Between 2003-2004 USA overtook Australia by the number of students studying in other universities reaching up to just below sixty thousand. In contrast, this trend didn’t last long as between 2005 and 2006 Australia exceed USA in the number of students peaking at about 55000 by the end of the period, while Australia finished at 45,000.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and making comparisons between the three countries. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the description of Australia's trend is partially incorrect (it did not decline abruptly to 40,000 between 2003-2004; it started at 50,000, rose to 60,000 in 2003, then fell to 40,000 in 2004), and the comparison between Australia and the USA is muddled. The UK trend is accurately described. To improve, ensure that data points are accurately reported and that comparisons are clear and consistent. Also, avoid confusing statements such as 'Australia exceed USA... while Australia finished at 45,000' (the latter refers to the USA). Overall, the response covers the requirements but with some lapses in accuracy and clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, coherence is sometimes hindered by confusing pronoun references (e.g., 'between it declined' where 'it' is unclear) and inconsistent use of country names (e.g., 'Australia' vs 'Australian students'). The progression of ideas is generally logical, but some sentences are awkwardly constructed, affecting the flow. To improve, ensure that referencing is clear and that comparisons are explicitly stated. Consider using more varied cohesive devices and check that each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, with some attempts at less common words (e.g., 'overtook', 'bypassed', 'peaking'). However, there are inaccuracies in word choice and collocation (e.g., 'between it declined abruptly' should be 'after which it declined abruptly'; 'exceed' should be 'exceeded'; 'contributing to' is not quite right). There is also repetition of simple terms like 'number of students'. To improve, expand your range of vocabulary related to trends and comparisons, and ensure that words are used with precise meaning. Pay attention to collocations and avoid informal phrasing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a number of grammatical errors that sometimes impede understanding. These include incorrect verb tenses (e.g., 'exceed' instead of 'exceeded'), missing articles (e.g., 'in last 2 years' should be 'in the last 2 years'), and preposition errors (e.g., 'between 2003-2004' should be 'between 2003 and 2004'). Sentence structures are mostly simple, with limited use of complex forms. To improve, focus on accuracy in basic grammar, particularly subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and article usage. Also, try to incorporate a wider variety of sentence structures, such as conditional or relative clauses, to demonstrate greater grammatical range.
