Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task by comparing the two years and identifying trends. However, there are some inaccuracies in the overview and data presentation. The overview states that desktop computers were a dominant category, but fails to mention that their popularity actually declined, which is a key feature. Additionally, the grouping of data in the final paragraph is slightly confusing, as it lists Smart TVs (50%) and Tablets (45%) as the 'smallest portions' despite them being significantly higher than the 2005 figures for most other devices. To improve, ensure that the overview captures the most significant trends (such as the shift from desktops to mobile devices) and that comparisons are logically structured to highlight the most important changes. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and two body paragraphs. However, the progression is occasionally hindered by awkward phrasing and grammatical errors that disrupt the flow of information. To improve, ensure that transitions between sentences are smoother and that the relationship between different data points is clearly established through more effective cohesive devices.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat repetitive and contains several inaccuracies in word choice (e.g., 'proportion of households of buying of'). There is an attempt to use varied terms like 'dominated' and 'hovered,' but the overall range is limited. Aim to expand your lexical repertoire by using more precise collocations and synonyms for 'show,' 'percentage,' and 'increase/decrease' to avoid repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and sometimes impede communication. There are issues with sentence structure (e.g., 'This considerably higher than...'), subject-verb agreement, and preposition usage. To improve, focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that every sentence has a clear subject and verb. Consistent practice with sentence combining and proofreading for basic errors like missing verbs will be beneficial.
