Task Response

The report is incomplete, as it cuts off mid-sentence, which significantly impacts the ability to address the task requirements. While the writer attempts to identify key trends, such as the rise of the internet and the decline of newspapers, the response lacks a full overview and a complete summary of all data categories (Magazines and Radio are missing). Additionally, there is a tendency to confuse 'percentage of money spent' with 'number of readers/people,' which is a factual inaccuracy regarding the data type. To improve, ensure the entire response is completed, focus on describing the data as presented (spending rather than audience size), and include a clear overview of the main trends. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report lacks a clear organizational structure. While you attempt to use cohesive devices like 'First of all' and 'on the other hand', the progression of ideas is interrupted by long, run-on sentences. The report is also incomplete, ending abruptly mid-sentence, which significantly hinders the flow and prevents the reader from following a complete logical argument. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic and use punctuation (like full stops) to separate distinct ideas rather than relying on commas to connect multiple clauses.

Lexical Resource

There is a limited range of vocabulary, and some word choices are inaccurate or awkward (e.g., 'the internet become very popular', 'introducing it the local audience', 'hold a interesting analytics'). There is also a confusion between 'money spent' and 'number of readers/people', which changes the meaning of the data. Try to use more precise academic verbs such as 'projected to increase', 'fluctuated', or 'declined significantly'. Additionally, ensure you use the correct terminology for the data provided (e.g., 'percentage of expenditure' instead of 'number of readers').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and often impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement ('the internet become'), tense consistency (mixing past and present when discussing trends), and sentence structure (run-on sentences). Punctuation is also used incorrectly, particularly with commas. To improve, focus on mastering simple and compound sentence structures before attempting complex ones, and always check that your subject and verb agree in number and tense.
