Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task, providing a general overview of the trends in the data. The key features are identified, and there are some comparisons made between different time periods and age groups. However, the report could benefit from more specific data references to support the observations. Additionally, the language used contains some inaccuracies and awkward phrasing, which occasionally obscures the meaning. To improve, focus on using more precise language and providing more detailed data points to strengthen the analysis.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates some organization, but the progression of ideas is not always clear. Paragraphing is present but could be improved to better group related information. Transitions between sentences and paragraphs are sometimes abrupt, hindering the overall flow. For example, the shift from the overall trend to the specifics of each time period could be smoother. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas and improve the logical flow of information.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a limited range of vocabulary, with some inaccuracies in word choice ('fluctuate was grown,' 'accounted for the largest portion'). There is an attempt to use more descriptive language, but the execution is not always successful. To improve, focus on expanding your vocabulary related to describing trends and data, and ensure that you understand the correct usage of each word. Pay attention to collocations and idiomatic expressions to make your writing sound more natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses ('tend to increased,' 'beginned'), subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward sentence structures. Punctuation is also inconsistent. These errors significantly impact the clarity and accuracy of the report. To improve, focus on mastering basic grammar rules and sentence structures. Practice writing simple sentences and gradually incorporate more complex structures as your accuracy improves. Proofread carefully for errors in grammar and punctuation.
