Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task by identifying the general trend (lower study hours on weekends) and highlighting key data points for the different universities. It provides a clear comparison between the two charts. However, to improve, the report should aim for better grammatical precision and more varied sentence structures. There are several errors in word choice and phrasing (e.g., 'how much hours', 'stooding', 'were come to') that occasionally hinder the flow. Additionally, ensuring that all comparisons are logically structured and that data is presented with more formal academic phrasing would enhance the overall quality.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure, but the progression of ideas is often interrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. While there is an attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'Regarding to', 'On the other hand'), they are sometimes used incorrectly or do not effectively link the ideas. To improve, focus on using transition words more naturally and ensuring that each sentence flows logically into the next. Avoid starting sentences with lowercase letters and ensure that your paragraphing clearly separates the introduction, overview, and detailed body paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is quite limited and contains several errors in word choice and formation (e.g., 'how much hours', 'studying hours is C university', 'stooding', 'exceptation'). There is a repetitive use of the word 'hours'. To improve, try to use a wider range of synonyms for 'study' (e.g., academic engagement, time spent on coursework) and 'amount' (e.g., quantity, volume, duration). Work on using precise collocations, such as 'the number of hours' instead of 'how much hours'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and significantly impact the readability of the report. There are issues with subject-verb agreement ('The charts depicts'), preposition usage ('spend to studying', 'Regarding to'), and sentence structure (run-on sentences and fragments). There are also errors in comparative structures. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence structures, correct verb tenses, and the proper use of articles and prepositions. Practicing the construction of complex sentences using relative clauses (e.g., 'University C, which recorded the highest number of hours...') will help increase your score.
