Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and detailed comparisons of the data. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., years mentioned as 1997-2003 instead of 1993-2003, and some price values are slightly off). Additionally, the report omits one country (likely Turkey) and misstates the trend for Bangladesh (prices actually fell, not doubled). To improve, ensure the time period and all data points are accurately reported, and avoid making unsupported claims about trends.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall trend in the introduction and logical grouping of countries. The use of cohesive devices is effective, and paragraphing is appropriate. To achieve a perfect score, ensure that the data is presented in a way that is easy to follow without any minor lapses in clarity, such as the slight confusion in the first sentence regarding the time period.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally appropriate and varied, with good use of terms like 'illustrates', 'suppliers', 'remained', and 'significant increase'. However, there is room for more sophisticated and precise language, such as using 'average price' instead of 'amount of price' and 'imported' instead of 'who imported'. Additionally, the phrase 'form 1997 to 2003' should be corrected to 'from 1997 to 2003'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures with mostly accurate usage. There are a few minor errors, such as 'who imported' instead of 'imported' and 'form' instead of 'from'. The phrasing 'the amount of price per kilo' is awkward and should be revised to 'the average price per kilo'. Overall, the grammar is controlled, but these small issues prevent a higher score.
