Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and comparing the main trends. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., bathroom and washing clothes percentages are swapped, and the garden figure is slightly off). To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported and avoid minor lapses in clarity. The structure is logical, and the overall message is clear.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The overall message is easy to follow. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'by 1988 and 2008' which is awkward and could be clearer. Also, the transition 'before increasing almost 28%' is slightly unclear. To improve, ensure that time references are precise and that comparisons are clearly linked. Overall, the paragraphing is well managed, but a few sentences could be rephrased for smoother flow.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary related to data description (e.g., 'represented', 'accounted for', 'experienced a significant decline', 'increasing gradually'). There is some flexibility in word choice, but there are a few inaccuracies and less natural phrases, such as 'transformed from being the smallest stage' (should be 'smallest proportion' or 'lowest share') and 'the washing water use' (should be 'water use for washing clothes'). To improve, aim for more precise and natural collocations, and avoid literal translations. The vocabulary is generally appropriate, but more sophisticated control would elevate the score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. However, there are several errors and awkward phrasings that affect accuracy. For example, 'by 1988 and 2008' should be 'between 1988 and 2008', and 'before increasing almost 28%' is unclear (likely meaning 'increasing by almost 28%' or 'to almost 28%'). Also, 'the washing water use' is not idiomatic. The punctuation is mostly correct, but the sentence 'The washing water use represented 25% at the beginning of the given period. However, it fell slightly to 22% by 2008.' could be combined for better flow. To improve, proofread for preposition and article errors, and ensure that all numerical references are clear and accurate.
