Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by describing the main trends and providing specific data for each category. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some minor lapses in grammar and word choice (e.g., 'used internet' instead of 'used the internet', 'utilize internet' instead of 'utilized the internet', 'e-shopping' instead of 'online shopping'), and a few awkward phrasings (e.g., 'demonstrating a significant portion of using internet'). The data is generally accurate, and the report covers all categories. To improve, focus on grammatical accuracy and use more precise vocabulary.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and a detailed comparison. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and punctuation errors (e.g., 'whereas, watching videos...' and 'this number reach to'). The paragraphing is acceptable but could be more skillfully managed to separate the overview from the detailed analysis more clearly. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph has a single focus.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary related to the task (e.g., 'maintaining contact', 'significant portion', 'rose', 'grew quite sharply'). However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward choices, such as 'utilize internet due to communicate' and 'e-shopping' (which is informal). The phrasing 'demonstrating a significant portion of using internet' is unnatural. To improve, use more precise and natural collocations (e.g., 'used the internet for communication', 'a significant share of internet usage') and avoid informal terms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts a variety of sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Examples include 'the number of people used the internet' (should be 'who used'), 'for several purpose' (should be 'purposes'), 'utilize internet due to communicate' (should be 'used the internet to communicate'), and 'this number reach to' (should be 'reached'). Punctuation is also inconsistent, with missing commas and incorrect use of 'whereas'. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct verb forms, and proper use of articles and prepositions. Proofreading for these issues will enhance accuracy.
