Task Response

The report addresses the task by comparing waste types across the two years and includes an overall trend. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., textiles at 17% in 1960, wood at 4%, green waste at 9% in 1960, paper at 15% in 2011, green waste unchanged, wood increasing to 8%) and some omissions (e.g., glass and metal changes). The structure is clear, but the inclusion of incorrect figures detracts from the task achievement. To improve, ensure data accuracy by carefully referencing the visual information, and avoid making unsupported claims about trends.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall statement and a logical progression from general trends to specific details. However, the paragraphing could be improved by separating the two time periods more distinctly. The use of cohesive devices is adequate but could be more varied to enhance flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'accounted for', 'made up', 'represented'). However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'category' used multiple times) and a lack of more sophisticated lexical items. The range could be expanded to include more precise terms for describing changes. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are noticeable grammatical errors (e.g., 'green waste stay the same' should be 'stayed the same', 'Textiles was' should be 'Textiles were'). Punctuation is generally correct, but the errors affect clarity and accuracy. A wider range of structures with more consistent control would improve the score.
