Task Response

The report generally addresses the task but contains some inaccuracies and a lack of specific data. The description of the dolphin numbers is not entirely accurate, and the report could benefit from more precise data points to support the overall trends. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data and providing specific figures to enhance clarity and credibility.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report's organization is somewhat unclear, and the transitions between ideas could be smoother. The overall structure needs improvement to enhance readability. For example, the overall trends should be clearly stated in the introduction or immediately after it, and each paragraph should focus on a specific aspect of the data. Consider using more cohesive devices to link sentences and paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive. There is a lack of precision in describing the data. For example, instead of saying 'achieved a level just over 20,' you could use more specific terms like 'increased to 22.' To improve, try to incorporate a wider range of vocabulary related to trends and comparisons, such as 'peaked,' 'remained constant,' 'fluctuated,' 'surpassed,' etc. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity. Sentence structure is often awkward, and there are issues with subject-verb agreement, tense usage, and article usage. For example, 'numbers of dolphins were stable increased' is grammatically incorrect. To improve, focus on constructing grammatically correct sentences and proofread carefully for errors. Pay attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles and prepositions.
