Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview, but contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The description of mobile/cell phone data is mostly correct, but the statement about a steep decrease to 0% in 2008 is inaccurate (the visual description shows a drop to 0% in 2008, but this may be an error in the visual; however, the report should note this anomaly). The report incorrectly states that landline was not used between 1998 and 2003, while the data shows it started at 8% in 1998. The final sentence is incomplete and unclear. To improve, ensure data accuracy, avoid contradictory statements, and provide a clear summary of trends for all categories.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has some issues with coherence and cohesion. The message is not always easy to follow due to unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. For example, the phrase 'mobile/cell phone category was noticeable by being the highest figure of the use of ICT mostly' is awkward and confusing. The paragraphing could be improved to better separate different trends. Consider using clearer topic sentences and logical connectors to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary range is limited and there are some inappropriate word choices, such as 'noticeable by being' and 'surpasses far away'. The report would benefit from more precise and varied vocabulary to describe trends, such as 'experienced a sharp rise' or 'declined dramatically'. Avoid informal or vague expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors and awkward structures, e.g., 'mobile/cell phone category was steeply decreased', 'reached to 0%', and 'started climbed up'. Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct verb forms, and proper use of prepositions. Varying sentence structures would enhance the report.
