Task Response

The report provides a general overview of the divorce rates in the three cities but contains some inaccuracies and omissions. The description of the data lacks precision and contains some incorrect values. To improve, ensure that the data cited is accurate and that all key trends and values are mentioned.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a general overview and some specific data points, but the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider grouping information by country or by year to enhance coherence. Transitions between sentences and paragraphs could also be smoother. For example, clearly link the general trends mentioned in the second paragraph to the specific data discussed in the subsequent paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and variety. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'percentage' or 'rate,' try incorporating synonyms like 'proportion,' 'incidence,' or 'level.' Also, consider using more descriptive adjectives and adverbs to add nuance to your descriptions of the trends. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and accurate preposition usage. For example, review the sentences describing the changes in divorce rates for each city to ensure grammatical accuracy and clarity. Proofreading carefully can help identify and correct these errors.
