Task Response

The report covers the main trends and makes some comparisons, fulfilling the task requirements. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported, and the description could be more precise. To improve, ensure all data points are accurately represented and consider using more specific language to describe changes and trends.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but the flow could be improved. The transitions between different instrument categories feel somewhat abrupt. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas and create a smoother narrative. For example, when transitioning between instruments, you could use phrases like 'In contrast' or 'Similarly' to highlight comparisons or differences.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. While words like 'fluctuations,' 'marginal decline,' and 'significant soar' are used, the report could benefit from a wider range of synonyms and more specific language to describe the trends. For instance, instead of 'dropped sharply,' you could use 'plummeted' or 'decreased substantially.' Also, avoid using the word 'figure' too often; try to replace it with more specific terms like 'sales' or 'percentage'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. For example, in the second paragraph, 'the market share of guitars sales dropped from approximately 16% to around 11 % in 2010-2011' is awkward. It should be 'the market share of guitar sales'. Also, the tense usage and subject-verb agreement need attention. Review the report carefully for these errors and consider using a grammar checker to identify and correct them.
