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., engineered goods figures, textiles figures) and some omissions (e.g., not mentioning the exact values for agricultural products). The overall structure is clear, but the language could be more precise and formal. To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported and avoid vague phrases like 'small fluctuations' without specific details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'in a-period', 'the billion of gems and jewellery'). The overview is present but could be more precise and better integrated. Paragraphing is attempted but could be more skillfully managed to separate ideas more clearly. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic and use cohesive devices more effectively to link sentences and ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some appropriate terms like 'export earnings', 'percentage change', and 'fluctuations'. However, there are instances of imprecise word choices and repetition (e.g., 'billion' used repeatedly, 'the billion of' instead of 'the value of'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and more sophisticated and varied expressions could be used. To improve, use synonyms and more precise terms (e.g., 'revenue', 'figures', 'saw an increase') and avoid informal or incorrect phrases.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentences, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. Examples include 'the billion of gems and jewellery in 2016 made up lower than in 2015' (incorrect structure), 'the billion petroleum products contributed in 2015 were higher' (subject-verb agreement and phrasing), and 'decreased 5.18%' (missing 'by'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences are run-ons or lack proper connectors. To improve, focus on sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and using appropriate prepositions and articles.
