Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and key trends, with a clear comparison between owned and rented accommodation. The data is generally accurate, though there are minor inaccuracies (e.g., 1981 figures, 2001 rented percentage) and some omissions (e.g., 1991 data). The structure is logical, and the overall trend is well described. To improve, ensure precise data reporting and avoid minor spelling errors (e.g., 'give' instead of 'given', 'frquency' instead of 'frequency').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references. The overview is present but could be more precise. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'In between 1939 to 1953' should be 'Between 1939 and 1953'). Paragraphing is attempted but not always logical, as the second body paragraph mixes different time periods without clear progression. To improve, use a wider range of linking words and ensure each paragraph focuses on a clear trend or comparison.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'increased', 'decreased', 'peak', 'growth', 'fall'), but there are frequent errors in word choice and collocation (e.g., 'owned the rented accommodation' should be 'owned and rented accommodation', 'households owning accommodation percentage' is awkward, 'frquency' is misspelled). The range of vocabulary is limited, and there is repetition of 'households' and 'accommodation'. To improve, use more precise and varied terms (e.g., 'proportion', 'residents', 'dwellings') and ensure correct word forms and collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity, including subject-verb agreement issues (e.g., 'households rented accommodation were decreased' should be 'the percentage of households renting accommodation decreased'), incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'seeing a growth' should be 'saw a growth'), and punctuation problems (e.g., missing commas, incorrect use of apostrophes in 'it's' for possessive). The range of sentence structures is limited, with many simple sentences and some fragments. To improve, practice using a variety of complex structures, ensure subject-verb agreement, and proofread for punctuation and spelling errors.
