Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview, but it contains several inaccuracies and inconsistencies. The data for Brazil, India, and Bangladesh are incorrectly described (e.g., Brazil's price is said to remain stable, but it actually decreased; India and Bangladesh are said to increase, but they actually decreased). Additionally, the report mentions 'per kilometre' instead of 'per kilo,' and the years are correctly identified as 1993 and 2003, but the overview incorrectly states that Brazil's price remained stable. The report also omits some specific data points and includes minor numerical errors. To improve, ensure that all data is accurately reported and that comparisons are clearly and correctly made. Focus on accurately describing trends and values, and avoid introducing irrelevant or incorrect information.

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 awkward phrasing and unclear referencing (e.g., 'Prices in Japan fell slightly and Brazil's remained stable, whereas China, India saw increases' - the latter part is ambiguous). The paragraphing is adequate, but the second body paragraph could be more logically organized, perhaps grouping countries by trend (increases vs. decreases) to improve coherence. Transitions between sentences could be smoother.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'experienced', 'declined', 'climbed up'). However, there are some inaccuracies and limited range. For example, 'per kilometre' is incorrect (should be 'per kilo'), and 'the least amount in both year' is awkward. The report could benefit from more precise and varied vocabulary to describe trends (e.g., 'remained stable', 'saw a significant increase', 'experienced a slight decline'). Some phrases are repetitive (e.g., 'the price was about...'). Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentences, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward constructions. For example, 'the prices was' (subject-verb agreement), 'both year' (should be 'both years'), and 'which was 23 pounds' (incorrect tense or reference). Punctuation is mostly correct, but there are some missing commas and run-on sentences. The range of structures is limited, and the report would benefit from more varied sentence patterns and more accurate use of tenses.
