Task Response

The report addresses the task and attempts to cover all categories, but there are significant issues with data accuracy and clarity. Many of the percentages cited in the report do not align with the provided visual description (for example, the report mentions 60% for internet use in adults and 30% for newspapers in the 18-35 group, which contradicts the data). Additionally, some comparisons are confusingly phrased, making it difficult to follow the trends. To improve, ensure that the data reported is strictly accurate to the chart and focus on grouping information logically to highlight clear trends and contrasts.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure, but the progression of ideas is often interrupted by awkward phrasing and poor sentence connections. While there is an attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'According to the graph', 'By contrast', 'Meanwhile'), they are not always used correctly or naturally. To improve, focus on using logical transitions that clearly show the relationship between different data points, such as comparing trends rather than just listing them. Ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is somewhat limited and repetitive. There are several instances of imprecise word choices, such as 'searching news in the internet' instead of 'accessing news via the internet' or 'elder people' instead of 'older age groups'. Additionally, some phrasing is unnatural (e.g., 'little use radio compose of 25%'). To improve, work on learning collocations related to data description (e.g., 'accounted for', 'constituted', 'represented') and use a wider variety of synonyms for 'people' and 'age groups'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede the reader's understanding. There are issues with preposition usage (e.g., 'by internet' instead of 'via the internet'), article usage, and sentence structure (e.g., '35-55 with 55 and over age groups who use newspaper show similar proportion'). There is also a lack of control over complex sentence structures. To improve, focus on mastering subject-verb agreement, the correct use of articles, and practicing the construction of complex sentences using relative clauses to combine information more smoothly.
