Task Response

The report identifies some trends but contains inaccuracies in the data reported. The description of the data is not always clear or well-organized. To improve, ensure data accuracy and organize the information more logically, focusing on the most significant trends and comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a clear overview and identifies key trends in the data. The information is organized logically, with a general overview followed by more detailed descriptions of specific categories (never drinkers and heavy drinkers). Transitions between sentences and paragraphs are generally smooth, contributing to the overall coherence of the report. To improve coherence, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single, well-defined aspect of the data. For instance, you could dedicate separate paragraphs to light drinkers and ex-drinkers to provide a more comprehensive analysis.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary related to describing trends and proportions. Terms like 'fluctuated,' 'gradually dropped,' and 'constituted' are used appropriately. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider incorporating more precise vocabulary to describe the data. For example, instead of 'slightly fluctuated,' you could use terms like 'remained relatively stable' or 'exhibited minor variations.' Additionally, try to use synonyms to avoid repetition. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a strong command of grammar with very few errors. The sentence structures are varied and appropriate for the task. Punctuation is used correctly throughout the report. To further enhance the grammatical range, consider incorporating more complex sentence structures where appropriate. However, ensure that the complexity does not compromise clarity.
