Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by comparing data across cities and years, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The report incorrectly states that the chart compares five cities, while the task mentions eight. The data is misinterpreted as dollar amounts (e.g., '1638 million dollars') instead of the number of homes sold. Some figures are misstated (e.g., Dubai's 2014 value is given as 'around a half million dollars' instead of 46). The report also omits Miami and Los Angeles data in the overview. To improve, ensure all cities are covered, use correct units (number of homes), and verify data accuracy. Comparisons between cities and trends should be clearer and more precise.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview paragraph, and a detailed paragraph. However, the cohesion could be improved. The overview mentions 'most of the cities home sales increased steadily' but the report then discusses only five cities, not all eight, which creates a slight inconsistency. The use of linking words and phrases is adequate but sometimes repetitive (e.g., 'stood at', 'accounted for'). Paragraphing is managed but could be more skillfully handled to separate different trends or groups of cities.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate for the task, but there are some inaccuracies and limitations. For example, 'homes each worth 5 million dollars' is slightly awkward, and 'the number of home sales in London accounted for the largest number' is repetitive. The report also misinterprets the data as dollar amounts ('1638 million dollars') instead of the number of homes. There is some attempt at variation (e.g., 'marginally increased', 'stood at'), but the range is limited and not always precise. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary related to trends and comparisons.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For instance, 'the number of home sales in London accounted for the largest number' is redundant, and 'Reagarding Dubai' is a spelling error. There are issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage (e.g., 'the figure for Singapore decreased', 'Los Angeles represented at'). The sentence structures are mostly simple, with limited use of complex constructions. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures accurately and proofreading for errors.
