Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by summarizing the main features of the bar chart and making some comparisons. The overview is present and identifies key trends. The report includes relevant data, although there are some minor inaccuracies in the numbers reported (e.g., the population of Birmingham). To improve, ensure all data cited is accurate and consider a more structured approach to comparing and contrasting the salaries across different cities.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a reasonable overview of the data, but the organization could be improved. The introduction provides a general statement, but the subsequent paragraphs lack clear topic sentences to guide the reader. Transitions between sentences and paragraphs could be smoother to enhance the flow of information. Consider grouping cities with similar income levels together to facilitate comparisons.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and variety. For instance, instead of repeatedly using "average income," you could incorporate synonyms like "mean salary" or "earnings." Also, try to use more specific language to describe the differences in income levels, such as "significantly higher" or "marginally lower." Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. Pay closer attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and proper sentence structure. Proofreading carefully before submitting your report can help identify and correct these errors. For example, sentences like "most of the high generating income are from the towns of England" need to be revised for grammatical accuracy.
