Task Response

The report addresses the task but contains inaccuracies and some misunderstandings of the data. The overall trends are noted, but specific data points are not always accurate. The writing is generally clear, but there are some issues with vocabulary and grammar. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data and proofreading for errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but there are some inconsistencies and inaccuracies that affect the flow. The introduction contains incorrect years (1980 and 2030 instead of 1950 and 2050). The organization is generally clear, but could benefit from more precise transitions and a clearer structure within paragraphs. For example, grouping countries with similar trends together could improve coherence. The final sentence is a bit abrupt and could be better integrated into the preceding discussion.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary that is generally appropriate for the task, such as 'moderate decline trend,' 'edged up,' and 'remained the same.' However, there are some inaccuracies (e.g., 'population rate' instead of 'percentage of the population') and instances where more precise vocabulary could be used to enhance the description. For example, instead of 'hit the peak,' you could use 'reached its highest point.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'China, USA and japan had a moderate decline trend' should be 'China, the USA, and Japan had a moderate decline trend.' Also, 'Speaking about the US' is a somewhat informal transition. The phrase 'India will be having' could be simplified to 'India will have.' Correcting these errors and ensuring subject-verb agreement will improve the grammatical accuracy.
