Task Response

The report addresses the main trends of the graph, but there are significant issues with data accuracy and clarity. While the prompt asks for values in Yen, the report frequently uses much smaller numbers (e.g., 110 Yen, 19 Yen) which do not align with the visual description provided. Additionally, the overview contains some confusing phrasing regarding the ranking of the data. To improve, ensure that the numerical values extracted from the graph are accurate and that the comparison between the different categories is logically structured. Focus on using precise language to describe trends and avoid repetitive sentence structures.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, there is significant repetition in the introduction, which makes the opening redundant. Cohesion is weakened by awkward phrasing and the misuse of transition words. For example, the overview contains contradictory or confusing logic regarding which item was 'highest' throughout the entire period. To improve, focus on using cohesive devices more naturally and ensure that the overview provides a clear, concise summary of the main trends without repeating the introduction.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is somewhat limited and repetitive. There are several spelling errors (e.g., 'Prince' instead of 'Price') that distract the reader. While some trend vocabulary is used (e.g., 'decreased sharply', 'climbed dramatically'), it is often applied inaccurately or in a way that feels forced. To improve, work on expanding your range of synonyms for 'increase' and 'decrease' and ensure that word choice is precise. Pay close attention to spelling, especially for key terms used throughout the report. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a range of structures, but grammatical errors are frequent and often impede clarity. There are issues with article usage (e.g., 'the Price of color TV'), sentence construction (e.g., 'the opposite was true for the salary significantly increased'), and subject-verb agreement. Some sentences are fragmented or overly complex in a way that obscures the meaning. To improve, practice constructing complex sentences using subordinate clauses correctly and focus on the accuracy of basic grammatical structures like articles and tense consistency.
