Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task by comparing the two countries and identifying key trends. However, there are several inaccuracies in data reporting (for example, stating that book costs are 12% in the US and 15% in the UK, which reverses the data provided in the description) and some repetitive phrasing. To improve, ensure that data comparisons are precise and that the relationship between figures is described clearly. Focus on improving grammatical accuracy and sentence structure to ensure the comparisons flow logically.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the report is somewhat logical, but the progression of ideas is hindered by poor sentence structure. While you attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'In addition', 'Next order'), they are often used incorrectly or within fragmented sentences. To improve, focus on using transition words to link complete thoughts rather than just fragments. Ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that sentences flow logically from one to the next.

Lexical Resource

There is a limited range of vocabulary, and several words are used incorrectly or misspelled (e.g., 'precentages', 'expanses', 'coast' instead of 'cost'). There is also frequent repetition of words like 'expenses' and 'order'. To improve, work on building a bank of synonyms for common Task 1 terms (e.g., instead of 'bigger', use 'higher', 'greater', or 'more significant') and ensure you are using the correct word forms. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and significantly impede the reader's ability to understand the report. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'charts compares'), article usage, and sentence construction (e.g., 'UK is bigger expenses of rent than US'). Many sentences are run-on sentences or fragments. I recommend studying basic sentence structures (Subject + Verb + Object) and practicing how to use comparative structures (e.g., 'higher than', 'more expensive than') accurately.
