Task Response

The report addresses the task, but there are inaccuracies and some irrelevant information. The description of the data contains some misunderstandings of the values. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data and avoid generalizations that are not directly supported by the graph. Also, ensure that all key features are addressed with correct data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but the flow could be improved. The introduction is clear, but the body paragraphs lack a clear structure. Consider grouping information by trends or categories to enhance coherence. For example, discuss the changes in each income bracket separately, or compare and contrast the different income brackets within each year. Use cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas within and between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary, but there are instances of imprecise word choice and awkward phrasing. For example, 'yearly wage' is acceptable, but 'annual income' is more common in this context. 'The data remains relatively stable' is vague; be more specific about what aspects are stable and to what extent. 'Slightly fluctuates' is also awkward; consider using 'fluctuated slightly' or 'showed slight fluctuations.' Expand your vocabulary related to describing trends and changes to enhance the precision and impact of your writing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report exhibits a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Errors include incorrect verb tenses ('gained' instead of 'earned'), subject-verb agreement issues ('catagory have' should be 'category has'), and incorrect use of articles ('a number of housholds' should be 'the number of households'). Pay closer attention to these common errors and proofread carefully to improve grammatical accuracy. Vary your sentence structure to enhance the flow and sophistication of your writing.
