Task Response

The report successfully identifies the main trend of decreasing internet usage with age and provides an overall summary. However, there are some inaccuracies in data reporting (e.g., 'almost 99%' instead of 98%, '97 percentage' instead of 95%) and minor lapses in clarity and expression (e.g., 'teenagers internet usage result', 'twentieth', 'spent most of their on using internet'). To improve, ensure precise data representation and use clearer, more accurate language. Comparisons between age groups are present but could be more explicit.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction and an overall trend, but the flow of information is often disrupted. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'Regarding to the rest of group ages'). Paragraphing is present but could be managed more effectively to improve logical progression. To improve, focus on using a wider range of linking words and phrases accurately, and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task but lacks range and sophistication. There are some attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'teenagers internet usage result'), but these are not always successful or natural. Some word choices are imprecise or informal (e.g., 'twentieth', 'a fifth percent of 100%'). To improve, work on using a wider range of precise, topic-specific vocabulary (e.g., 'cohort', 'demographic', 'usage rates') and avoid informal or unclear expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that significantly affect clarity. Issues include incorrect subject-verb agreement, missing articles, and incomplete or confusing sentence structures (e.g., 'people whose usage of internet', 'spent most of their on using internet'). Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, focus on writing simpler, clearer sentences with correct grammar, and review basic sentence structure and article usage.
