Task Response

The report covers the main trends and makes relevant comparisons. There are some minor inaccuracies and omissions, such as not specifying the years when Sweden overtook the USA. The language is generally clear, but there are a few awkward phrases and grammatical errors. To improve, focus on providing more precise data and ensuring grammatical accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize information, but the flow could be improved. Transitions between sentences and paragraphs are sometimes abrupt, affecting the overall coherence. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link ideas and ensure a smoother reading experience. For example, in the second paragraph, the shift from discussing the USA and Sweden to Japan feels somewhat disjointed. Try to create clearer connections between these points.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. Some phrases are a bit generic (e.g., 'increased gradually,' 'slight decrease'). Try to incorporate more specific and descriptive language to convey the trends and comparisons more effectively. For instance, instead of 'increased gradually,' you could use terms like 'steadily climbed' or 'experienced a consistent upward trend.' Also, avoid using 'most popular place' when referring to population proportions; 'highest proportion' would be more accurate.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that impact clarity. Errors include incorrect verb tenses ('expected to growth'), subject-verb agreement issues ('older people were most'), and awkward phrasing ('before gradual rose'). Pay close attention to sentence structure and ensure that your grammar is accurate. Proofreading carefully and focusing on correcting these errors will significantly improve the overall quality of your writing.
