The line graph illustrates the amount of market share in each category of mobile applications namely games, education, news, and others during a 5-year period, starting from 2010.

Overall, it can be seen that gaming and educational applications decreased over the period, while news related and other applications market share increased.

To begin with, games were the most popular in 2010, accounting for 45 percent of overall consumption. Then, it saw a slightly decline to 40 percent during 2011-2012 and remained constant. Other types of applications started off at 35 percent, then gradually decreased and remained constant at 30 percent. Until 2012, it dropped dramatically to 10 percent in 2014.

Conversely, news and education applications consumption began at lower percentage, 15% and 5% respectively. However, both of them increased parallel until 2012. Educational applications rose significantly to 20% and keep increasing gradually to 25% in the final year, while news related mobile tools had a gradual increase to 25% percent in 2014.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and making some comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., games declining to 40% instead of 42%, other apps dropping to 10% instead of 15%, education reaching 25% instead of 30%, news reaching 25% instead of 20%). The overall trend description is somewhat misleading: it states that games and education decreased, but education actually increased significantly. The report also lacks a clear overview of the most notable changes, such as the rise of education and the decline of 'other' apps. To improve, ensure data accuracy, provide a clearer summary of key trends, and avoid vague statements like 'increased parallel'.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction and overview. However, the paragraphing could be improved by separating the description of each category more clearly. The use of cohesive devices is adequate, but some transitions are abrupt (e.g., 'Until 2012, it dropped dramatically...'). Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a clear set of features and that comparisons are made more explicitly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'accounting for', 'started off at', 'dropped dramatically'). However, there are some inaccuracies and repetitions (e.g., 'decreased' and 'increased' are used multiple times). To improve, use a wider range of synonyms and more precise terms (e.g., 'experienced a slight decline', 'witnessed a significant rise'). Also, avoid informal phrasing like 'keep increasing gradually'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'it saw a slightly decline' should be 'it saw a slight decline', and 'increased parallel' should be 'increased in parallel'. Additionally, some sentences are unclear (e.g., 'Other types of applications started off at 35 percent, then gradually decreased and remained constant at 30 percent. Until 2012, it dropped dramatically to 10 percent in 2014.'). Work on subject-verb agreement, article usage, and sentence structure to improve accuracy.
