Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing both the number of international students and the average tuition fees over the given period. It provides an overview and highlights key trends, such as the overall increase in both variables and the highest and lowest points. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., tuition fee increase from 2010 to 2016 is stated as $4000, but it should be $4000; the increase from 2016 to 2020 is $2500, which is correct; the student numbers increase from 80 to 140 is correct, but the increase from 2014 to 2020 is 70, which is correct). The report could be improved by more precise data reporting and avoiding minor phrasing issues like 'whereas and' and 'pupils' instead of 'students'. Overall, the response covers the requirements well with minor lapses.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices such as 'It is clear that', 'Looking at the line chart in more detail', and 'Regarding the remaining' helps guide the reader. However, the overview could be more concise and the paragraphing could be improved by separating the line chart and bar chart data more clearly. Minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'whereas and the number' in the overview, slightly disrupt the flow. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic and use a wider range of linking words and phrases.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, including terms like 'significant surge', 'dramatic rise', and 'grew gradually'. There is some repetition of phrases such as 'the amount of tuition fee' and 'the number of international students', which could be varied for better lexical flexibility. Additionally, the phrase 'the pupils' is less formal and could be replaced with 'students' or 'learners'. To achieve a higher score, aim for more precise and varied vocabulary, and avoid informal or repetitive expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. There are minor errors, such as 'was the highest' (should be 'were the highest' for plural subjects) and 'whereas and the number' (which is awkwardly phrased). Punctuation is generally correct, but there are a few instances where commas could be used more effectively. To improve, pay attention to subject-verb agreement and sentence structure to ensure accuracy throughout.
