Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by identifying some trends, such as the popularity of watching TV and playing video games. However, the response is hindered by significant issues with clarity and data accuracy. There are frequent grammatical errors and spelling mistakes that occasionally make the meaning difficult to follow. Additionally, the report fails to provide a clear, organized comparison of all age groups across all activities, and some sentences are incomplete or lack logical structure. To improve, focus on organizing the information into logical paragraphs (Introduction, Overview, and Detail paragraphs) and ensure that every sentence is grammatically complete and clearly relates to the data provided.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of ideas is somewhat disjointed, making it difficult for the reader to follow the logical flow of the report. While there is an attempt to use cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'Meanwhile', 'Nevertheless'), they are often used incorrectly or placed in a way that disrupts the sentence structure. To improve, focus on grouping similar data points together and using transition words to show clear relationships between sentences, such as comparing high values versus low values.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and contains frequent spelling errors (e.g., 'countryes', 'tipes', 'tipe', 'midele', 'ocupied', 'numer', 'childrem', 'acording'). There is also repetitive use of basic words. To improve, work on spelling accuracy and try to use a wider range of synonyms for 'show' (e.g., 'illustrate', 'depict', 'reveal') and 'percentage' (e.g., 'proportion', 'share', 'ratio').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and significantly impact the clarity of the message. There are issues with subject-verb agreement, sentence fragments (e.g., 'Only 35 percentage of children from 12 to 15 years old.'), and incorrect word forms (e.g., 'most higher'). Additionally, the use of 'percentage' as a count noun is incorrect; it should be 'percent' or 'the percentage of'. Focus on mastering basic sentence structures and ensuring that every sentence has a clear subject and a finite verb.
