Task Response

The report covers the main trends and makes relevant comparisons. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported and the language could be more precise. To improve, ensure data accuracy by double-checking the chart and use a wider range of vocabulary to describe trends and quantities. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a general overview and identifies some key trends, but the organization could be improved for better flow. The progression of information sometimes feels disjointed, and clearer transitions between paragraphs would enhance coherence. For example, linking the overall statement more explicitly to the subsequent details would help. Also, avoid using pronouns without clear reference.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally adequate for the task, but there's room to enhance the range and precision. Consider using more varied synonyms for terms like 'proportion' and 'increased.' Incorporating more specific vocabulary related to trends and data description would also elevate the report.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and accurate preposition usage. Sentence structure could also be varied to improve readability. Proofreading carefully for these errors is essential.
