The table illustrates datas about the five small companies in Britain that ranked highest in a staff survey carried out by a national newspaper to determine the best companies to work for.

Taken as a whole, it can be seen from the table that there are five positions in every company’s survey. They are staff numbers, male and female staff’s ratio, how old staffs are, staff turnover, and staff in high income bracket.

If we compare staff numbers in every company according to survey, in 5th company is the highest one in this, and there are 190 staffs. While the smallest one is 1st company, and there are 56 staffs. Also, by looking at ratio of male and female staffs, we can see that almost in every company without 3rd one female employees are more than male ones. Employers age is almost the same as male / female ratio. In every company, a high percentage of workers are under their 35s.

And staff turnover is similar to stuff numbers in that they both are the highest in 5th company and the largest in 1st company. And the 3rd company is the best company for having high-income employees. However, the 5th company is not good at this.

Task Response

The report identifies some of the main features of the data, but the organization and analysis could be improved. The comparisons are somewhat superficial and lack depth. To improve, focus on grouping companies based on similar characteristics and providing more specific details and comparisons supported by the data. Also, ensure the writing is more concise and avoids unnecessary repetition.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of information is not always smooth. The introduction restates the prompt but lacks a clear overview of the main trends. The body paragraphs attempt to compare the companies across different categories, but the transitions between these categories are abrupt. To improve coherence, consider grouping related information together and using transition words to guide the reader. For example, you could dedicate a paragraph to staff demographics (age and gender ratio) and another to financial aspects (turnover and income bracket). Also, avoid stating the obvious, such as 'there are five positions in every company's survey.' Instead, focus on highlighting the key differences and similarities between the companies.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is relatively basic and lacks the precision needed to effectively describe the data. There are instances of imprecise word choice, such as 'datas' instead of 'data' and 'stuff numbers' instead of 'staff numbers.' To enhance lexical resource, try to incorporate more specific and varied vocabulary related to employment and demographics. For example, instead of 'high-income employees,' you could use 'employees in the highest income bracket' or 'highly compensated staff.' Also, pay attention to the correct usage of plural and singular nouns.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. These include incorrect verb tenses ('illustrates datas'), subject-verb agreement issues ('employees age is'), and awkward sentence structures ('in 5th company is the highest one in this'). There are also issues with article usage ('the 5th company and the largest in 1st company'). To improve grammatical accuracy, carefully proofread your work and focus on using a variety of sentence structures correctly. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and article usage. Consider using a grammar checker to identify and correct errors, but always review the suggestions critically.
