Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the overall upward trend and making some comparisons between countries. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., UK starting at 20% instead of 10%, final values of 85% and 70% for UK and Spain instead of 80% and 57%, and the claim that Spain reached 70% in 2009). Additionally, the report omits key details for several years and countries, and the final paragraph introduces a comparison that is not fully developed. To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported, include more specific figures for each country across the period, and provide a clearer summary of the main trends and notable features.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. For example, the phrase 'in a decade, 1999 onwards' is awkward, and the comparison between countries is not consistently maintained. The paragraphing could be improved by grouping similar trends together and using cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas. Additionally, the final paragraph introduces new data without clear connection to the previous ones, making the report less coherent.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited, with some inaccuracies and informal choices. For instance, 'poly-linear chart' is not standard, 'percentum' is archaic, and 'Europian' is misspelled. The report uses basic terms like 'increasing trend' and 'recorded the highest' without much variety. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary such as 'depicts', 'proportion', 'upward trajectory', and 'consistently outperformed'. Also, avoid informal phrases like 'stood up drastically' and 'amounted for'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that impede clarity. Examples include subject-verb agreement ('all nations show' should be 'all nations show' but 'has' should be 'have'), incorrect verb forms ('stood up' should be 'rose'), and misuse of prepositions ('in a decade' should be 'over a decade'). Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, focus on using a wider range of sentence structures, ensuring subject-verb agreement, and proofreading for common errors. The report would benefit from more complex sentences with accurate grammar.
