The line graph compares the average daily water consumption per person per day across four different countries between 1990 and 2020. The figures are expressed as liters.

Overall, the daily consumption of water per person in Country A fell steadily, while the amount consumed per person in Country B rose over the years. The daily consumption of water per person in Country C showed minor changes.

Specifically, the daily consumption of water per person in Country A fell sharply from 375 liters in 1990 to approximately 260 liters in 2020, while the amount in Country B minimally increased from 150 liters in 1990 to above 200 liters in 2020. Moreover, the daily consumption of water per person in Country C and Country D saw changes over the subsequent 30 years, decreasing from 125 liters to 120 liters and gradually increasing from nearly 60 liters to above 150 liters, respectively.

By contrast, the daily consumption of water in country A fell sharply but the amount in country A remained the highest over the following 30 years. The daily consumption of water in country D rose from nearly 50 liters to above 150 liters. Similarly, the amount in country B slightly increased from 150 to above 200 liters.

Task Response

The report adequately covers the main features of the graph, including overall trends for each country and some comparisons. It is generally accurate and relevant, with minor data inaccuracies (e.g., Country A's starting value, Country C's values) and some repetition in the final paragraph. To improve, ensure data precision and avoid redundant statements. The structure is clear, but the final paragraph could be more concise and focused on key comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, an overview, and a detailed comparison. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Specifically', and 'By contrast' helps guide the reader. However, there is some repetition of the phrase 'the daily consumption of water per person' which could be varied to improve flow. The final paragraph repeats information already presented, which slightly affects the overall coherence. To improve, consider merging the last two paragraphs and using more varied referencing (e.g., 'this figure', 'the former', 'the latter').

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with words like 'steadily', 'sharply', 'gradually', and 'minimally' effectively describing trends. There is a good range of expressions for changes. However, there is some repetition of 'daily consumption of water per person' and 'amount', which could be replaced with synonyms like 'usage', 'level', or 'figure'. The phrase 'saw changes' is a bit vague; more precise language like 'fluctuated' or 'remained stable' would be better. Overall, the lexical resource is adequate but could be more varied and precise. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. There are minor errors, such as inconsistent use of 'liters' vs 'litres' and a few awkward phrasings (e.g., 'the amount in country A remained the highest over the following 30 years' could be more concise). The punctuation is generally correct. To improve, ensure consistent spelling and vary sentence structures to avoid repetitive patterns. The grammar is mostly accurate, but a few lapses prevent a higher score.
