Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and highlighting the key trends and significant changes across the categories. The data is presented logically, and the comparison between the high-volume categories and the lower-volume categories is well-structured. To improve, ensure better grammatical accuracy in sentence structures (e.g., avoiding 'this were true' or 'were experienced lower patterns') and maintain consistency in how units are expressed.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is organized into logical paragraphs, with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas could be smoother. Some cohesive devices are used, but there are instances where the transitions feel a bit mechanical or slightly awkward (e.g., 'Focusing on the higher borrowing trends first, this were true for...'). To improve, try to use more varied linking words and ensure that the relationship between sentences is logically seamless.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for describing trends (e.g., 'falling noticeably', 'decreased dramatically', 'reduced minimally'). However, there is some repetition and occasional imprecise usage. For example, 'the figure for... accounted for 1113 millions' is slightly unnatural; 'stood at' or 'was' would be more appropriate. Additionally, ensure that units (millions) are used consistently and correctly. Expanding your range of synonyms for 'decrease' and 'change' would enhance the quality of the report. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that affect the flow and clarity of the report. Notable issues include subject-verb agreement ('this were true'), incorrect passive voice usage ('were experienced lower patterns' instead of 'experienced lower patterns'), and preposition errors ('between in 2005'). There are also issues with pluralization (e.g., '93 millions'). To improve, focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that verb tenses and subject-verb agreements are accurate throughout the text.
