Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and detailed comparisons of the three cities' trends. The overall structure is clear, with a logical progression from general trends to specific data. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies and omissions: the description of City B's decline as 'steadily' is not entirely accurate given the fluctuations, and the final value for City B is stated as 25 instead of 24. Additionally, some phrasing could be more concise and precise (e.g., 'had fell' should be 'had fallen'). To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported and refine language for clarity and grammatical accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall trend and logical grouping of data. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, and the progression of ideas is easy to follow. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt transition in the second paragraph ('Focusing first on the two categories...') and the slightly awkward phrasing in the final sentence. To improve, ensure smoother transitions between paragraphs and within sentences, and consider using a wider range of linking words and phrases.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary with appropriate use of terms like 'noticeable fall', 'rose dramatically', 'fluctuated', 'pronounced decrease', and 'staggering'. The language is generally precise and natural. However, there are a few instances of less sophisticated phrasing, such as 'the one for City C' and 'the figure for City A fluctuated over years'. To achieve a higher score, aim for more varied and precise vocabulary, and avoid repetitive structures like 'the figure for'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences and subordinate clauses, with good control. There are minor grammar errors, such as 'had fell' (should be 'had fallen') and a missing comma after 'decrease' in 'a decrease,City A'. Additionally, some phrasing is slightly awkward, e.g., 'the figure subsequently had fell to 20 in 2010'. To improve, proofread carefully to eliminate these small errors and ensure consistent tense usage throughout.
