Overall, it is clear that communication between people will be improved, while other areas are expected to worsen. Notably, quality of air in cities will get worse compared to the other areas of life.

Communication between people is anticipated to improve to 54%, while 46% of this figure is planing to worsen. By comparison, the percentage of quality of food is projected to worsen by nearly a half (51%), and will be improved by 49% in the next 20 years.

Regarding other categories, quality of water and health are projected to show similar patterns. The former will be improved to 40% and got worse to 60%, whilst the latter is anticipated to improve by 42% and will be got worse to 58% of the total.

Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by presenting an overview and describing the main trends in the data. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some minor lapses in language accuracy (e.g., 'planing to worsen', 'will be got worse', 'is anticipated to improved') and a few awkward phrasings that slightly affect clarity. To improve, focus on grammatical precision and use more varied vocabulary to describe trends. Additionally, ensure that the overview clearly highlights the most significant feature, which is done here, but could be more concise. Overall, the response covers the requirements well, with only minor omissions or lapses.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'By comparison', 'Regarding other categories', and 'By contrast' helps the reader follow the progression. However, some transitions are abrupt, and the final sentence could be better integrated. The paragraphing is adequate but could be more skillfully managed to separate the main trends more clearly.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'anticipated', 'projected', 'expectations', and 'distinct areas'. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, e.g., 'planing to worsen' and 'will be got worse'. The lexical range is adequate but not fully flexible, and some expressions are repetitive (e.g., 'improve' and 'worsen' are used repeatedly). To improve, use more varied synonyms and ensure correct word forms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including passive constructions and comparative forms. However, there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity, such as 'planing' (should be 'planning'), 'will be improved' (incorrect passive), 'got worse' (should be 'get worse'), and 'will be got worse' (incorrect). Punctuation is mostly correct, but the errors in verb forms and tense consistency need to be addressed. To improve, focus on accurate use of passive voice and future forms.
