Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main trends and making comparisons across the three years. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., rugby 1995 is given as 24% instead of 20%, golf 2005 is stated as 16% instead of 15%) and a few grammatical errors (e.g., 'a upward trend', 'popurlarity', 'remaning'). To improve, ensure data accuracy and proofread for spelling and grammar. The report could also benefit from more precise language and smoother transitions between points.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall trend and a logical progression of ideas. However, there are some minor lapses in coherence, such as the abrupt shift from discussing football, swim, and rugby to snooker, tennis, and golf without a clear linking phrase. Additionally, the use of 'Noticeable' at the start of a sentence is awkward and could be rephrased for better flow. To improve, consider using more cohesive devices like 'In contrast' or 'Similarly' to connect paragraphs and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and includes some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'expressed their interest', 'ranked first in terms of popularity'). However, there are several inaccuracies and awkward choices, such as 'popurlarity' (spelling error), 'insterested' (spelling error), 'loved snooker' (informal), and 'dramatically declined' (should be 'dramatic decline'). The range of vocabulary is somewhat limited, with repeated use of 'increased' and 'decreased'. To improve, work on using more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'rose steadily', 'plummeted', or 'remained stable', and ensure correct spelling and word forms. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and some complex sentences. However, there are several errors that affect clarity, such as 'there was a upward trend' (should be 'an upward'), 'football is' (tense inconsistency with 'was'), 'was gradually increased' (should be 'gradually increased'), and 'remaning stable' (should be 'remained stable'). Punctuation is generally correct, but some sentences are run-on or lack commas for clarity. To improve, focus on maintaining consistent verb tenses (past tense for historical data) and proofreading for subject-verb agreement and article usage.
