Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data. Key trends are misrepresented (e.g., agriculture is described as growing, healthcare is described as falling, and retail and agriculture are said to be the same at the end). The report also includes irrelevant or incorrect information, such as stating that manufacturing was the highest in the middle years, which is not clearly supported. To improve, focus on accurately describing the main trends, such as the rise in healthcare and retail, the decline in agriculture, and the peak and decline in manufacturing. Ensure that data points are correctly reported and that comparisons are made clearly and logically.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, an overview, and two body paragraphs, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. For example, the overview mentions that 'retail and agriculture were same in the end,' which is confusing and not clearly supported. Additionally, the second body paragraph mixes information about different sectors without clear signposting, making it harder to follow. To improve, use clear topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure that comparisons are explicitly linked. Also, avoid vague phrases like 'in the middle of the years' and ensure that each sentence logically connects to the next.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'dominant employer,' 'experienced a slight rise,' 'increase rapidly'), but there are several spelling errors and imprecise word choices that detract from clarity. For instance, 'diffrent sectours' should be 'different sectors,' and 'down over year period' is awkward. The phrase 'the numbers were reached to a peak' is not idiomatic; better to say 'the number reached a peak.' To improve, expand your range of synonyms for describing changes (e.g., 'soared,' 'plummeted,' 'remained stable') and ensure correct spelling and collocations. Avoid repetition of 'jobs' and 'million' by using varied expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates some variety in sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect accuracy. For example, 'The line graph illustrate' should be 'The line graph illustrates,' and 'in US' should be 'in the US.' There are also issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'the numbers were reached' should be 'the number reached') and tense consistency. Some sentences are run-ons or lack proper punctuation, such as 'followed by in 2000 it increase rapidly.' To improve, proofread carefully for subject-verb agreement, use past tense consistently for describing past data, and vary sentence structures while ensuring each sentence is grammatically complete. Pay attention to articles and prepositions (e.g., 'in the economy' instead of 'in economy').
