The table displays 4 indicators of economic and social categories for Canada, Japan, Peru and Zaire in 1994, relying to statistics by United Nations.

Overall, it can be seen that Japan’s life expectancy at birth was the highest category among all 4 countries, whereas Zaire had the smallest number of life expectancy at birth. In addition, the proportion of adult literacy rate in Canada was the same as in percentages of Japan’s rate.

Firstly, Japan’s annual sales per person had the highest number of dollars(15760) , which is considerably higher than in two geographic places namely Peru(160$) and Zaire(130$). While Canada’s rate of adult literacy rate accounted for 99%, the rate in Peru was significantly lower by 31%.

Secondly, Canada and Japan demonstrated the highest number of life expectancy at birth:the former made up 76% and the latter accounted for just over a three-fourth(78%).Moreover, Zaire was the most common country in terms of daily calorie supply per person(1749) , which is smalller than the number of calorie in all 3 countries.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task and covers the main indicators, but there are significant issues with data accuracy and logical consistency. Most notably, the report identifies 'Zaire' instead of 'Angola' (though this is noted as a minor error in context of the prompt) and, more critically, describes Zaire/Angola as having the 'most common' calorie supply when it actually has the lowest. Additionally, there is a confusion between percentages and years regarding life expectancy (e.g., stating life expectancy was 76%). To improve, ensure that the relationship between the data and the units (years vs. percentages vs. dollars) is correctly identified, and double-check that superlatives like 'highest' or 'most common' accurately reflect the numerical values provided.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a basic structure, but the progression of ideas is occasionally disrupted by logical inconsistencies. While you use cohesive devices like 'Overall', 'Firstly', and 'Secondly', some transitions feel mechanical. There is a significant issue with the logical flow in the final paragraph, where you describe a country as being the 'most common' in terms of calorie supply, which does not make sense in this context. To improve, ensure that your linking words actually reflect the relationship between the data points (e.g., using 'In contrast' instead of just 'Secondly' when comparing high and low values).

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is somewhat limited and often used inaccurately. For example, 'annual sales per person' is used instead of 'annual income', and 'geographic places' is an unnatural way to refer to countries. Additionally, calling a country 'the most common' in terms of calorie supply is a misuse of the word 'common'. Try to use more precise academic synonyms for comparison, such as 'significantly higher', 'minimal', or 'respectively'. Be careful with word forms, such as using 'percentages of Japan's rate' which is redundant.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that impact the clarity of the report. There is confusion between percentages and absolute numbers (e.g., describing life expectancy in years as '76%' and 'three-fourth'). There are also issues with preposition usage (e.g., 'relying to statistics') and sentence structure. To improve, focus on the distinction between different units of measurement (dollars, years, percentages, and calories) and ensure that your mathematical comparisons (e.g., 'lower by 31%') are grammatically sound and logically accurate.
