Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but struggles to present the data accurately and coherently. There are significant issues with data reporting; for example, the figures provided for women in 2013 and the trends between 2014 and 2019 do not align with the visual description provided. Additionally, the use of terminology is often inappropriate (e.g., using 'ratio' or 'proportion' when referring to absolute numbers of people, and 'cigares' instead of 'smokers'). To improve, focus on accurately extracting the numbers from the chart, ensuring that the trends described match the data, and using precise vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'decreased', 'remained stable', 'fluctuated') rather than imprecise phrases like 'witnessed by' or 'covered in'.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the report is somewhat logical, but the progression of ideas is frequently interrupted by incorrect punctuation and awkward transitions. The use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'However', 'In addition', 'Therefore') is often inappropriate or used in a way that does not logically connect the sentences. To improve, focus on using linking words to show actual relationships between data points (such as contrast or similarity) rather than just inserting them at the start of sentences. Ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

There is a limited range of vocabulary, and many words are used incorrectly or in an unnatural way. For example, terms like 'cigares noticed', 'smallest was covered', and 'smokers was noticed by women' are not appropriate for an academic report. There are also several spelling errors (e.g., 'comapres', 'whlist', 'cigares', 'chat' instead of 'chart'). Instead of trying to use complex words like 'fleeting glance' or 'witnessed', focus on using precise academic verbs for data description, such as 'increased', 'decreased', 'remained steady', or 'fluctuated'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and significantly impede the reader's ability to understand the report. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'smokers was noticed'), incorrect pluralization (e.g., 'men,s'), and improper sentence structures. Punctuation is also a major issue, with commas being used incorrectly before and after conjunctions, which disrupts the flow of the text. I recommend practicing basic sentence structures and focusing on the correct use of tenses when describing historical data (past tense is required here).
