Task Response

The response effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main features and making relevant comparisons between the two years. It accurately identifies the dominant category and highlights key changes, such as the growth in proximity to parental home and the decline in sports and social activities. The overview is clear and well-supported with data. Minor language errors (e.g., 'illusturate', 'dominant' misspelled, '15 of the students' instead of '15%') do not impede understanding. To improve, ensure precise vocabulary and grammatical accuracy, and consider grouping similar trends more explicitly.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, overall summary, and body paragraphs. However, there are some issues with coherence and cohesion. The overall summary could be more concise and focused on the main trends. The use of cohesive devices is sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'Moreover' for contrasting ideas, 'On the other hand' for additional information). The paragraphing is logical but could be improved by grouping similar trends together. To enhance, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic and use linking words appropriately to show relationships between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, with some attempts at less common words (e.g., 'dominant', 'proportion', 'sharp growth'). However, there are several spelling errors ('illusturate', 'dominant' misspelled as 'dominent', 'choosen') and some inappropriate word choices ('shared a percentage', 'decreased for'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and there is repetition of words like 'proportion', 'experienced', 'shared'. To improve, expand your vocabulary with synonyms and ensure accurate spelling. Use more precise and natural collocations (e.g., 'accounted for', 'comprised', 'saw a decrease'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that affect clarity. These include subject-verb agreement ('only 15 of the students decreased' should be 'the percentage of students choosing... decreased'), incorrect preposition use ('decreased for'), and tense inconsistencies. Sentence structures are mostly simple, with some attempts at complex sentences, but errors in punctuation and phrasing reduce accuracy. To improve, focus on basic grammar rules, such as subject-verb agreement and correct preposition usage. Practice constructing a variety of sentence structures and proofread carefully to eliminate errors.
