Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing the three communication methods. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions in the data, such as the starting values for mobile phones and internet, and the final figure for internet users. Additionally, some phrasing is awkward (e.g., 'people who fixed internet') and could be more precise. To improve, ensure all key data points are accurately reported and use more formal, precise language.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The progression of ideas is generally smooth, and the use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'In contrast', and 'By comparison' helps guide the reader. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt shift in the third paragraph from fixed lines to mobile phones without a clear linking sentence. Additionally, the final paragraph could be better connected to the previous one to enhance the flow. Overall, the structure is effective, but a few transitions could be refined for a more seamless read.

Lexical Resource
