Task Response

The report demonstrates an attempt to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies regarding the data and years presented in the chart. Key points are misinterpreted, and there are issues with the coherence and accuracy of the information. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data from the chart, ensuring correct years and percentages are reported. Organize the information more clearly, and avoid generalizations that are not supported by the data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates some organization, but the progression of ideas is not always clear. The introduction misidentifies the chart type and years. The body paragraphs lack clear topic sentences, making it difficult to follow the main points. Transitions between sentences and paragraphs could be improved to enhance coherence. For example, using phrases like 'In contrast' or 'Similarly' can help connect ideas more effectively. Paragraphing could be improved by grouping information more logically.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a limited range of vocabulary, with some inaccuracies. There is some repetition of words and phrases. To improve, try to use synonyms and a wider range of vocabulary to describe the trends and data. For example, instead of repeatedly using 'proportion,' consider using 'percentage,' 'share,' or 'ratio.' Also, ensure that the vocabulary used is appropriate for the context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. There are issues with verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure. For example, the sentence 'While, 'no car' was the most common among all the given trends at the beginning of the year it lost dominance in 2001 in the given country' is grammatically incorrect and difficult to understand. To improve, focus on using a variety of sentence structures accurately and proofread carefully for grammatical errors.
