Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview and some specific details from the bar chart. However, there are inaccuracies in the data reported, and the comparisons could be more clearly articulated. The organization is present but could be improved for clarity. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the data and making direct comparisons between the years for each product. Also, ensure that the overall trends are clearly highlighted in the overview. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report lacks clear organization and logical flow. The 'overall' paragraph attempts to summarize but is vague and contains grammatical errors. The subsequent paragraphs are somewhat disjointed, and the transitions between them are weak. The use of 'Firstly' and 'Secondly' is a basic attempt at structuring, but the content within those sections doesn't always follow a clear pattern. To improve coherence, focus on creating a more structured narrative, using topic sentences to introduce the main point of each paragraph, and employing transition words to connect ideas smoothly. Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a specific aspect of the data and that the information is presented in a logical order.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat limited and contains inaccuracies. For example, using 'presents' instead of 'presented' and referring to 'ordinary goods' is not precise. The phrase 'put out about $2000 on this products' is awkward. To improve lexical resource, try to use a wider range of vocabulary that is more specific and accurate to the context. Focus on learning synonyms and paraphrasing to avoid repetition and enhance the sophistication of your language. Pay attention to the correct usage of words and collocations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity. Examples include incorrect verb forms ('products are presents'), incorrect use of articles ('the most part of household budget spends'), and errors in subject-verb agreement ('smartphones shows'). There are also issues with the accuracy of numbers and percentages. To improve grammatical range and accuracy, focus on mastering basic grammar rules, such as verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, article usage, and sentence structure. Proofread carefully to identify and correct errors. Practice writing regularly and seek feedback to improve your grammar skills.
