The line graph illustrates the proportion of people who used five different communication methods over a period of 10 years.

Overall, it is evident that the number of people using mobile broadland fluctuated over the period, while those using other communication methods all experienced an increase.

We can see from the graph that the percentage of people who used cellularphone service in 2008 was ten times as high as that in 1998, which rose from 6% to 60%. Likewise, the figure for people using Internet service showed an upward service. In 1998, it stood at around 4%, then it reached almost 20% after 10 years.

Contrary to those using cellualrphone service and Internet service, people who used fixed broadband and mobile broadband only had a slight growth during the 10 years. They both increased from 0% to approximately 4% . In addition, the number of people using landline service flutuated between 15% and 20% over the period, which reached its peak in 2004.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends in the graph, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The overall trend is not accurately summarized: it states that all other methods increased, but landline actually decreased. Specific data points are often incorrect (e.g., cellular phone starting at 6% instead of 5%, internet reaching 20% instead of 12%, fixed broadband and mobile broadband both reaching 4% instead of 6% and 1% respectively). The report also omits key comparisons and does not clearly highlight the most significant trend (the dramatic rise in cellular phone use). To improve, ensure that the overview accurately reflects the main trends, and include more precise data and comparisons. Proofread for spelling errors (e.g., 'broadland', 'cellualrphone', 'flutuated').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'We can see from the graph', and 'Contrary to' helps the reader follow the progression. However, the paragraphing could be improved by separating the discussion of the two groups of services more clearly, and the final sentence about landline could be better integrated. Minor lapses in cohesion are present, but overall the message is easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and generally appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'proportion', 'experienced an increase', 'showed an upward service'). However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'broadland', 'cellualrphone', 'flutuated') and some awkward phrasing (e.g., 'showed an upward service', 'only had a slight growth'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and more precise and varied terms could be used to describe trends and comparisons.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. However, there are noticeable errors in spelling and word choice (e.g., 'broadland' for 'broadband', 'cellualrphone' for 'cellular phone', 'flutuated' for 'fluctuated') and some awkward constructions (e.g., 'showed an upward service'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but the overall accuracy is not consistent, which affects clarity. To improve, focus on proofreading for spelling and using more precise vocabulary.
