Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the class sizes in the six countries and comparing them with the world average. It identifies the main trends, such as South Korea having the highest numbers and Iceland the lowest. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., South Korea primary at 33 instead of 30, Iceland at 15 and 17 instead of 21 and 23, and the world average reversed). The report also lacks a clear structure, with some comparisons being unclear or incomplete. To improve, ensure data is reported accurately, organize the information more logically (e.g., group countries with similar patterns), and provide clearer comparisons with the world average.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction and an overall summary, but the flow is often disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. The use of 'Firstly' and 'Secondly' provides some organization, but the progression of ideas is not always logical, and the comparison between countries is not consistently clear. To improve, use clearer topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure that each paragraph focuses on a distinct set of comparisons. Additionally, use cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly') to link ideas more smoothly and avoid repetition.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and repetitive, with frequent use of basic terms like 'number of students' and 'increased/decreased'. There are also some inappropriate word choices (e.g., 'glance' instead of 'graph', 'relatively rose up') and a lack of precise academic vocabulary. To improve, expand your range of synonyms for describing trends and comparisons (e.g., 'approximately', 'significantly higher', 'comparable to'), and use more formal, precise language. Avoid informal or vague expressions and ensure that all terms are used accurately. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement issues (e.g., 'it were'), incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'had highest' instead of 'had the highest'), and missing articles. There are also frequent punctuation errors and run-on sentences, which significantly affect clarity. To improve, focus on basic sentence structure, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use correct articles and prepositions. Practice writing shorter, clearer sentences and proofread to eliminate errors. Additionally, vary your sentence structures to include more complex forms, but only when you can do so accurately.
