Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and highlighting key trends and comparisons. The data is presented logically, and the trends (upward movement across all categories) are well-identified. To improve, ensure greater precision in data reporting to match the visual description exactly, and perform a quick check for minor typographical errors (e.g., 'teh', 'owned owned'). The structure is sound and the comparison between categories is well-executed. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, an overview, and a detailed body paragraph. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'In detail', 'However', and 'Moreover' helps the flow of information. To improve, ensure that sentence structures are more varied to avoid a repetitive 'Subject + Verb' pattern, and be careful with comma splices (joining two independent clauses with only a comma), which can disrupt the logical progression.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with good attempts at variety such as 'upward trend', 'stood apart', 'accounted for', and 'rose dramatically'. However, there are some minor errors and repetitive uses (e.g., 'owned owned' and 'teh'). To reach a higher band, aim for more sophisticated synonyms for 'percentage' and 'increase' to avoid repetition, and ensure all spelling is accurate.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are several grammatical inaccuracies that affect the precision of the writing. For example, 'the percentage of household' should be plural ('households'), and there is a comma splice in the sentence beginning with 'However, both of these devices...'. Additionally, the sentence regarding smartphones is a fragment/run-on hybrid. Focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring subject-verb agreement and proper punctuation to improve accuracy.
