Task Response

7
The report covers the requirements of the task, providing an overview and specific details from the bar chart. However, there are some areas for improvement. The report could benefit from a more structured approach, perhaps grouping countries with similar trends together. Also, while the report mentions most of the countries, it could benefit from a clearer comparison of the highest and lowest values, and the average, to provide a more comprehensive summary. Finally, the report contains some inaccuracies in the data reported.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The report is generally well-organized with a clear overview and detailed paragraphs. However, the flow could be improved by using more varied cohesive devices to connect ideas within and between paragraphs. For instance, in the third paragraph, the transition between countries could be smoother. Consider using a wider range of linking words and phrases to enhance the overall coherence.

Lexical Resource

7
The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, but there's room for improvement in using more precise and sophisticated language. For example, instead of repeatedly using 'showed' or 'indicated,' try incorporating synonyms like 'represented,' 'displayed,' or 'accounted for.' Also, consider using more specific vocabulary related to data analysis, such as 'constituted a smaller fraction' or 'exhibited a marginal difference.' Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

7
The report demonstrates a good command of grammar with only minor errors. To further enhance the grammatical range, try incorporating more complex sentence structures, such as using a wider variety of clauses (e.g., relative clauses, conditional clauses) and verb tenses. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and correct use of articles to minimize errors.
