The bar chart describes at what parcentage wastes were recycled by households in the years 2000, 2005, and 2010.

Generally speaking, as time passes people tends to reuse wastes more. Among the various kinds of wastes , paper was recycled more than any other item.

Regarding to paper, 65 parcent of a population used recycled paper in 2010, which is 20% and 10% higher than pervious years, respectively. Glass was the only item that was closed to the numbers of paper and held at second position. Except glass, other items on the list showed a increment of 10% in every five years.

Looking at the chart, it is evident that, plastic was the least reused product compared to other products . In the year of 2000, only 10% of the total plastic was recycled by the households, which is the lowest parcentage in the chart. Though the number increased by 20% over a period of 10 years, it remained at last position.

Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing the categories. It correctly identifies the overall increase in recycling rates and highlights paper as the highest and plastic as the lowest. However, there are some minor inaccuracies and omissions, such as not mentioning the exact figures for glass and cans in all years, and a slight error in the description of the increase for plastic (it increased by 20 percentage points, not 20%). The language is generally clear, but there are some grammatical and spelling errors (e.g., 'parcentage', 'pervious', 'increment') that slightly affect clarity. To improve, ensure accurate data representation and proofread for language accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and a lack of clear linking between ideas. For example, the transition from the overview to the detailed description could be smoother. Additionally, the final paragraph introduces a new point (plastic being the least reused) without a clear connection to the previous paragraph. To improve, use more cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly') and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 'recycled', 'households', 'increment'), but there are several spelling errors and imprecise word choices that affect clarity. For instance, 'parcentage' should be 'percentage', 'parcent' should be 'percent', and 'pervious' should be 'previous'. Also, 'closed to' should be 'close to', and 'reuse wastes' is less natural than 'recycled waste'. To improve, expand your range of synonyms (e.g., 'proportion', 'figure', 'trend') and proofread for spelling. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts to use a variety of sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors that hinder accuracy. For example, 'people tends' should be 'people tend', 'Regarding to' should be 'Regarding' or 'With regard to', and 'a increment' should be 'an increment'. Also, the phrase 'the year of 2000' is redundant; 'in 2000' is sufficient. To improve, review subject-verb agreement, article usage, and prepositions. Additionally, ensure that comparative structures are used correctly (e.g., 'higher than' instead of 'higher than pervious years' without a clear comparison).
