The line graph displays the average cost of monthly contract for four various mobile phones in a European country from January to September in 2002.

Overall, four mobile phones consist of Domo, Lex, Sim TX as well as Alpha brands. In the beginning of the month, the payment for Domo phones started at the highest, while Alpha brand showed the cheapest cost compared to other brands. After nine months, Domo and Alpha brands displayed the highest payment, while Sim TX phones only decreased after an increase in June.

Looking at Domo and Lex brands, in January, the monthly payment started at 15 and 12 euros. Then, the cost of Domo phones fluctuated between 16-17 euros over three months, while payment for Lex phones remained between 13-14 euros from March to June after decreasing to ten euro in February. Domo phones reported an upward trend from April to June, from 20 to 25 euros and slowly decreased to 24 euro by the end of the month. Monthly contract for Lex phones showed an upward trend from June to September, costing 18 euro by the end of the month.

Moving on to the Sim TX and Alpha brands, in the first month, payment for both phones started at nine and five euros. After declining to eight euro in February, the monthly cost of Sim TX increased from March to June ( to 14 euro). From June to September, the figures showed a decrease in Sim TX, finally reaching to seven euro in the end. Although payment for Alpha phones fluctuated between 5-7 euros over six months, the monthly contract rose dramatically to 25 euro from June to September.

Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview, but there are notable inaccuracies and confusion in the data description. For example, the costs for Sim TX and Alpha are mixed up: the report states Sim TX started at 9 euros and Alpha at 5 euros, but the data shows the opposite. Additionally, the final values are incorrect (Sim TX is stated to end at 7 euros, but it actually ends at 25 euros, and Alpha is stated to end at 25 euros, but it actually ends at 8 euros). The report also misinterprets the trends, such as saying Sim TX decreased after June when it actually increased sharply. To improve, ensure that the data is accurately reported and that the trends are correctly identified. Focus on clearly separating the two brands and describing their respective changes without confusion.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and two body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing and inaccurate data descriptions (e.g., 'the payment for Domo phones started at the highest' and 'Sim TX phones only decreased after an increase in June' are vague). The use of cohesive devices is basic, and some sentences are awkwardly phrased, making the message harder to follow. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that pronouns and transitional phrases are used accurately to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'fluctuated', 'upward trend', 'decreased', 'rose dramatically'), which is appropriate for the task. However, there are some inaccuracies and repetitions (e.g., 'payment' is used repeatedly, and 'four various mobile phones' is not natural). The phrasing is sometimes imprecise (e.g., 'in the beginning of the month' instead of 'at the beginning of the period'). To achieve a higher score, use more varied and precise vocabulary, and avoid informal or awkward expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of sentence structures, including some complex sentences. However, there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity (e.g., 'the average cost of monthly contract' should be 'the average monthly cost of contracts', 'to 14 euro' should be 'to 14 euros', and 'reaching to seven euro' should be 'reaching seven euros'). Additionally, some sentences are run-ons or lack proper subject-verb agreement. To improve, proofread carefully and ensure that singular/plural forms and prepositions are used correctly.
