Task Response

The report addresses the task and includes relevant data, but there are some inaccuracies and omissions. The overview is somewhat unclear and contains a grammatical error ('increased dramatically increased'). The data for Japan is incorrectly described as having the highest tax in 2005, while Sweden actually has the highest. The final sentence about the USA, Korea, and Turkey averaging around 27.5% is imprecise, as the actual figures are 27.4%, 27.3%, and 27.4%. To improve, ensure the overview is clear and accurate, and double-check data points for precision. Also, avoid repetition and grammatical errors. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

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 comparisons. For example, the overview could be more concise and better organized. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and some sentences are long and confusing. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph has a single main idea. Also, avoid overcomplicating the overview by stating the most significant trends more directly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there is limited range and some imprecise word choices. For instance, 'boosted' and 'raised' are used instead of more precise terms like 'increased' or 'rose'. The phrase 'did not raised sharply like other' is awkward and unclear. To improve, use a wider variety of accurate verbs and nouns (e.g., 'experienced a rise', 'saw a significant increase'), and ensure word forms are correct (e.g., 'raised' vs. 'rise'). Also, avoid informal or vague expressions like 'stopped in the same percentage'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. For example, 'increased dramatically increased' is a repetition error, and 'did not raised' is incorrect (should be 'did not rise'). There are also issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage (e.g., 'the tax' vs. 'tax'). The sentence 'while taxes in the USA, Korea, and Turkey did not raised sharply like other, but stopped in the same percentage in 2005' is grammatically incorrect and unclear. To improve, focus on using correct verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and clearer sentence structures. Proofreading for basic errors would also help.
