Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting the main features of the chart and making relevant comparisons. It provides a clear overview, highlights the highest and lowest values, and compares the countries appropriately. Minor omissions, such as not explicitly stating the units for all data points, are acceptable. To improve, ensure consistent phrasing (e.g., '12%' instead of '12 percentage') and avoid minor grammatical slips like missing spaces after commas. Overall, the response is well-structured and covers the requirements sufficiently. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall structure: introduction, overview, and detailed comparisons. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'According to the chart', and 'In general' helps the reader follow the progression. However, there is a slight redundancy in the final paragraph where the overview is repeated, which could be streamlined. The paragraphing is logical, but the final paragraph could be merged with the overview to avoid repetition.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and mostly accurate, with good use of synonyms like 'level', 'figure', 'percentage', and 'pollution level'. There is some repetition of 'percentage points' and 'lowest/highest', which could be varied. The phrase 'with only 12 percentage' is incorrect; it should be '12 percent' or '12%'. Overall, the range is adequate but not highly sophisticated, and there is room for more precise and varied language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. However, there are a few errors: missing spaces after commas (e.g., 'countries,given' and 'Overall,China'), and the incorrect phrase '12 percentage' instead of '12 percent'. These errors are minor but noticeable. The overall grammar is mostly accurate, but the punctuation and word choice issues prevent it from achieving a higher band.
