Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by summarizing the main features of the bar chart and making relevant comparisons. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some areas for improvement. The report could benefit from more precise language and a wider range of vocabulary. Also, check for grammatical errors and improve sentence structure for clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally understandable, but the flow could be improved. The organization of information is somewhat disjointed, making it slightly difficult to follow the comparisons between countries and categories. Consider grouping information more logically, perhaps by discussing each country individually or by comparing the 'have calculators' and 'used calculators' categories across all countries in separate paragraphs. Also, use cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas and sentences.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but could be more varied and precise. There are instances of imprecise word choice (e.g., 'proport' instead of 'percent' or 'percentage,' 'medium data informations'). Using a wider range of vocabulary related to proportions and comparisons would enhance the report. For example, instead of 'lower figures,' consider using 'smaller percentages' or 'reduced proportions.' Also, ensure correct spelling throughout.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Common errors include incorrect pluralization ('caculators' instead of 'calculators'), incorrect verb forms ('student tent to use' should be 'students tend to use'), and misuse of articles and prepositions. Sentence structure is generally simple, and while this aids in basic communication, it limits the expression of more complex relationships between data points. Focus on improving grammatical accuracy and incorporating a wider range of sentence structures to enhance the sophistication of your writing.
