Task Response

The report effectively covers the main trends and key features of the data, with a clear overall structure and appropriate use of comparative language. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., Facebook and Yahoo starting at 7,500, Google at 1,000) and minor omissions (e.g., missing specific years for some fluctuations). To improve, ensure data points are more precisely reported and avoid minor grammatical errors (e.g., 'reach' instead of 'reached', 'prise' instead of 'price').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall trend statement and a logical progression through the years. However, the cohesion could be improved by using a wider range of linking devices and ensuring smoother transitions between sentences. For example, the phrase 'After, it again rose' could be more effectively linked to the previous sentence. Paragraphing is adequate but could be more skillfully managed to separate the discussion of different companies more distinctly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at variation (e.g., 'upward trend', 'peak', 'fluctuating trend'). However, there are some inaccuracies and less natural choices, such as 'fell constantly' (better: 'declined steadily'), 'unpredictable' (better: 'fluctuated'), and 'plunge' (better: 'plunged'). The range of vocabulary is adequate but could be expanded with more precise and sophisticated terms to describe trends and changes. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and time clauses. However, there are several errors that affect clarity and accuracy, such as subject-verb agreement ('the Yahoo fell'), incorrect tense ('it reach'), and missing articles ('during all period'). Punctuation is generally correct, but some sentences could be structured more effectively. To improve, focus on consistent use of past tense and subject-verb agreement.
