Task Response

The report addresses the task by presenting the main trends and making comparisons between genders and age groups. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., '15-29' instead of '18-29', '56%' instead of '54%', '24%' instead of '22%') and some spelling/grammatical errors that affect clarity. To improve, ensure accurate data representation and proofread for spelling and grammar. Additionally, consider structuring the report more clearly with an overview and logically grouped details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is disrupted by frequent spelling errors and some awkward phrasing. The use of cohesive devices is basic, and the progression of ideas could be smoother. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and use a range of linking words and referencing to connect ideas more naturally.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing data (e.g., 'proportions', 'accounting for', 'recorded'). However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'belive', 'comapred', 'precentages', 'comprimised') and some imprecise word choices (e.g., 'look' instead of 'appearance', 'man' instead of 'men'). To improve, expand your range of synonyms and ensure accurate spelling and word forms. Use more precise terms like 'the proportion of men' and 'the age group of 18-29'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts to use a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences. However, there are numerous grammatical errors, such as subject-verb agreement ('look is' should be 'looks are'), incorrect plural forms ('man' should be 'men'), and inconsistent tense usage. Punctuation is mostly correct but some sentences are run-ons. To improve, review basic grammar rules, especially subject-verb agreement and pluralization, and proofread to eliminate errors.
