Task Response

The report addresses the task by summarizing the main features and making comparisons between men and women in different employment areas over the three years. It covers all key categories and years, and the overall trend is clear. However, there are some inaccuracies in data reporting (e.g., men in catering increased by 6 percentage points, not 6%; banking increase to 21% is correct but phrasing is unclear; education increase is 1 percentage point per year, not 1% per year). Additionally, the language contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'who was working', 'persective job', 'pan-year', 'inductry', 'sourse') that can hinder clarity. To improve, focus on precise data reporting and use more accurate and varied vocabulary and sentence structures.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and separate paragraphs for men and women. However, the progression within paragraphs is sometimes unclear, and the use of cohesive devices is occasionally inaccurate (e.g., 'According to men', 'Followed by banking'). The overview is present but could be more comprehensive. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic, use a wider range of cohesive devices accurately, and avoid abrupt shifts between ideas.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use a variety of vocabulary (e.g., 'proportion', 'depicts', 'apparent', 'witnessed', 'subsequently'), but some word choices are inappropriate or imprecise (e.g., 'persective job', 'inductry', 'sourse', 'pan-year'). These errors reduce clarity. To improve, focus on using vocabulary accurately and appropriately, and proofread to eliminate spelling mistakes. Expand your range of synonyms for common terms like 'increase' and 'decrease'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors (e.g., subject-verb agreement: 'males and females who was working'; incorrect phrase: 'a went down'; missing words: 'stable 26%'). These errors sometimes hinder understanding. To improve, review basic grammar rules, particularly subject-verb agreement and article usage, and ensure that sentences are complete and correctly punctuated.
