Overall, what stands out from the graph is that the number of applications from the USA and Japan experienced upward trends, while those from China had a downward trend.

Task Response

The report covers the main trends and makes some comparisons, but there are inaccuracies in the data reported. For example, the numbers for the USA and Japan in 2004 and 2008 are incorrect. Also, the description of the Chinese applicant numbers is not entirely accurate. To improve, ensure that the data cited is accurate and that all key trends are identified.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overview and supporting details. The progression of ideas is logical, and paragraphing is present. To improve coherence, ensure that transitions between sentences and paragraphs are smoother and more explicit. For instance, in the second paragraph, you could add a transition word to connect the two main observations more seamlessly. Also, the final sentence feels a little disconnected from the rest of the report; consider integrating it more effectively or expanding on the Russian applicants' data.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, appropriate for the task. There's effective use of words like 'experienced upward trends,' 'notable point,' and 'gradual growth.' To further enhance the lexical resource, try incorporating more varied synonyms and idiomatic expressions related to trends and comparisons. For example, instead of repeatedly using 'gradual,' consider alternatives like 'incremental,' 'steady,' or 'progressive.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable command of grammar, but there are some inaccuracies that affect clarity. For example, 'As for the applications from the USA, it was around 13,000 in 2004. Following this, those increased steadily at just over 25,000 in 2008.' could be improved for grammatical precision. Also, the report contains some inaccuracies in the data. Proofreading carefully to eliminate these errors will improve the grammatical accuracy score.
