The line graph illustrates the proportion of a drug company’s sales, by three significant regions over the five-year period between 2002 and 2006.

Overall, the percent of sales in America was the highest in 2002, while the sales in Asia were the lowest. In addition, America and Europe experienced the same percent in both 2003 and 2006.

In 2002, the figure for Asia was 25%, after which it saw 5% increase per year during the following two years, 2003 and 2004. Following this, the manufacturer sold 37% of drugs to Asia in 2005, and reached 40% in 2006.

Additionally, the sales in America were 41% in 2002, which figure was the largest in the chart. While it declined to 27% in 2004, the amount of sales in Europe went up to 38%, reaching the largest number of sales over the period. By 2006, both figures for America and Europe reached 30%.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data. It incorrectly identifies the chart type as a line graph instead of a bar chart, and the data provided for Asia, America, and Europe does not match the given percentages. Key trends and comparisons are misrepresented, and the report omits the South America region entirely. To improve, ensure the chart type is correctly identified, accurately report the data from the visual, and include all regions mentioned in the task.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction and an overview, but the overall flow is somewhat disjointed. The description of trends jumps between regions and years without a clear logical progression. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'which figure', 'the amount of sales in Europe went up to 38%'). Paragraphing is present but could be more effectively managed to group related information. To improve, focus on creating a clearer narrative by describing the trends for each region in a more organized manner, and use a wider range of linking words and phrases to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but limited and repetitive. There is an over-reliance on basic words like 'sales', 'percent', and 'figure'. The report also misinterprets the visual information (e.g., referring to 'America' instead of 'North America', and 'Europe' instead of 'Europe & Africa'). The phrasing is sometimes awkward (e.g., 'the manufacturer sold 37% of drugs to Asia'). To improve, use a wider range of synonyms for 'sales' (e.g., 'revenue', 'share'), 'percentage' (e.g., 'proportion', 'share'), and 'increase/decrease' (e.g., 'rise', 'fall', 'decline', 'grow'). Ensure accurate terminology from the task is used. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and some complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and inaccuracies. Examples include incorrect article usage ('the percent of sales'), subject-verb agreement issues ('which figure was'), and unclear phrasing ('the amount of sales in Europe went up to 38%'). Punctuation is generally correct but could be improved. To improve, focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures (e.g., passive voice, relative clauses, conditional sentences) with greater accuracy. Proofread carefully to eliminate basic errors.
