A bar chart illustrates 7 countries from years 1975, 2020 and 2050 about the population percentages in regions and urban places around the world.

Overall, during the years, there has been a constant rise of individuals apart from Oceania which remains constant. At the latest year, the countries Europe, Latin and North America have the highest percentages of urban area population.

From the year 1975, Asia and Africa are seen to have the lowest precentages raging around 20 to 30 percent. During the next two years, those two countries have shown significant growth in percentages to around 60 percent for Africa and almost 70 for Asia. The same can be said for the world, although it starts with higher percentages – around 37 percent to it almost being 70. Compared to Africa and Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America have almost double the percentages of urban population – from around 61 percent for Europe and Latin America and a little more than 70% for North America to 80 to 90 percent. Oceania remains constant – 70 percent, with a slight drop in 2020.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains several inaccuracies regarding the nature of the data. The prompt describes regions, but the report frequently refers to them as 'countries,' which is a significant conceptual error. Additionally, the overview contains a factual inaccuracy by stating Oceania remains constant, whereas the data shows fluctuations. While the report identifies general trends and makes some comparisons, the grouping of data and the description of time intervals (referring to 2020 as 'the next two years' after 1975) are confusing. To improve, ensure that the distinction between regions and countries is maintained and that the temporal relationships between the years are described accurately.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure, but the progression of ideas is sometimes interrupted by imprecise phrasing. While there is an attempt to group data, the transitions between comparing different regions are somewhat abrupt. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and use a wider variety of cohesive devices (e.g., 'In contrast,' 'Similarly,' 'Regarding...') to link observations more smoothly. Additionally, be careful with the logical flow when moving from historical data to projections.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is somewhat limited and repetitive. There are several instances of imprecise word choices, such as referring to 'countries' when the data actually refers to 'regions' or 'continents.' Additionally, using 'the next two years' to describe the period between 1975 and 2020 is inaccurate, as it implies a duration of two years rather than decades. To improve, aim to use more precise terminology (e.g., 'projections,' 'regions,' 'urbanization rates') and vary your synonyms for 'increase' and 'percentage'. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward constructions that occasionally hinder clarity. For example, the phrase 'from around 37 percent to it almost being 70' is grammatically incorrect. There are also issues with subject-verb agreement and preposition usage. To improve, focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensure that your comparisons are grammatically sound (e.g., 'increased from X to Y' instead of 'from X to it being Y'). Practicing the use of relative clauses can help in creating more sophisticated and accurate sentences.
