Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and comparing key data between genders and years. The main trends are identified, and comparisons are made. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., women's 'never' in 2011 is stated as 8% instead of 39%, and the 'once a week' figures for women in 2014 are misreported as 10% instead of 2%). Additionally, there are minor spelling and grammatical errors (e.g., 'Autralia', 'incresed', 'amd'). To improve, ensure data accuracy and proofread for language errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall statement and a logical progression from 2011 to 2014. However, there are some minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'there can be seen that' which is awkward and disrupts flow. Additionally, the final sentence about 'once a week' percentages for women is slightly confusing due to a possible data misstatement, but the overall structure is coherent. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea and use more varied cohesive devices to link ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'percentage distribution', 'plummeted', and 'shifted dramatically'. There are some minor inaccuracies and repetitions, e.g., 'percent' is used redundantly in '25% percent', and 'Autralia' is misspelled. The phrase 'there can be seen that' is not natural. To achieve a higher score, aim for more precise and varied word choices, and avoid informal or awkward expressions. Also, ensure correct spelling and use of percentages.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, but there are several errors that affect clarity. For example, 'incresed' is misspelled, 'there can be seen that' is grammatically incorrect, and 'For women there seen that period' is ungrammatical. Additionally, there are issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. To improve, focus on proofreading for spelling and grammar, and practice using a variety of complex structures accurately. The overall meaning is clear, but the errors are noticeable and detract from the overall quality.
