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., China's 2012 value, Korea's 2014 value, Vietnam's starting value, and Japan's 2014 value) and some omissions (e.g., Thailand's specific values and trends). The structure is clear, but the language contains errors and informal phrasing (e.g., 'Regarding to incresing categories', 'this figure was stable', 'ranking only behind China'). To improve, ensure data accuracy, provide specific figures for all countries, and use more precise academic vocabulary.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Regarding to increasing categories', and 'Concerning the remaining nations' helps guide the reader. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt transition in the final sentence about Thailand, which could be more fully developed. The paragraphing is logical, but the second body paragraph could be more clearly separated from the first to enhance readability.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'illustrates', 'surging', 'dominant', and 'fluctuated'. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'Regarding to incresing categories' (should be 'Regarding the increasing categories') and 'the amount of Australia trading link' (should be 'the value of Australia's trading links'). The range of vocabulary is adequate but not fully flexible, and some terms are repetitive (e.g., 'amount' used multiple times). To improve, use more precise and varied expressions, and ensure correct collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative and superlative forms, and some complex sentences. However, there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'Data is dollar millions' should be 'Data is in A$ millions', 'Regarding to incresing categories' should be 'Regarding the increasing categories', and 'this figure was stable in 2013 before growing slightly' is correct but 'remained stably' should be 'remained stable'. Additionally, the final sentence about Thailand is incomplete and lacks detail. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of prepositions, and ensuring all sentences are fully developed.
