The graph shows the changes in the percentage of the population of citizens in four Asian countries between 1970 and 2020. Moreover,it predicts the population from 2030 to 2040.

Overall, there is a rising trend for figures for the population living in cities in four Asian nations, with the biggest change shown in the proportion of Malaysia.

In 1970, Philippines contained the highest percentage of citizens of approximately 30%, which was slightly above Malaysia. The lowest figures were for Indonesia, which was roughly 12%.

From 1970 onwards, the proportion of Malaysia rose significantly by around 45% over the 50-year period,reaching about 75% which was the highest figure by 2020. It was predicted to continuously increase and remain the highest from 2020 to 2040. For Indonesia, the percentage also increased markedly from 1970 to 2020 and was predicted to rise over the following 20 years. The percentage of Philippines and Thailand also showed a rising trend yet less noticeable than that of Indonesia and Malaysia. The lowest figures for the population of citizens shifted from Indonesia in 1970 to Thailand in 2020 and by 2040.

Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by describing the overall trend and making some comparisons. However, there are a few inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, the report states that Malaysia had the highest figure by 2020, but the visual description indicates the Philippines had the highest percentage throughout, reaching about 80% by 2040. Additionally, the report omits specific data for Thailand and Indonesia in 2020 and 2040, and the final sentence about the lowest figures shifting is somewhat unclear. To improve, ensure all key data points are accurately reported and that comparisons are clear and consistent with the visual information.

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 (e.g., 'Overall', 'From 1970 onwards', 'For Indonesia') helps guide the reader. However, there are a few minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt shift from discussing Malaysia to Indonesia and the slightly unclear final sentence. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic and use linking words to connect ideas more explicitly.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, including terms like 'rising trend', 'proportion', 'markedly', and 'predicted'. There is some repetition (e.g., 'percentage', 'figures') and a few awkward phrases (e.g., 'the population of citizens' instead of 'the urban population'). To enhance lexical resource, vary word choices and use more precise collocations (e.g., 'urban population', 'witnessed a significant increase').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. There are minor errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'Moreover,it predicts' (missing space after comma) and 'the percentage of Philippines' (missing 'the' before 'Philippines'). The final sentence is a bit convoluted. To improve, proofread for punctuation and article usage, and simplify complex sentences for clarity.
