Task Response

The report identifies the upward trends of in-person and telephone inquiries and the downward trend for email inquiries. However, there are inaccuracies in the data reported, such as the starting values for telephone and in-person inquiries, and the claim that email inquiries decreased (they actually increased). The report also lacks specific comparisons between the different methods of inquiry. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data and making direct comparisons between the different categories. Ensure that all key features of the graph are addressed. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a clear overview and identifies the main trends in the graph. The progression of ideas is generally logical, but the organization could be improved for better flow. For instance, grouping the increasing trends together and then discussing the decreasing trend would enhance coherence. Transitions between sentences and paragraphs could also be smoother to guide the reader more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary suitable for describing trends and data. Terms like 'increased,' 'exceeding,' 'gradually rose,' and 'declining trend' are used appropriately. However, there's room to incorporate more varied and precise language to capture the nuances of the data. For example, instead of 'slightly reached,' consider using 'marginally increased to' or 'modestly climbed to' for greater accuracy.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report exhibits a strong command of grammar with accurate sentence structures and punctuation. The sentences are generally well-formed and convey the information clearly. While the grammar is mostly accurate, ensure consistent tense usage and subject-verb agreement throughout the report. A thorough review can help identify and correct any minor errors.
