Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies in data reporting that obscure the main trends. There are several contradictions between the text and the provided visual description (for example, describing a drop to 500 when the data suggests 5,000, or stating openings were overtaken by closures when the data shows the opposite). To improve, ensure that the numerical data cited accurately reflects the trends shown in the graph. Additionally, focus on making more logical comparisons between the two categories rather than describing them in isolation, and ensure that the overview accurately summarizes the general direction of both lines.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure with an introduction, overview, and two body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes difficult to follow due to inconsistent use of cohesive devices and logical errors in describing trends. For example, the overview states that both figures decreased, but the body paragraphs describe fluctuations and increases. To improve, ensure that your overview accurately reflects the main trends described in the body and use a wider variety of linking words (e.g., 'In contrast', 'Subsequently', 'Following this') to connect your sentences more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat repetitive and contains several inaccuracies in word choice and spelling (e.g., 'flactuated'). There is an attempt to use varied verbs like 'skyrocketed' and 'rebounded', but these are sometimes used in contexts that do not match the data trends. Additionally, the use of all capital letters is inappropriate for an academic report. Aim to use more precise academic vocabulary and ensure that the intensity of your descriptive verbs (like 'sharp decrease' or 'skyrocketed') accurately matches the magnitude of the changes shown in the graph. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'openings was'), tense consistency (e.g., 'it overtaken'), and preposition usage (e.g., 'decrease at' instead of 'decrease to'). Sentence structures are often simple and repetitive. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence structures, particularly the use of past tense for historical data, and practice using complex sentences with subordinate clauses to show relationships between different data points.
