Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main trends and making relevant comparisons. It clearly identifies the most and least common reasons, and describes the changes over the three time points. However, there are a few minor lapses: the phrase 'going for the work' is slightly awkward, and 'growth' should be 'grew'. Additionally, the report could have been more concise in the second paragraph by avoiding repetition of 'attending arts events'. Overall, the response is well-structured and covers the key features appropriately. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized and easy to follow, with a clear introduction and body paragraphs. However, the second sentence of the introduction ('It is clear that...') is somewhat redundant and could be integrated more smoothly. The use of cohesive devices is adequate, but there is room for more sophisticated linking and referencing to enhance flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and generally accurate, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'desire to see a specific performer' vs. 'seeing a specific performer'). However, there are minor issues such as 'growth steadily' (should be 'grew steadily') and the use of 'Performer' with a capital letter. A wider range of synonyms and more precise academic phrasing would improve the lexical resource.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative and trend language. There are a few minor errors, such as 'growth' instead of 'grew' and the omission of 'the' before 'work' in the introduction. Punctuation is generally correct, but the report would benefit from more complex sentence structures and greater accuracy in verb forms.
