Task Response

The report covers the requirements of the task, providing a reasonable overview of the data and making some comparisons. There are a few minor inaccuracies (e.g., stating that the percentage of students who speak two languages went 'up' when it actually decreased slightly). To improve, ensure complete accuracy in data reporting and refine the overall structure for even clearer communication.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but the flow could be improved. The progression of ideas sometimes feels disjointed, and the connections between sentences and paragraphs could be strengthened to enhance coherence. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to guide the reader through the data and highlight the relationships between different categories and time periods. For example, transition words like 'similarly,' 'in contrast,' or 'furthermore' could be used more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary that is generally appropriate for the task, but there are instances where the word choice could be more precise or natural. For example, phrases like 'fraction of only english users decreased remarkably' could be rephrased for greater clarity and impact. To improve, focus on expanding your vocabulary related to describing data and trends, and pay attention to the nuances of word choice to ensure accuracy and fluency. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a number of grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity and readability. While the overall meaning is generally understandable, the frequency of errors distracts from the content. Focus on improving your understanding and application of basic grammar rules, such as subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and accurate use of articles and prepositions. Reviewing and editing your work carefully can help identify and correct these errors.
