Task Response

The report covers the main features of the bar chart, including overall trends and comparisons between the two years and groups. The structure is logical, with an overview and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies in data (e.g., '60%' for Australian-born in cities in 2010 should be '63%', and the description of rural areas in 1995 is reversed). Additionally, there are grammatical errors and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'Highest propotion', 'individuals prefer', 'had remaind'). To improve, focus on accurate data reporting and proofread for grammar and word choice. Ensure comparisons are clear and precise.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an overview and body paragraphs, but the flow is disrupted by unclear referencing and awkward phrasing. For example, 'Overall, Highest propotion of individuals prefer to live in cities in both years' is a good start, but the sentence structure is choppy. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph focuses on a specific comparison or time period. Use cohesive devices like 'in contrast', 'similarly', and 'while' more effectively to link ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is limited and contains several errors and inappropriate word choices, such as 'propotion', 'polulation', 'outsider's', 'human being', 'acomodation', 'recored', 'attarcted', and 'surge'. There is some attempt at variation (e.g., 'significantly', 'slight surge'), but overall the range is narrow and lacks precision. To improve, learn and use more precise terms for describing data (e.g., 'proportion', 'residents', 'foreign-born', 'accommodation', 'recorded', 'attracted', 'increase'). Avoid informal or vague language like 'human being'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains frequent grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement ('people who living'), incorrect verb tenses ('had remaind', 'had recored'), missing articles, and incorrect plural forms ('towns had recorded the smallest share of polulation'). Sentence structures are mostly simple and repetitive. To improve, practice using a wider range of structures (e.g., complex sentences with relative clauses, conditionals) and proofread for basic errors. Focus on correct past tense usage and subject-verb agreement.
