Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing both the table and the line graph, and it makes relevant comparisons. The overall trends are correctly identified, and the data is presented in a clear, organized manner. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies and omissions: the divorce rate in 2000 is stated as 290,000, but the report says it reached around 200,000 in the final year, which is slightly off (it should be around 250,000). Additionally, the report could have mentioned the peak in divorces around 2000 and the slight decline thereafter. The language is generally clear, but there are some grammatical and spelling errors (e.g., 'japanese' should be capitalized, 'realtively' should be 'relatively', 'upto' should be 'up to', and 'Regarding to' should be 'Regarding'). To improve, ensure data accuracy and proofread for minor errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and separate paragraphs for the table and graph. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and minor lapses in cohesion. For example, the phrase 'Regarding to the graph' is not idiomatic, and the transition between the table and graph sections could be smoother. The overview is present but could be more clearly linked to the subsequent details. To improve, use a wider range of cohesive devices (e.g., 'In contrast', 'Similarly', 'Furthermore') and ensure each paragraph has a clear topic sentence that guides the reader.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing data, such as 'illustrates', 'depicts', 'proportion', 'gradually increased', and 'remained relatively stable'. However, there are several inaccuracies and repetitions. For instance, 'japanese' should be capitalized, and 'marriage and divorce rate' should be 'marriage and divorce rates'. The phrase 'the number of marriages rate were decline' is awkward and should be rephrased. To improve, use a wider range of synonyms (e.g., 'figure', 'percentage', 'trend') and ensure precise word choices (e.g., 'declined' instead of 'were decline'). Also, avoid informal or incorrect phrases like 'realtively' (spelling) and 'upto' (should be 'up to').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including simple and some complex sentences. However, there are several errors that affect clarity. For example, 'the proportion of japanese citizens who were never married were very low' has a subject-verb agreement error ('proportion' is singular, so 'was' is needed). Also, 'the number of marriages rate were decline' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'the marriage rate declined'. The phrase 'Regarding to the graph' should be 'Regarding the graph' or 'With regard to the graph'. Punctuation is mostly correct, but there are missing commas after introductory phrases. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct verb forms, and using a wider range of complex structures (e.g., relative clauses, passive voice) with accuracy.
