The line graph illustrates the percentage of houses using different types of heating fuel according to the year of construction of the houses.

Before 1905, the number of houses that use electricity was around 15%, slowly rose to 25% between year 1950 and 1969. It continued to rise steadily and reached 45% after 21 years. This shows that the usage of electricity gradually increased when the home was built.

Conversely, before constructing the older homes in 1950 the percentage of natural gas was 60% and it was stablized till 1969. This figures declined to approximately 45% between 1970 and 1989. Moreover, the proportion also leveled off for the house built in 2010.

Overall, it is clear from the graph that the use of electricity in various homes saw an increase, while natural gas declined over the same period.

Task Response

The report covers the main trends in the graph and provides relevant data. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., "Before 1905, the number of houses that use electricity was around 15%"). To improve, ensure that all data cited is accurate and that all time periods are covered. Also, the language could be more precise and sophisticated. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report provides a general overview and identifies some trends, but the organization could be improved for better clarity. Consider grouping information more thematically, such as discussing the trends for electricity and natural gas in separate paragraphs. Transitions between sentences and paragraphs could also be smoother to enhance the flow of information.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally adequate, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and variety. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'rose' or 'increased,' try incorporating synonyms like 'grew,' 'expanded,' or 'escalated.' Also, be mindful of using the correct terminology related to graph descriptions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and sentence structure. Review and correct these errors to improve the overall grammatical accuracy of your writing. For example, 'before 1905' should be 'before 1950', and 'stablized' should be 'stabilized'.
