Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the bar chart and table, and it includes an overall trend. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., '$60 billions' instead of $61B, '$66.5 billions' for engineered goods in 2016, '$45 and $50.18 billions' for gems and jewellery, and incorrect figures for agricultural products and textiles). The report also mislabels the chart as a 'pie chart' and uses imprecise language ('evaluation' instead of 'value', 'proportion change' instead of 'percentage change'). To improve, focus on accurately reporting the key figures from the visual information, avoid introducing incorrect data, and use appropriate terminology. Comparisons between categories and years should be clearer and more consistent.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction, an overview, and a body paragraph, but the flow is disrupted by unclear references and some illogical connections. For example, the phrase 'According to the pie chart' is incorrect as the task refers to a bar chart, and the data presented in the body paragraph does not always match the expected values, causing confusion. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central idea and that transitions between sentences are smooth. Use cohesive devices like 'in contrast', 'similarly', or 'while' more effectively to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but limited and sometimes imprecise. Words like 'evaluation' instead of 'value', 'proportion change' instead of 'percentage change', and 'boomed mildly' (which is contradictory) show a lack of natural and sophisticated control. There is also repetition of phrases like 'stood at' and 'billions'. To improve, expand your range of synonyms (e.g., 'amount', 'figure', 'revenue') and use more precise terms (e.g., 'increased moderately', 'declined slightly'). Avoid informal or mixed expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that affect clarity. Examples include 'the evaluation of 1 country's exports' (use 'one' instead of '1'), 'the proportion change in each category of exports difference' (unclear structure), and 'All the products increased next year, only gems and jewellery went down' (run-on sentence). Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, practice using a wider range of sentence structures (e.g., complex sentences with relative clauses) and proofread for subject-verb agreement, article usage, and correct tense. Focus on writing clear, error-free sentences.
