Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main trends in shop closures and openings over the given period. It provides an overall summary and highlights key changes, such as the peak in openings in 2011 and the dramatic drop in closures in 2015. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the opening figure for 2012 is stated as 4000, but the visual description indicates approximately 3800; the closure figure for 2015 is described as 'just under 1000', whereas the data suggests approximately 600; and the report does not mention the exact figures for 2017 and 2018 for closures, nor the slight rise in openings in 2017. To improve, ensure all key data points are accurately reported and avoid minor numerical discrepancies. The structure is clear, and the language is generally appropriate, but a more precise use of data would enhance task achievement.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The introduction and overview are clear, and the data is presented in a logical sequence. However, there are a few minor lapses in cohesion, such as the use of 'whereas' in the second paragraph which could be better replaced with a more appropriate connector, and the final sentence could be more smoothly integrated. Overall, the paragraphing is adequate, but could be improved by more clearly separating the description of closures and openings.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for describing trends (e.g., 'illustrates', 'erratic pattern', 'dramatic drop', 'surged significantly'). There is some repetition of phrases like 'the number of shop openings' and 'the number of shop closures', which could be varied for better lexical flexibility. The language is generally accurate and natural, but there is room for more sophisticated and varied expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. There are a few minor errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'shop closure experienced' (should be 'shop closures experienced') and the run-on sentence in the last paragraph. Punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences could be broken down for clarity. Overall, the grammar is accurate enough to convey the message clearly, but there is room for improvement in terms of precision and variety.
