Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the main trends and making comparisons between the two companies. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., FedEx starting at 15,000 in 1920, not 15,000; TNT reaching 25,000, not 24,500) and some irrelevant or unclear phrasing (e.g., 'half members' amount', 'one-third feedback'). The structure is present but could be more coherent, and the language contains errors that affect clarity. To improve, focus on accurately reporting key figures, using clearer comparisons, and proofreading for grammatical and lexical accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report attempts to present an overview and some comparisons, but the message is often difficult to follow due to unclear referencing and illogical progression. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'as the same time', 'even they encountered each others'). Paragraphing is present but not skilfully managed, as the second paragraph mixes overall trends with specific data. To improve, focus on a clear structure: one paragraph for the overall trend and one for detailed comparisons, using clear linking words like 'in contrast', 'similarly', and 'while'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and often inappropriate for the task. Words like 'feedback', 'reaction', 'option', and 'members' are used incorrectly instead of 'parcels', 'deliveries', or 'figures'. There is also a misspelling of 'delivered' and 'enormously'. The range of vocabulary is narrow, and there is little attempt to use synonyms or precise terms. To improve, learn and practice using accurate vocabulary for describing data (e.g., 'figures', 'numbers', 'deliveries', 'peaked', 'declined', 'surpassed').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains frequent grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that significantly hinder understanding. Examples include 'the amount of the dilevered parcels', 'FedEx emerges as a dominant percel-brand with half members' amount', and 'TNT had accomplished 25000 result'. Sentence structures are often incomplete or incorrectly formed. Punctuation is also inconsistent (e.g., missing commas, incorrect use of dashes). To improve, focus on basic sentence construction, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of tenses. Practice writing simple, clear sentences before attempting more complex structures.
