Overall, while enquiries received by letter or email experienced a downward trend, a clear upward trend can be seen in both in person and by telephone enquiries, especially in person which showed a significant growth.

Looking first at the number of requirement received by letter or email, this type of enquiries remained relatively stable at the first three months before decrease gradually throughtout the period, decreasing from around 790 in January to approximately 750 in March. The figure then declined to only around 390 at the end of period.

Task Response

The response covers the requirements of the task by identifying the main trends and providing specific data points for comparison. The overview is clear and effectively summarizes the general direction of the data. However, there are some inaccuracies in word choice and grammar that slightly affect the precision of the report. For example, the term 'requirement' is used repeatedly instead of 'enquiries,' which changes the meaning of the task. Additionally, there are minor grammatical errors such as 'telephone was also incline' instead of 'telephone enquiries also inclined' or 'showed an upward trend.' To improve, ensure that the terminology used strictly matches the prompt and focus on using more precise academic verbs to describe trends (e.g., 'increased,' 'rose,' 'climbed' instead of 'was incline').

Coherence & Cohesion

The response follows a logical structure, with a clear introduction, an overview, and two body paragraphs that separate the trends effectively. However, the progression is occasionally hindered by grammatical inaccuracies. To improve, ensure that transitions between sentences are smoother and that the relationship between data points is expressed with more precision. Using more varied cohesive devices beyond 'Looking first at' and 'Turning to' would enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

You have attempted to use a range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'skyrocketed', 'downward trend', 'declined'). However, there is a significant error in word choice: you repeatedly used 'requirement' instead of 'enquiries'. This is a key term from the task and using the wrong word affects the accuracy of your report. Additionally, watch out for spelling errors such as 'throughtout' and 'Junaury'. Aim for more precise collocations, such as 'a four-fold increase' rather than 'four-fold increase the initial figure'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical issues that impact the clarity of the report. There are errors in subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'telephone was also incline' should be 'telephone enquiries also inclined' or 'showed an incline'), preposition usage, and sentence structure (e.g., 'before decrease gradually' should be 'before decreasing gradually'). While you use a mix of simple and complex structures, the frequency of errors in verb forms and noun plurals prevents a higher score. Focus on mastering participle clauses (e.g., '..., decreasing from...') and ensuring tense consistency.
