Task Response

The report addresses the main trends and provides a comparison between the three categories. The overview is clear, identifying the general upward trend for globalisers and the downward trend for wealthy countries. However, there are some inaccuracies in data reporting (for example, stating globalisers started at less than 2% in 1960, whereas the description suggests 4.5%) and some grammatical inconsistencies that occasionally affect clarity. To improve, ensure that data points are reported precisely and work on the grammatical accuracy of complex sentences, particularly regarding subject-verb agreement and tense consistency.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes interrupted by awkward phrasing and grammatical errors. To improve, focus on using more effective cohesive devices and transition words to link sentences smoothly. Ensure that the relationship between different trends (e.g., comparing the rise of one group with the fall of another) is expressed clearly using comparative structures.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat limited and repetitive. There are several instances of imprecise word choices, such as 'total number of growth' (which is conceptually incorrect for percentages) and 'experienced both sides'. To reach a higher band, aim to use a wider range of academic synonyms for 'increase' (e.g., surged, climbed, escalated) and 'decrease' (e.g., plummeted, dwindled, declined). Additionally, ensure that terms like 'globalisers' are used naturally within the context of the sentence.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that occasionally hinder clarity. Issues include subject-verb agreement, incorrect article usage, and improper sentence construction (e.g., 'all these countries had significantly increase'). There are also issues with tense consistency and the use of possessives (e.g., 'GDP's growth'). I recommend practicing complex sentence structures and paying close attention to verb forms, particularly when describing trends in the past tense.
