The number of shops opened and closed during the given period between 2011 and 2018 in particular country is illustrated in the line graph.

Overall, it is noticeable that both shop closures and openings showed gradual decrease in numbers except for statistics of closures between 2014 and 2016, when major fall and boost in number of closed markets happened in such a short period.

At the outset, the total of new shops in 2011 was more to about 2000, but in the next year situation changed completely because of dramatic decrease of new opened shops nearly to the half that resulted in 2000 difference again(closures were higher than openings). Subsequently, till the 2014 statistics of both closures and openings showed stable rise: number of each of them was around 6000-6500 respectively.

Since 2014 the total of openings has begun to shorten. While in that year the graph shows 6000 openings, at the end of 2018 this number decreased up to 50%, with 3000 opened new markets. Number of closures, on the other hand, managed to drop to only 500 from 6000 in one year, but in the next year it again surged to 5000. Finally, in 2018 the total of closures in one country was more to 2000 compared to openings with 5000 and 3000 respectively.

Task Response

The report addresses the main trends and provides a comparison between openings and closures. However, there are several inaccuracies in data interpretation and mathematical comparisons that affect the clarity of the report. For instance, the description of the difference between openings and closures in 2011 is unclear, and some numerical comparisons (such as the '2000 difference') are difficult to follow. To improve, ensure that all data points cited are clearly linked to the correct year and that comparisons between the two categories are mathematically precise. Additionally, focus on improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure to ensure the trends are communicated smoothly.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes difficult to follow due to awkward phrasing and imprecise linking. Some sentences are overly long and convoluted, which disrupts the flow. To improve, focus on using clearer cohesive devices and ensure that each sentence has a single, clear purpose. Avoid using complex structures if they obscure the relationship between the data points.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat repetitive and occasionally inaccurate. For example, terms like 'shorten' are used incorrectly when referring to numerical values (it should be 'decrease' or 'decline'), and 'more to about 2000' is not a standard English expression. There is an attempt to use varied vocabulary (e.g., 'surged', 'dramatic decrease'), but these are often used in ways that feel unnatural. Aim to use more precise academic collocations, such as 'a significant decline' or 'a sharp increase', and ensure that word choices accurately reflect the mathematical changes described.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede communication. There are issues with article usage (e.g., 'in particular country' instead of 'in a particular country'), preposition errors, and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'more to about 2000'). Tense consistency is also an issue. To improve, practice subject-verb agreement and the correct use of articles. Focus on writing clearer, more concise sentences to ensure that your grammatical accuracy supports your ability to convey data effectively.
