Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by comparing the data for both years and identifying the highest and lowest figures. However, there are several issues that impact the overall achievement of the task. There are inaccuracies in the data presentation (for example, stating London's figure was 1,638 million rather than just 1,638 houses) and some generalizations, such as claiming proportions doubled or tripled in every city, are not supported by the data. To improve, focus on ensuring mathematical accuracy, using more precise vocabulary for trends (e.g., 'increased' instead of 'rose solding'), and ensuring that comparisons between cities are logically structured. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and word forms to improve clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of ideas is somewhat logical, but the progression is frequently interrupted by awkward phrasing and grammatical errors. While you attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Moreover', 'It can be observed that', 'whereas'), they are often used incorrectly or do not help the flow of the text. To improve, focus on using transition words to link ideas smoothly and ensure that each paragraph has a clear, singular purpose. Avoid repetitive sentence structures and ensure that your comparisons are logically connected.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is limited and often inaccurate. There are several instances of incorrect word forms, such as 'solding houses' instead of 'houses sold' or 'house sales', and 'rose solding houses' which is not a standard English expression. Additionally, words like 'absorbed' or 'dripped' are used inappropriately in this context. To improve, work on learning collocations related to data description (e.g., 'experienced an increase', 'witnessed a rise', 'stood at') and ensure you are using the correct parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and significantly impede the reader's ability to understand the report. There are issues with sentence structure (fragmented sentences), subject-verb agreement, and preposition usage (e.g., 'compared 2009' instead of 'compared to 2009'). There are also errors in how numbers and units are presented. To improve, practice constructing complex sentences using relative clauses (e.g., 'London, which had the highest number...') and focus on mastering basic tense consistency and prepositional accuracy.
