Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends for the top five mobile phone brands, and it makes some comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the data (e.g., Samsung's 2009 sales, Apple's increase, and ZTE's stability), and some statements are unclear or contain errors (e.g., 'population of Nokia', 'from 2005 and 2011'). The report would benefit from more precise data reporting and clearer, more accurate language. Additionally, the introduction incorrectly refers to a 'line graph' instead of a bar chart, which is a minor but notable error. Overall, the main features are covered, but the inaccuracies and language issues prevent a higher score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow of ideas is sometimes disrupted by awkward transitions and unclear referencing (e.g., 'the interim 2009, 2011 and 2013' and 'from 2005 and 2011' which seems to be a typo). The paragraphing could be improved by separating the discussion of different brands more clearly and ensuring each paragraph has a central focus. Use cohesive devices more effectively to link sentences and ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'gradually increased', 'significantly decreased', 'remained stable', 'rose dramatically'), which is appropriate for the task. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'population of Nokia' instead of 'sales of Nokia', 'the figure of LG and ZTE remained more or less stable' (which is acceptable but could be more precise), and 'it increased minor 3 million' which is not idiomatic. To improve, use more precise and natural collocations (e.g., 'a slight increase of 3 million') and avoid literal translations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts to use a variety of sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'there was a dramatically decreased' should be 'there was a dramatic decrease', 'sales was substantially small' should be 'sales were substantially small', and 'meanwhile ZTE sold remained stable' should be 'meanwhile ZTE sales remained stable'. There are also comma splices and run-on sentences (e.g., 'In contrast, population of Nokia considerably changes, there was a dramatically decreased...'). To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of articles, and proper sentence boundaries. Proofreading for these errors will enhance accuracy.
