Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing the data across the three years. It provides an overview and some specific figures. However, there are minor inaccuracies (e.g., '1912' instead of '1972') and some lapses in clarity and precision. To improve, ensure accurate data representation and avoid vague phrases like 'very balanced out.' Additionally, consider structuring the report more clearly with distinct paragraphs for overview and detailed analysis.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'its very balanced out', 'the data would completely change'). The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate. To improve, use a wider range of linking words and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic. Also, avoid informal language and ensure that the progression of ideas is smooth and logical.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'dominates the market', 'significant rose'). However, there are instances of repetition (e.g., 'rose' used multiple times) and informal or imprecise word choices (e.g., 'got', 'sitting at'). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'accounted for', 'constituted', 'experienced an increase', and avoid colloquial expressions. Also, ensure that terms like 'kind of books' are replaced with 'categories' or 'genres'. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a number of grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, the first sentence lacks a period, and there are subject-verb agreement errors ('charts illustrates'). There are also issues with tense consistency and sentence structure. To improve, focus on using a variety of complex structures accurately, and proofread for common errors such as subject-verb agreement, article usage, and punctuation. Additionally, ensure that each sentence is complete and correctly punctuated.
