In 1990, Jakarta had the least population size (8 Million) compared to Shanghai (12 Million) and Sao paulo (16.5 Million).

Task Response

The report identifies some main features and makes some comparisons, but there are inaccuracies in the data reported. The organization is generally clear, but the language could be more precise and sophisticated. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data and using a wider range of vocabulary to describe trends and comparisons. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. The flow of information is somewhat disjointed, and the connections between sentences and paragraphs could be clearer. Consider using more explicit transition words and phrases to guide the reader through the data. For example, you could use phrases like 'In contrast to the forecast...' or 'Similarly...' to improve the logical flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but could be more precise and varied. While the report conveys the main points, using a wider range of vocabulary would enhance the description and make it more engaging. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'population size,' you could use synonyms like 'number of inhabitants' or 'population figures.' Also, the term 'rocket' is not appropriate in describing the population forecast.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. There are issues with verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and article usage. For example, 'The bar diagram mentioned' should be revised for better accuracy. Also, check for correct preposition usage and sentence structure to improve the overall grammatical accuracy.
