Task Response

The report attempts to describe the main trends in foreign direct investment in India and China. However, there are significant inaccuracies in the data reported, and the use of percentages instead of the actual values (billions of dollars) makes the information misleading and difficult to interpret. The organization is somewhat clear, but the inaccuracies detract from the overall task achievement. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data provided in the chart and using the correct units of measurement. Also, ensure that the key trends and comparisons are clearly supported by the data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report lacks clear organization and logical flow. The overall summary is vague, and the transitions between years are abrupt. The use of 'moreover' and 'in contrast' doesn't always create a smooth connection between sentences. Paragraphing could be improved to group related information and enhance readability.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and repetitive. The report relies heavily on phrases like 'more than' and 'at about,' which could be varied for greater impact. There are also inaccuracies in the use of 'percentage' when referring to dollar amounts.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses ('rised'), subject-verb agreement issues ('China was more than India'), and awkward phrasing ('accounted the least percentage'). These errors significantly impede understanding. The use of punctuation is also inconsistent.
