Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies in the data, which detracts from its overall effectiveness. Key figures for telephones, computers, and DVD players are incorrect, and the overview is somewhat misleading. To improve, focus on accurately representing the main trends and key data points, and ensure that comparisons are clear and relevant. Additionally, avoid repetition and ensure the report is well-structured with a clear introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and body paragraphs, but the organization is somewhat confusing. The first paragraph appears to be a conclusion, and the second paragraph is an overview, which is not the typical order. Additionally, the final paragraph repeats the first paragraph verbatim, which disrupts the flow and suggests a lack of careful editing. Cohesive devices are used, but sometimes inaccurately (e.g., 'In addition /The remaining features' is unclear). To improve, ensure a logical progression: introduce the graph, provide an overview, then detail specific trends with clear referencing. Avoid repetition and ensure each paragraph has a distinct purpose.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'increased gradually', 'rose sharply', 'decreased', 'increasing steadily'), but there is limited range and some inaccuracies. For instance, 'CD player had the highest figure' is acceptable, but 'this percentage increased 70%' is missing a preposition. Also, 'the percentage of the computer' is awkward; it should be 'the percentage of households with computers'. The report could benefit from more precise and varied language, such as 'witnessed a steady rise', 'experienced a significant surge', or 'remained relatively stable'. Avoid informal or unclear phrases like 'In addition /The remaining features'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates some grammatical range, but there are several errors that affect clarity. For example, 'increased 70%' should be 'increased to 70%', and 'remained stable between stable until 1999' is redundant and incorrect. There are also issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage (e.g., 'a DVD players' should be 'DVD players'). Punctuation is inconsistent, such as the comma after '60%.' and the use of slashes in 'In addition /The remaining features'. To improve, focus on accuracy: use correct prepositions, ensure subject-verb agreement, and proofread for punctuation. Vary sentence structures to include complex sentences, but ensure they are grammatically correct.
