Task Response

The report covers the main features of both tables and makes some relevant comparisons. However, there are some omissions, such as not mentioning all the key reasons from each table (e.g., 'Already speak the language' for staying home, 'Help people in poorer countries' and 'Make new friends' for traveling overseas). To improve, ensure all significant data points are included and consider a more structured approach to the comparison, perhaps grouping similar reasons together.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but the flow could be improved. The 'overall' statement is generic and doesn't provide a strong overview. Transitions between ideas could be smoother to enhance readability. Paragraphing is acceptable, but the connections between paragraphs could be clearer. Consider using more specific linking words and phrases to guide the reader through the comparisons.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. Some phrases are a bit basic (e.g., 'find it easier to find work'). Try to incorporate more sophisticated vocabulary related to the reasons for deferring degrees and the motivations behind the choices. For example, instead of 'find it easier to find work,' you could say 'perceive greater employment opportunities.' Also, avoid informal language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. Sentence structures are relatively simple, and there's a lack of complex sentence constructions. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and appropriate use of articles and prepositions. Proofreading carefully for these errors will improve the overall accuracy of the report. For example, 'students who choose to stay home, because they find it easier to find work' could be rephrased for better clarity and grammatical correctness.
