Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task and provides a clear overview of the trends. All five countries are mentioned, and data points are included to support the descriptions. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reporting (e.g., stating Korea had the lowest rate in the overview, whereas Japan was lower in 1975) and some grammatical inconsistencies in sentence structure. To improve, ensure that comparisons between countries are made more explicitly and check that the data cited matches the visual information precisely. Additionally, work on sentence cohesion to avoid repetitive structures.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure by grouping data by country, which helps the reader follow the progression. However, there are several issues with sentence connectivity. Some sentences are overly long and run-on (e.g., the section on Sweden), while others are fragmented and lack a main verb (e.g., the section on Japan and Turkey). To improve, use a wider variety of cohesive devices such as 'In contrast,' 'Furthermore,' or 'Regarding...' to transition between ideas, and ensure every sentence is a complete grammatical unit.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is functional but repetitive. Words like 'increased,' 'rose,' and 'tax revenue' are used frequently without much variation. There are also instances of incorrect word forms, such as 'reduce' instead of 'reduced' or 'fall' instead of 'fell.' To reach a higher band, try to use more sophisticated synonyms for trends (e.g., 'climbed,' 'surged,' 'fluctuated,' or 'dipped') and ensure that the word forms (verb tenses and parts of speech) are used accurately. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical accuracy is a significant area for improvement. There are frequent errors in verb tense consistency (mixing present and past tense) and subject-verb agreement. Several sentences are missing essential components, such as the subject or the auxiliary verb (e.g., 'In Japan, grew from...' and 'In Turkey, from 16.4%...'). Additionally, the introduction contains a redundant phrase ('illustrates give'). Focus on mastering basic sentence structures and ensuring that every sentence has a clear subject and a correctly conjugated verb.
