Task Response

The report covers the requirements of the task, providing a general overview and specific details from the pie charts. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions, such as the incorrect statement about online courses starting in 1984 and the unchanged correspondence courses for 10 years. To improve, ensure all data is accurately represented and avoid minor inaccuracies.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has some coherence issues. The overview is present but could be more impactful by directly comparing the most significant changes. The body paragraphs generally follow a chronological order, but transitions between sentences and ideas could be smoother. For example, in the second paragraph, the connection between the dominance of face-to-face courses and the comparison of correspondence and mixed media courses isn't immediately clear. Consider using cohesive devices to link ideas more explicitly.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of vocabulary, but there's room for improvement in using more precise and sophisticated language. For instance, instead of 'witnessed an upward trajectories,' you could use 'experienced a significant increase.' Similarly, 'fell sharply' is acceptable, but consider alternatives like 'declined substantially' for variety. Focus on incorporating more nuanced vocabulary to describe trends and comparisons. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'highlighting its dominance in the student' is grammatically incorrect and unclear. Similarly, 'correspondence courses was remain unchanged' contains errors in verb tense and agreement. 'Online courses begin from 11% in 1984' is also inaccurate since online courses started in 1994, not 1984, according to the visual description. Proofread carefully to correct these errors and ensure accurate use of tenses, articles, and sentence structure.
