Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data presented in the graph. The numbers cited in the report do not align with the values shown in the graph, and there are inconsistencies in the trends described. To improve, focus on accurately extracting and reporting the key data points and trends from the graph. Ensure that the numbers and descriptions match the visual information provided. Also, avoid introducing extraneous information not found in the graph (e.g., the sample size of 160 teenagers).

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize information, but the flow could be improved. The introduction is present, and there's an attempt to provide an overview. However, the paragraphing and sequencing of details are not always logical, making it slightly difficult to follow the trends. For instance, the shift between discussing French and Mandarin could be smoother. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary, but there are instances where the word choice is not precise ('a lot of 13-year-olds have been choosing'). There are also inaccuracies in the data reported. To improve, focus on using more specific and accurate vocabulary related to describing trends and quantities. Also, ensure that the data you are reporting is accurate. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but grammatical errors are present and affect clarity. For example, there are issues with subject-verb agreement and incorrect use of prepositions ('those of French'). The accuracy needs improvement to ensure the message is conveyed clearly. Proofread carefully to identify and correct grammatical errors.
