Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data. Key trends are misreported (e.g., film club numbers, musical performances, amateur dramatics), and some descriptions are vague or incorrect. The overall structure is present, but the content is often inaccurate, which detracts from task achievement. To improve, focus on accurately identifying and reporting the main trends and making clear comparisons, ensuring that the data presented aligns with the visual information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs, but the flow is often disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. For example, the overview mentions 'highest figures recorded for these members are approximately 65' without specifying which activity, and the phrase 'whereas intially, the lowest figures recorded for musical performances as no member involved by 2005' is confusing. The body paragraphs jump between activities without clear signposting, making it harder for the reader to follow. To improve, use clear topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure each paragraph focuses on a coherent set of comparisons. Also, use cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly') more effectively to link ideas.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'decreased slightly', 'sharp increase', 'fluctuations'), but there are frequent spelling errors (e.g., 'intially', 'memeber', 'catagory', 'incresed', 'decresed', 'beacuse') and awkward word choices (e.g., 'the numbers of the members decresed steadily', 'a sharp rise have seen'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and some phrases are repetitive. To improve, expand your vocabulary for describing data (e.g., 'plateau', 'peak', 'dip', 'surge') and practice using precise terms. Also, proofread to eliminate spelling errors, as they detract from the overall quality.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'The line graph illustrate' should be 'illustrates'), incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'a steady incresed have seen' should be 'a steady increase has been seen'), and inconsistent tense usage. There are also issues with articles and prepositions (e.g., 'the numbers of attendees' vs. 'the number of attendees', 'in this catagory' should be 'in this category'). The range of sentence structures is limited, with many simple sentences and some fragments. To improve, review basic grammar rules, especially subject-verb agreement and tense consistency. Practice using a variety of complex structures, such as relative clauses and conditional sentences, and ensure each sentence is complete and correctly punctuated.
