Task Response

The report covers the main features of the data, noting the overall population growth and the shifting percentages between Manhattan and the other districts. However, there are some omissions, such as not mentioning specific population figures for all districts in 1800, 1900, and 2000. To improve, include more specific data points and ensure all key information is covered. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents some relevant information, but the organization and flow of ideas could be improved. The connections between sentences and paragraphs are not always clear, making it difficult to follow the overall argument. Consider using more transition words and phrases to guide the reader through the data. For example, you could use phrases like 'In contrast,' 'Similarly,' or 'Furthermore' to show relationships between different pieces of information. Also, ensure each paragraph has a clear focus and that the information within it is logically organized.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary, but there are some instances where the word choice could be more precise. For example, instead of saying 'the biggest population,' you could say 'the largest population.' Also, try to incorporate more specific vocabulary related to population trends, such as 'growth,' 'decline,' or 'shift.' This will make your report more informative and engaging.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, there are issues with subject-verb agreement ('population... consist') and sentence structure ('The biggest population in all five districts we can see in 2000 year which were 8,009,185 people'). Pay close attention to these areas and proofread carefully to avoid similar errors in the future. Also, consider using a wider range of sentence structures to add variety to your writing.
