Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains several inaccuracies and omissions. It misidentifies the highest and lowest categories in both years (e.g., stating paper was the vast majority in 1960, when it was 25%, and food was highest in 2011, when paper and plastic were tied at 18%). It also incorrectly claims that green waste and glass did not change, when both changed. The report omits key data and comparisons, and the conclusion is inaccurate. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the main features, making clear comparisons, and ensuring all statements are supported by the data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, body, and conclusion, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing and awkward phrasing. For example, 'the waste disposal divide to 9 types' and 'the least percentage in 1960 was wood' are unclear. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and some sentences are repetitive. To improve, use clearer topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main idea. Also, use a range of linking words and phrases to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited in range and precision. There are some inappropriate word choices, such as 'pie graphics' instead of 'pie charts', 'waste disposal' used interchangeably with 'waste types', and 'the used of plastic' instead of 'the use of plastic'. The report would benefit from a wider range of vocabulary to describe trends and comparisons, such as 'accounted for', 'comprised', 'increased significantly', 'remained stable', etc. Also, avoid informal language like 'As you can see' in academic writing. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity, including subject-verb agreement ('The waste disposal divide'), incorrect verb forms ('the used of plastic'), and missing articles ('the least percentage in 1960 was wood'). There are also issues with sentence structure, such as run-on sentences and incomplete comparisons. To improve, focus on using a variety of sentence structures accurately, and proofread for common errors. Practice using past tense consistently when describing data from past years.
