Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data. The overall trend is not clearly identified, and the comparisons are often incorrect. For example, the report states that Toronto has the highest landfill disposal, but the data shows Toronto's landfill is 20%, while Kuala Lumpur and Amman have higher percentages. Additionally, the figures for incineration and recycling are misreported. The report also omits key features, such as the high composting percentage in Toronto. To improve, focus on accurately describing the main trends and making relevant comparisons, ensuring that the data is correctly interpreted.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall statement and body paragraphs. However, the flow could be improved by using more cohesive devices to link ideas and data. For instance, the transition from the overall statement to the detailed paragraphs could be smoother. Also, ensure that comparisons are clearly signaled and that the progression of information is logical. Consider using a wider range of linking words and phrases to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'disposed by landfill' instead of 'landfill'). However, there is room for more variety and precision. For example, instead of repeating 'disposed', you could use 'managed', 'treated', or 'processed'. Also, some phrases like 'the highest among others' could be more concise and natural. Aim to use a wider range of synonyms and more sophisticated expressions to demonstrate lexical flexibility. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and comparisons. However, there are a few errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'the highest amount of waste was disposed by landfill in Toronto' could be rephrased as 'landfill was the most common method in Toronto'. Also, 'disposed the lowest amount of rubbish by composting' is awkward; consider 'composting accounted for the smallest proportion in Amman'. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and article usage. Overall, the grammar is mostly accurate, but refining these points would improve precision.
