Task Response

The report addresses the task by presenting an overview and some key data for each country. However, there are several inaccuracies and omissions that detract from the overall effectiveness. For instance, the report incorrectly states that Australia and Denmark have the same salary after 15 years and at maximum, and it misinterprets the 'Salary per year' column as 'after 15 years' for all countries. Additionally, the data for Japan's starting salary is omitted, and the comparison between countries could be more developed. To improve, ensure all key figures are accurately reported, clarify the meaning of each column, and make more explicit comparisons across countries.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references. For example, 'as after 15 years and in maximum keep unchanged income' is confusing. The paragraphing could be improved by grouping countries more logically (e.g., comparing those with similar patterns). Use cohesive devices more effectively to link ideas and avoid abrupt transitions.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited, with some repetition and imprecise word choices. For instance, 'represented' is overused, and phrases like 'in maximum' are not natural. There is an attempt to use a range of expressions (e.g., 'took the longest', 'keep unchanged'), but the control is not always accurate. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary such as 'remained constant', 'reached a peak', 'experienced a rise', and 'the highest/lowest figures'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward structures that affect clarity. For example, 'as after 15 years and in maximum keep unchanged income' is grammatically incorrect, and there are issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. The range of sentence structures is limited, with many sentences following a similar pattern. To improve, practice using a variety of complex structures, ensure subject-verb agreement, and proofread for punctuation errors.
