Task Response

6
The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and making some comparisons. However, there are notable inaccuracies in the data (e.g., starting values and peak values for each lake) and some omissions (e.g., specific years like 2012 and 2014). The overall structure is clear, but the report would benefit from more precise data reporting and a more balanced coverage of all time periods.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The report is logically organized with clear paragraphing and overall progression. However, some transitions could be smoother, and the use of cohesive devices is sometimes repetitive (e.g., 'then' used multiple times). The message is generally easy to follow, but there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt shift from the overview to details.

Lexical Resource

6
The vocabulary is adequate and mostly appropriate, with some good attempts at variation (e.g., 'fluctuated', 'declining dramatically'). However, there are inaccuracies and less precise word choices (e.g., 'sharply changes' should be 'sharp changes', 'lower level then' should be 'lower level than'). The range is somewhat limited, and more sophisticated lexical items could be used to describe trends more precisely.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings (e.g., 'It increase slightly' should be 'It increased slightly', 'before ending at lower level then' should be 'before ending at a lower level than'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but the errors detract from overall accuracy. A wider range of structures with more consistent control would improve the score.
