Task Response

The report covers the main features of the data and provides an overview with some clear comparisons. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., housing did not increase to 35%). Also, the final sentence contains an inaccuracy (clothing decreased to 10%, not 5%). To improve, ensure all data cited is accurate and proofread carefully. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but the flow could be improved. The introduction is acceptable, but the overview could be more concise and focused on the most significant trends. The body paragraphs present data, but the transitions between them are not always smooth. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link ideas and improve the overall coherence. For example, use transition words to clearly signal comparisons, contrasts, and additions.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary, but there are instances where the word choice could be more precise. For example, using 'percentage points' is accurate, but the vocabulary could be more varied to describe the changes. Try to incorporate a wider range of synonyms and more specific vocabulary related to trends and proportions to enhance the lexical resource. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a fair range of grammatical structures, but there are noticeable errors that affect clarity. For example, there are issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. While the overall meaning is generally clear, improving grammatical accuracy would significantly enhance the report's quality. Proofread carefully to identify and correct grammatical errors.
