Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main features and making comparisons between the two age groups. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed comparisons. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., young people spending 2.5 hours watching TV instead of 3.0, and some values for other activities are slightly off). Additionally, there are minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'genaration' instead of 'generation', 'prefered' instead of 'preferred'). To improve, focus on accurate data representation and proofread for spelling and grammar. The report could also benefit from more precise language and smoother transitions between comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report attempts to structure the information by comparing the two age groups, but the overall flow is disrupted by frequent errors and unclear connections between ideas. Paragraphing is present but not effectively managed, and the use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate. To improve, focus on organizing the report into clear paragraphs, each with a central idea, and use a range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly', 'while') to smoothly connect sentences and ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive, with several spelling errors (e.g., 'genaration' instead of 'generation', 'prefered' instead of 'preferred', 'approximetly' instead of 'approximately'). There is limited range and flexibility, and some word choices are inappropriate or unclear (e.g., 'invest time'). To improve, expand your vocabulary by learning synonyms for common words (e.g., 'spend time' could be 'allocate time', 'devote time') and practice using them accurately. Also, proofread carefully to eliminate spelling mistakes.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'were involved' should be 'who were involved' or 'involved'), subject-verb agreement issues (e.g., 'young genaration spend' should be 'young generation spends'), and missing articles (e.g., 'the US nation' should be 'the US'). Sentence structures are often incomplete or awkward. To improve, review basic grammar rules, such as subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and article usage. Practice writing simple, clear sentences before attempting more complex structures, and consider using a grammar checker to identify and correct errors.
