Task Response

The report addresses the task but contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The overall trend for Facebook is incorrectly described as upward and dominant, while the data shows it fluctuated around 5,000-7,500. Yahoo's trend is correctly identified as decreasing, but the specific values are inaccurate. The description of Apple's data is partially correct but includes incorrect figures and omits the final year. Google's data is inaccurately described as stable, and the value given is incorrect. The report lacks a clear overview of the main trends and fails to accurately summarize the data. To improve, focus on accurately describing the main trends and key features, and ensure all data points are correctly reported.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is disrupted by unclear referencing and inconsistent data presentation. The overview mentions Facebook's upward trend, but the data in the body does not support this, and the paragraphing could be improved by grouping similar trends together. Use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph focuses on a distinct aspect to enhance readability.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use a range of vocabulary (e.g., 'upward trend', 'reversed pattern', 'rocketing'), but some word choices are inaccurate or informal (e.g., 'made up' instead of 'accounted for', 'rocketing' is too informal). Additionally, there are spelling errors (e.g., 'beteen' for 'between') and misuse of terms. To improve, use more precise and formal language, and ensure correct spelling and collocations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that affect clarity. For example, 'it's' should be 'its', 'was decreasing' should be 'decreased', and there are issues with subject-verb agreement and tense consistency. The sentence structures are often repetitive and lack complexity. To improve, focus on using a variety of sentence structures, ensure subject-verb agreement, and proofread for punctuation and article usage.
