Both of these tastes had a facinating progress on sales.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by identifying general trends, such as the decline of plum jam and the growth of strawberry and raspberry. However, the response relies heavily on subjective and non-academic language (e.g., 'had not many popularity', 'less fame', 'always been loved', 'fascinating progress') rather than objective data reporting. To improve, avoid interpreting the data through the lens of 'customer taste' or 'popularity' and instead focus on describing the numerical trends and specific values provided in the graph. Additionally, the report lacks a clear overview of the main trends and fails to provide specific data points (numbers/millions) to support the descriptions, which is essential for a high score in Task Achievement.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the report is somewhat logical, but the progression of ideas is hindered by imprecise phrasing. While you attempt to group the jam types into categories (declining, increasing, and stable/high), the transitions between these ideas are occasionally abrupt. To improve, focus on using more formal cohesive devices (e.g., 'In terms of...', 'Regarding...', 'Conversely...') and ensure that each paragraph has a clear, singular focus. Avoid using overly conversational transitions like 'On the other hand we have'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is often informal or imprecise for an academic report. Terms such as 'had not many popularity', 'less fame', 'stay afloat', 'loved', and 'fascinating progress' are more suited to creative writing or casual speech than a data analysis task. In Task 1, you should use objective, data-driven language. Instead of 'loved', use 'highly sought after' or 'consistently high demand'; instead of 'fame', use 'market share' or 'sales volume'. Aim to use more precise verbs for trends, such as 'fluctuated', 'surged', 'declined', or 'remained steady'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that impact the clarity of your message. Issues include subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'fluctuations was'), incorrect word forms (e.g., 'not many popularity' instead of 'not much popularity'), and awkward sentence structures (e.g., 'as like a raspberry'). Additionally, the use of quotation marks around the names of the jams is unnecessary in an academic report. Work on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that your tense usage is consistent, especially when describing trends over a specific period in the past.
