Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data. Key points are either irrelevant, inaccurate, or inappropriate, leading to a flawed summary of the information presented in the pie charts. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data, avoid exaggerations, and ensure that comparisons are based on the actual figures provided in the charts. Also, the report contains some language errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report lacks a clear structure and logical flow. The organization of information is confusing, and the connections between sentences and paragraphs are weak. The report needs better paragraphing and transitions to improve coherence. For example, the overall trends should be stated more clearly in the introduction, and each paragraph should focus on a specific aspect of the data with clear transitions between them.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a limited range of vocabulary, with some inaccuracies and inappropriate word choices. The use of phrases like 'nine-folded rise' and 'six-folded almost a tenth' is not accurate or natural. The report would benefit from a wider range of vocabulary related to describing trends and proportions, such as 'increased significantly,' 'decreased slightly,' 'remained constant,' etc. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward sentence structures. These errors significantly impede understanding. For example, the sentence 'The other activities, initially was at 33 per cent, reached more than 40 in percentage-it means that these were mostly spent' is grammatically incorrect and unclear. The report needs careful proofreading and editing to correct these errors and improve grammatical accuracy.
