Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview, but there are several inaccuracies and omissions. The first graph's data is misreported (e.g., 2000 is given as 40% instead of 20%, and subsequent years are incorrect). The second graph's data for 2000 is also inaccurate (e.g., no high school certificate is stated as 13% instead of 10%, and other categories are overestimated). Additionally, the report omits some data points (e.g., high school graduate and bachelor's degree for 2010). To improve, ensure all key figures are accurately reported and that the data for both years and all education levels are covered. The overall trend and comparison are clear, but precision in data is essential for a higher score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with clear paragraphing and logical progression. The overall trend is presented in the overview, and the two graphs are described in separate paragraphs. However, some transitions could be smoother, and the final sentence is a bit abrupt. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs, and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and mostly appropriate, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'considerable surge', 'in accordance with'). However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'have ownership in a populous' (should be 'smartphone ownership in a population'), 'the percentage recorded highest' (should be 'the highest percentage was recorded'), and 'just above than' (should be 'just above'). To improve, use more precise and natural collocations, and avoid literal translations. Also, vary the vocabulary to avoid repetition (e.g., 'percentage' is used frequently).

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative and superlative forms, and some complex sentences. However, there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'the percentage of having smartphones' should be 'the percentage of people having smartphones', 'at almost 48%, in 2002' should be 'at almost 48% in 2002', and 'it was the highest figure in this year' should be 'which was the highest figure in that year'. Additionally, there are missing articles and incorrect prepositions. To improve, proofread carefully and practice using a variety of sentence structures with accurate grammar and punctuation.
