Task Response

The report adequately covers the main trends and makes relevant comparisons. However, there are some omissions, such as not mentioning the specific percentages for newspapers in the conclusion. To improve, ensure all key data points are addressed and that the language is precise and varied.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize information, but the flow could be improved. Transitions between ideas are sometimes abrupt, affecting the overall coherence. Paragraphing is generally acceptable, but could be more effectively used to group related ideas. For example, the shift from discussing traditional media to the Internet could be smoother with better transitional phrases. To improve cohesion, use a wider range of cohesive devices to link ideas and sentences more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a satisfactory range of vocabulary, but there are instances where word choice could be more precise. Some phrases are slightly awkward or unnatural. To enhance lexical resource, focus on using more specific and varied vocabulary related to trends and comparisons. For example, instead of 'a huge percentage,' consider using 'a significant proportion' or 'a considerable number.' Also, ensure that the vocabulary used is appropriate for the context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report exhibits a fair range of grammatical structures, but there are noticeable errors in grammar and sentence construction. These errors occasionally impede understanding. To improve grammatical accuracy, carefully review and correct common errors such as subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and article usage. Practice using a wider range of sentence structures to add complexity and sophistication to your writing. Pay close attention to punctuation to ensure clarity.
