Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting the main features of both charts and making relevant comparisons. The overall trend is clearly identified, and key data points are included. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., tablet percentages) and minor grammatical issues that slightly affect clarity. To improve, ensure data accuracy and refine sentence structures for better readability.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and two body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'the only category became more popelar' and 'adults spent longest hours to used it'). The paragraphing is logical, but the second body paragraph could be more clearly linked to the first, and the final sentence is vague. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph has a distinct focus, with smooth transitions between them.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate to the task, such as 'primary devices', 'average weekly hours', and 'figures'. However, there are some inaccuracies and limited flexibility (e.g., 'popelar' instead of 'popular', 'spent longest hours to used it' instead of 'spent the most hours using it'). The range of vocabulary is adequate but not wide, and some phrases are repetitive (e.g., 'had the highest figures' and 'had the longest hours'). To improve, use more precise and varied language, and ensure correct word forms and collocations. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. However, there are several errors that affect clarity, such as 'became more popelar' (spelling and word form), 'spent longest hours to used it' (incorrect verb form and missing article), and 'did not reach over 20%' (awkward phrasing). Punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences are run-ons or lack clarity. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct verb forms after 'spend', and using articles accurately. Also, vary sentence structures to show greater grammatical flexibility.
