Task Response

The report attempts to address the task and provides a description of the trends for the three websites. However, there are significant issues with data accuracy and consistency that detract from the overall achievement. There are several instances where the reported figures contradict the visual description (for example, the values for Facebook and Bebo), and some dates mentioned in the report do not align with the data provided. To improve, ensure that the data points extracted from the graph are recorded accurately and that the trends described are logically supported by those numbers. Additionally, focus on maintaining a clear overview that summarizes the main trends without getting lost in contradictory specific details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure by dedicating paragraphs to different websites, but the progression of ideas is hindered by several issues. There are spacing errors after punctuation (e.g., 'Overall,all', 'However,facebook') which disrupt the visual flow. Additionally, the use of cohesive devices is somewhat repetitive, and some transitions between sentences feel abrupt. To improve, ensure there is always a space after a comma or period, and try to use a wider variety of linking words to connect trends (e.g., 'In contrast', 'Conversely', 'Following this period').

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used to describe trends (e.g., 'jumped', 'outpaced', 'fluctuated', 'rose significantly') is appropriate for the task, but there are several spelling and word choice errors that affect precision. For instance, 'beba' is used instead of 'Bebo', and 'the fluctuated' is grammatically incorrect. There is also some confusion in the use of prepositions (e.g., 'Visits in beba' instead of 'Visits to Bebo'). Aim for higher precision in naming the subjects and ensure that spelling is consistent with the provided data.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede the reader's understanding. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'websites experiences'), article usage, and sentence structure (e.g., 'This figure the fluctuated'). There are also errors in how dates and percentages are expressed. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence structures, particularly subject-verb agreement and the correct use of articles (the/a/an). Additionally, practice using complex sentences to combine observations, such as 'While Myspace saw a decline, Facebook experienced a significant surge.'
