Task Response

The report provides a clear overview and addresses the main trends, such as the decline in professional workers and the general increase in others. The data is generally accurate, though there are minor inaccuracies (e.g., professional workers' peak at 5.6% instead of 5.4%). The structure is logical, but the description is incomplete as it only covers professional workers in detail, omitting the other categories. To improve, ensure all key categories are described and avoid minor data errors. The language is mostly appropriate, though some phrasing could be more precise (e.g., 'change in of jobless employees'). The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and an overview paragraph. However, the body paragraph is limited to only one category (professional workers), which disrupts the logical flow and completeness of the report. To improve coherence, ensure that all categories mentioned in the introduction are discussed in the body, and use cohesive devices to link ideas smoothly between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'jobless employees' for 'unemployed workers', 'undergoing fluctuations'). However, there are a few inaccuracies (e.g., 'change in of' should be 'changes in the number of') and some awkward phrasing (e.g., 'coupled with rising gradually'). To achieve a higher score, aim for more precise and natural word choices, and avoid minor errors that affect clarity.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates some variety in sentence structures, but there are noticeable grammatical errors and punctuation issues. For example, 'which was remain unchanged' should be 'which remained unchanged', and commas are used incorrectly in numbers (e.g., '5,6%' should be '5.6%'). Additionally, the tense usage is inconsistent in places. To improve, focus on accurate verb forms, correct punctuation, and consistent tense usage throughout the report.
