inaccurate. Phrases like 'more percentage of eating' or 'the figure of eating of' are unnatural in English. You should aim to use more varied and precise academic collocations, such as 'the proportion of people who consumed' or 'the consumption levels of.' Additionally, be careful with word forms, such as using 'gender' (which usually refers to social identity) when 'groups' or 'demographics' might be more appropriate in a statistical context. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical issues that affect the clarity of the report. Errors include subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'it was steadily rise' should be 'it rose steadily'), incorrect article usage (e.g., 'in the 2001'), and awkward sentence constructions. To improve, focus on mastering tense consistency - especially when describing trends over time - and practice using complex sentence structures (such as relative clauses) to combine information more accurately.
