Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main trends and making relevant comparisons. It covers the key data points, including the highest and lowest audience figures, and groups events logically. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are a few minor omissions and inaccuracies: the Euro 2016 event is not mentioned, and the figure for the Beijing 2008 Olympics is slightly off (3.5b vs. 3.6b). Additionally, the phrasing could be more precise in places, such as 'the amount of people' should be 'the number of people.' Overall, the report is well-organized and meets the task requirements.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by abrupt transitions and a lack of cohesive devices. For example, the sentence 'Both in 2008 Beijing olympics and in 2012 London olympics,the total number of viewers was around 3.5 billion.' lacks a smooth connection to the previous paragraph. Additionally, the final paragraph begins with 'Despite having been the event with the least amount of viewers on the list when considered by mere numbers,' which is wordy and slightly confusing. To improve, use a range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'In contrast,' 'Similarly,') and ensure each paragraph has a clear topic sentence that guides the reader.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is generally appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at variation (e.g., 'global popularity,' 'accounted for,' 'collected'). However, there are some inaccuracies and repetitions. For instance, 'sport events' should be 'sporting events,' and 'olympics' should be capitalized as 'Olympics.' The phrase 'the event with the least amount of viewers on the list when considered by mere numbers' is awkward and could be simplified. To improve, use more precise and natural collocations (e.g., 'attracted an audience of,' 'reached a viewership of') and avoid informal or imprecise terms like 'amount' for countable items (use 'number').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and some passive constructions. However, there are several errors that affect clarity. For example, 'the amount of people' should be 'the number of people,' and 'Both in 2008 Beijing olympics and in 2012 London olympics,the total number...' has a missing space after the comma and should be 'Both the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics had a total number...' Additionally, 'the number decreased to 3.2b' is correct, but 'same as Rio olympics 2016' is a fragment. To improve, proofread for punctuation and article usage, and ensure subject-verb agreement and sentence completeness.
