Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the main trends and comparing the three categories. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., women's starting percentage, men's figures, and the final values for men and women), and some descriptions are unclear or contradictory (e.g., 'sharply increased 35% in 2007' and 'gradually decreased 35% to 30%'). The overall trend for children is not clearly presented, and the report lacks a clear structure with a proper overview. To improve, ensure that all data points are accurately reported, use precise language to describe changes, and organize the information logically, perhaps by discussing each category in separate paragraphs with clear trends.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, an overview, and separate paragraphs for each category. However, the flow is disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions between data points. For example, the phrase 'the females who were the highest ate fruits and vegetables' is awkward and the progression of data is not always smooth. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph focuses on a single trend or comparison, with cohesive devices to link ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'increased', 'decreased', 'gradually'), but there is limited range and some imprecise word choices (e.g., 'the percentage of eaten portions', 'sharply increased 35%'). To achieve a higher score, use a wider variety of synonyms and more precise language (e.g., 'rose steadily', 'peaked at', 'experienced a decline'). Avoid repetition and ensure that terms like 'percentage' and 'figure' are used accurately. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that impede clarity. Examples include missing verbs ('Women who ate five portions of fruit and vegetables 23% in 2001'), incorrect prepositions ('decreased 35% to 30%' should be 'decreased from 35% to 30%'), and subject-verb agreement issues. To improve, focus on constructing complete sentences with correct verb forms and prepositions. Practice using a variety of sentence structures, such as complex sentences with subordinate clauses, to demonstrate greater grammatical control.
