Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The data for agriculture and services are misreported (e.g., agriculture is said to decrease to roughly 12% and services to reach over 60%, which are not supported by the visual description). The overview is somewhat unclear and contains a contradictory statement about services and agriculture. The report also omits specific data for 1970 and 1990, and the final sentence about industry is inaccurate. To improve, ensure that all key data points are accurately reported and that the overview clearly summarizes the main trends without contradictions.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing (e.g., 'services demonstrate same percentage with agriculture' and 'reached agriculture's peak') and awkward phrasing. The overview could be more precise and better highlight the key trends. Paragraphing is adequate but could be improved by more logical grouping of information and smoother transitions between ideas.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use a range of vocabulary, but some word choices are inaccurate or unnatural (e.g., 'tree type' instead of 'three types', 'demonstrate' instead of 'showed', 'input' instead of 'contribution', 'new low' instead of 'lowest'). The report would benefit from more precise and varied vocabulary to describe trends (e.g., 'declined steadily', 'remained stable', 'peaked at'). Some phrases are repetitive, and the language lacks the sophistication expected for a higher band score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a mix of simple and complex sentences, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. Examples include subject-verb agreement ('agriculture gradually decrease'), incorrect verb forms ('services demonstrate', 'agriculture provide'), and missing articles ('the India's GDP'). There are also run-on sentences and awkward constructions. To improve, the writer should focus on using a wider range of grammatical structures with greater accuracy and ensuring that punctuation is used correctly throughout.
