Task Response

The report addresses the task by presenting an overview and some key data, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, the figures for playing games/sports in 2020 are incorrectly stated as 42% and 46% (actual: 40% and 46%), and the final sentence about dancing is inaccurate and confusing. Additionally, the report incorrectly refers to 'senior citizens' instead of 'adults', and the data for dancing in 1990 and 2020 is not clearly presented. To improve, ensure all figures are accurately reported, avoid introducing irrelevant details, and clearly compare trends across both time periods and areas. Focus on summarizing the most significant changes, such as the rise in photography and the decline in reading, while maintaining clarity and precision.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'Totally, 46% of adults were enjoyed dancing in 1990 before increasing upto 54% in 2020' is confusing and inaccurate). The paragraphing is adequate but could be more logically organized, with clearer separation of trends and comparisons. To improve, use more cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly') and ensure each paragraph focuses on a clear main idea.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'senior citizens' instead of 'adults', 'experienced' instead of 'enjoyed'). However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'photograohy', 'araes', 'upto') and some awkward word choices (e.g., 'Totally' instead of 'Overall'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and more precise terms (e.g., 'proportion', 'figure', 'witnessed a rise') could be used to enhance lexical flexibility. Proofreading for spelling and using more varied synonyms would improve this criterion.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'the percentage of reading has decreased' should be 'the percentage of people who read decreased', and 'were enjoyed' is incorrect (should be 'enjoyed'). There are also issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'playing games/sports were liked' should be 'was liked') and article usage. Punctuation is mostly correct, but the errors in tense and verb forms reduce accuracy. To improve, focus on using correct past tense forms and ensuring subject-verb agreement throughout.
