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., glass and paper percentages are misreported, and cans are incorrectly described as declining). The structure is present, but the writing lacks clarity in places and contains grammatical errors that affect readability. To improve, ensure data is reported accurately, use clearer language, and proofread for grammar and punctuation.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report attempts to organize information by material, but the flow is often disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. The overall perspective is mentioned, but the subsequent paragraphs do not clearly follow a logical structure. Use clearer paragraphing, with each paragraph focusing on a specific time period or material, and employ cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly', 'over the period') to link ideas smoothly. Ensure that pronouns and references (e.g., 'it', 'they') are used clearly to avoid confusion.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and repetitive, with frequent misuse of words (e.g., 'percentage' instead of 'percent', 'recovered' instead of 'recycled'). There is some attempt to use synonyms (e.g., 'rise', 'increase', 'decline'), but the range is narrow and not always appropriate. To improve, expand your range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'gradual increase', 'significant drop', 'remained stable') and use precise terms for data description (e.g., 'approximately', 'just over', 'nearly'). Avoid informal or incorrect phrasing and ensure word forms are correct (e.g., 'recycled' as an adjective).

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors that impede understanding, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and missing articles. For example, 'it rise' should be 'it rose', and 'glass the figure' should be 'the figure for glass'. There are also punctuation errors, such as missing spaces after commas. To improve, practice using past tense consistently for describing past data, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use articles (a, an, the) correctly. Vary sentence structures by using complex sentences, but ensure they are grammatically correct. Proofread your work to eliminate basic errors.
