Task Response

The report addresses the task but contains some inaccuracies and lacks detail. The overview is weak and some of the information is not entirely accurate. For example, the report states that Frankfurt's house prices show a noticeable decrease, but the data shows an increase. Also, the report mentions a significant rise in New York's house prices from -5% to 15%, but the actual increase is only to just over 4%. To improve, ensure that the data is accurately represented and provide more specific details and comparisons between the cities and time periods. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of information could be improved. The introduction is adequate, but the overview is weak and lacks specific details. The body paragraphs contain some relevant information, but the connections between sentences and ideas are not always clear. The conclusion is very brief and doesn't effectively summarize the main points. To improve coherence and cohesion, focus on creating a clearer structure with well-defined paragraphs, using transition words to connect ideas, and providing a more comprehensive overview and conclusion.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a limited range of vocabulary, and there are some instances of imprecise word choice. For example, 'noticiable decrease' and '%5 to 15' are not accurate or natural. To improve lexical resource, try to use a wider range of vocabulary related to the topic of house prices and economic trends. Focus on using more precise and descriptive language to convey the information accurately.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and punctuation mistakes. For example, 'Frankfurth's house prices shows' and 'house price increase in london is highest compare' are grammatically incorrect. The sentence structure is also often awkward and unclear. To improve grammatical range and accuracy, focus on reviewing basic grammar rules, practicing sentence construction, and proofreading carefully for errors. Consider using a grammar checker or seeking feedback from a language tutor to identify and correct mistakes.
