Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing categories, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, the figures for 'family responsibilities' and 'personal needs' are misreported, and the trend for 'stress' is described vaguely. The overall structure is clear, but the language errors and imprecise data presentation detract from the clarity. To improve, ensure accurate data representation, use more precise vocabulary, and proofread for grammatical errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing and awkward transitions. For example, 'In terms of mental issues' is vague and not clearly linked to the categories. The paragraphing could be improved by more clearly separating the discussion of each category and using cohesive devices more effectively to guide the reader. Work on making the progression of ideas smoother and ensuring each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use a range of vocabulary, but there are several inaccuracies and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For instance, 'dometics' should be 'dominates', 'repersented' should be 'represented', 'fluctuate phenomonent' is unclear, and 'the last-second place' is not idiomatic. To improve, focus on using precise and natural vocabulary, and proofread for spelling errors. Also, vary the language used to describe trends (e.g., 'rose', 'fell', 'remained stable') and avoid repetitive phrasing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that hinder accuracy. Examples include subject-verb agreement ('the figures of illness repersented' should be 'the figures for illness represented'), incorrect verb forms ('before reached' should be 'before reaching'), and missing articles ('the reasons of illness' should be 'the reasons for illness'). To improve, review grammar rules for tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and the use of articles. Also, ensure that sentences are complete and correctly punctuated.
