Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and making some comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies and omissions in the data, and some descriptions are vague or incorrect. For example, the initial figures for maintenance and administration are misstated, and the trend for security is described as 'the same' when it actually fluctuated slightly. The report also contains numerous spelling and grammatical errors that affect clarity. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the data, using precise language, and ensuring the report is well-organized and error-free.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and an overview, but the body paragraph lacks clear organization and logical progression. The description of trends is somewhat confusing, and the use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'Delving deeper into the bar charts' is not well connected to the preceding paragraph). The final sentence is incomplete and disrupts the flow. To improve, organize the body by grouping similar trends (e.g., increasing, fluctuating, stable) and use a range of linking words and referencing to create a smoother, more coherent narrative.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 'illustrates', 'increasing', 'fluctuate', 'substantially'), but there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'disributed', 'flactuate', 'cleanig', 'maintenace', 'adminastration', 'substantialy', 'fluactuation') and some awkward word choices (e.g., 'the figure of non-medical staff', 'the some fluactuation'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and there is repetition of 'the number of' and 'about'. To improve, expand your lexical range with synonyms and precise terms (e.g., 'experienced a rise', 'remained stable', 'saw a decline'), and ensure correct spelling and word forms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and punctuation issues that impede clarity. There are subject-verb agreement errors (e.g., 'staff were increasing' should be 'staff increased'), incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'was a decrease' should be 'decreased'), and incomplete sentences (e.g., 'the number of security staff was the same 15-year period'). Punctuation is often missing or misused (e.g., missing commas, run-on sentences). To improve, focus on using a variety of sentence structures accurately, proofread for subject-verb agreement and verb tense consistency, and ensure each sentence is complete and correctly punctuated.
