Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the trends for each social media platform over the three-year period. However, there are significant issues with data accuracy and interpretation. The report frequently uses percentages (e.g., '13%', '1%', '9%'), whereas the task and visual description specify that the values are in millions of users. Additionally, some comparisons are confusing or inaccurate based on the provided data. To improve, ensure that you use the correct units of measurement provided in the prompt and focus on describing the trends (increases or decreases) more clearly rather than just listing rankings.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a chronological structure, which is appropriate for this task. However, the progression of ideas is hindered by significant grammatical issues and awkward phrasing. The transitions between years are present, but the internal cohesion within paragraphs is weak. To improve, focus on using more sophisticated linking words and ensuring that each sentence flows logically into the next. Avoid repetitive sentence structures like 'In [Year], [Subject]...'

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite limited and often used incorrectly. For example, terms like 'amount of application usage percentage' and 'difference number' are not natural English expressions. There is also a lack of variety in describing trends (e.g., increasing, decreasing, fluctuating). To improve, study academic collocations related to data description, such as 'witnessed a decline,' 'remained steady,' or 'reached a peak.' Ensure that you use the correct nouns (e.g., 'platforms' or 'services' instead of just 'applications').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and often impede the reader's understanding. There are significant issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'youtube always on'), tense consistency, and sentence fragments (e.g., 'Then, followed by...'). Many sentences lack a main verb or are structured incorrectly. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence structures (Subject + Verb + Object) and practice using complex sentences with subordinating conjunctions (e.g., 'While YouTube remained the most popular, Facebook saw a slight decline').
