Task Response

The report effectively identifies the main trends, such as the overall popularity of YouTube and Facebook and the decline in usage of other platforms with age. The structure is logical, with a clear overview and detailed paragraphs for each age group. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., Instagram for 18-24 is given as 70% instead of 80%, and some figures for other groups are slightly off). Additionally, a few spelling errors (e.g., 'crosed' for 'crossed', 'ageing' for 'aged') and minor grammatical issues are present. To improve, ensure data accuracy and proofread for spelling and grammar. Comparisons between age groups could also be more explicitly highlighted.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-structured and easy to follow, with a clear overall trend stated in the introduction and a logical progression through age groups. Paragraphing is used effectively to separate different age categories. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the use of 'While' at the start of a sentence without a preceding clause, which slightly disrupts the flow. To improve, ensure that transitional phrases are used consistently to connect ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally appropriate and varied, with good use of terms like 'proportion', 'popular platforms', and 'declined with age'. However, there are some inaccuracies and unnatural phrasings, such as 'crosed' (likely a typo for 'crossed'), 'ageing' instead of 'aged', and 'Linkedln' instead of 'LinkedIn'. Additionally, phrases like 'at figures of' could be more natural (e.g., 'with figures of'). To improve, proofread for spelling errors and aim for more precise and natural collocations. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and comparisons. However, there are several errors that affect clarity, such as 'crosed' (incorrect verb form), 'While, Instagram...' (incorrect punctuation after 'While'), and 'people ageing 30-49 years old' (awkward phrasing). Punctuation and article usage also need attention (e.g., 'twitter' should be capitalized). To improve, review subject-verb agreement, correct verb tenses, and ensure consistent capitalization of proper nouns.
