Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the main features of the bar chart, such as identifying the professions with the highest and lowest working hours and mentioning stress levels. However, there are several inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the data presented (e.g., stating that business men, movie producers, and doctors work more than 50 hours, while the chart shows only business men and movie producers exceed 50 hours; also, the stress levels mentioned do not align with the provided visual description). The report also includes some irrelevant or unclear statements (e.g., 'These all jobs are suffering from stress related ilness') and lacks a clear, organized comparison between the two sets of data. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the key figures, make explicit comparisons between working hours and stress levels, and ensure the information is presented in a logical and coherent structure.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction and two body paragraphs, but the organization is confusing. The overall trend is stated, but the details are not logically grouped, and comparisons are not clearly made. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'On one hand' and 'On other hand' are used incorrectly). The flow is disrupted by unclear references and abrupt shifts between ideas. To improve, plan the report with clear paragraphs: one for the highest work hours and stress, another for the lowest, and use appropriate linking words to show contrast and comparison.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and repetitive, with frequent errors in word choice and spelling (e.g., 'hourses', 'presentages', 'Adiccianaly', 'stresss'). There is some attempt to use synonyms (e.g., 'depict', 'suffering'), but the range is narrow and not precise. To improve, learn and use a wider range of vocabulary related to data description (e.g., 'approximately', 'significantly', 'in contrast', 'the highest proportion'), and ensure correct spelling and word forms. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and punctuation issues that impede understanding. There are problems with subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, and sentence structure (e.g., 'business men, movie producers and Doctors are having the highest hours work rather than others'). The use of tenses is inconsistent. To improve, practice writing clear, simple sentences with correct grammar, and then gradually incorporate more complex structures. Review basic grammar rules, especially for describing data (e.g., 'the number of hours worked', 'the stress level is higher than...').
