Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main features and making comparisons between the two years. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., bathroom at 29% in 1988 instead of 25%, garden and washing clothes figures reversed in the description) and a few grammatical errors (e.g., 'loss' instead of 'lost', 'accounted' instead of 'accounted for', 'consume' instead of 'consumption', 'diminish' instead of 'diminution'). To improve, ensure data accuracy and proofread for grammatical precision.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, but there are a few minor lapses in clarity, such as the phrase 'In the following decades' which is imprecise for a 20-year period. The paragraphing is adequate, but could be improved by more clearly separating the discussion of different categories. Overall, the message is easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'dominant', 'dramatic rise', 'steady increase', and 'significant decrease'. There are some minor inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, for example 'accounted 20%' should be 'accounted for 20%', and 'residential water consume' should be 'residential water consumption'. The lexical choices are generally natural, but there is room for more sophisticated and precise language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. However, there are a few minor errors that affect accuracy, such as 'it loss its dominance' (should be 'it lost its dominance') and 'a slight diminish' (should be 'a slight decline' or 'a slight decrease'). Punctuation is generally correct. Overall, the grammar is mostly accurate, but the errors are noticeable and prevent a higher score.
