The diagram illustrates the process how the Australian Bureau of Meteorology explores up-to-the-minute data on the weather to provide proved forecast.

Overall, meteorologers has three ways to collect the reliable prospects of the weather for preparing the broadcast and spread it to social media to announce people.

Looking at the system, the setillite allows to take a look at the view from the space globally that assists to predict the further weather, while the radar depicts the map locally to reflect the detailed expectations of the weather conditions. Meanwhile, the drifting buoy sends the synoptic chart to warn the changes and pressures from the water.

When the whole picture is completed, it is analysed either the documents or the photos to produce forecasts in order to prepare the broadcast through computer apps, and eventually it is sent the given news of the weather to commucations, including TV programmes, radio news,recorders announcement.

Task Response

The report addresses the main stages of the process and provides a general overview. However, there are some inaccuracies in how the data sources are described (for example, suggesting a buoy sends a synoptic chart rather than being a source of data alongside it). To improve, ensure that the relationships between the components are described more accurately according to the diagram. Additionally, focus on improving grammatical precision and word choice, as some phrasing is slightly awkward or imprecise (e.g., 'explores up-to-the-minute data' or 'spread it to social media').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical progression, moving from the data collection stage to the final broadcast. However, the cohesion is weakened by awkward phrasing and incorrect use of linking words. To improve, focus on using more natural transitional phrases (e.g., 'Following this,' 'Once the data is collected,') and ensure that the relationship between sentences is clear. The paragraphing is present but the internal flow of ideas within paragraphs is sometimes interrupted by grammatical errors.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use topic-specific vocabulary (e.g., 'meteorologers', 'synoptic chart', 'drifting buoy'), which is good. However, there are several instances of word choice errors that affect precision, such as 'explores up-to-the-minute data' instead of 'collects', 'proved forecast' instead of 'reliable forecast', and 'reliable prospects' instead of 'weather information'. Work on learning collocations (words that naturally go together) to ensure your vocabulary sounds more natural and academic.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede communication. Issues include subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'meteorologers has'), incorrect preposition usage, and sentence structure errors (e.g., 'it is analysed either the documents'). There is a mix of simple and complex structures, but the accuracy of the complex structures is low. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence structures, particularly passive voice (which is essential for process diagrams) and ensuring subject-verb agreement.
