Task Response

7
The report adequately addresses the task, presenting the main trends and making some comparisons. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported, and the description could be more precise. To improve, ensure data accuracy and provide more specific details about the changes over time.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The report is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The overview is clear, and the main features are presented logically. However, transitions between some sentences and paragraphs could be smoother to enhance the flow of information. For example, the transition between the second and third paragraphs could be improved to better connect the ideas.

Lexical Resource

7
The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task. Terms like 'depicts,' 'gradual increase,' and 'domestic units' are used effectively. However, there's room to incorporate more varied and sophisticated vocabulary to describe trends and comparisons more precisely. For instance, instead of 'showed a gradual increase,' consider using phrases like 'experienced a steady climb' or 'witnessed a marked upturn.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

8
The report exhibits a strong command of grammar with very few errors. The sentence structures are varied and generally accurate. A minor adjustment could be made for clarity and precision. For example, in the last paragraph, consider rephrasing 'beginning with 25 million domestic units and ending at less than 35 million' to something more precise like 'starting at 15 million households and rising to 27 million by 2015' to align better with the provided data.
