On the other hand, yearly payment of each worker has a noticeable variation in annual cost per capita. Big scale gives far better pay than small scale fisheries industry with approximately 100 times more, which is 25,000-35,000. Also, annual fuel/oil consumption for each vessel also has a huge difference,65,000 gallons consumption on a big scale, while only 8,500 gallons are consumed on a small scale. The number of workers varies in both the businesses surprisingly with just 5,00,000 enrollment in big scale and 120,000,000 enrollment in small scale.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the data from the visual, but it contains several inaccuracies and misinterpretations. The description of the charts is confused with the provided visual description, which is about marine fishing, not trade between Australia and China as stated in the task. The report also misstates some figures (e.g., annual pay for big scale is given as £25,000-£35,000 instead of £25,000-£350,000) and includes irrelevant comparisons. To improve, focus on accurately summarizing the main features of the given charts, making clear comparisons where relevant, and ensuring the data is correctly reported. Avoid introducing unrelated information or misinterpreting the visual's context.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and a body paragraph, but the flow of information could be improved. The use of cohesive devices like 'while' and 'also' is somewhat repetitive, and some sentences are overly long or awkwardly connected, which slightly hinders readability. To improve, try using a wider range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly', 'furthermore') and ensure each paragraph focuses on a clear set of comparisons or features. Paragraphing is present but could be more skillfully managed to separate different aspects of the data.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate but lacks the range and sophistication expected for a higher score. There are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'two various fisheries businesses', 'yearly income of employees in each business', and 'annual fuel/oil consumption for each vessel'. The report also uses informal or imprecise terms like 'catched' and 'enrollment'. To improve, aim for more precise and varied vocabulary (e.g., 'commercial fishing operations', 'remuneration', 'fuel usage per vessel') and avoid errors by proofreading. The lexical resource is functional but not fully flexible or natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and issues with sentence structure. For example, 'the two various fisheries businesses' is awkward, 'catched' is incorrect (should be 'caught'), and there are missing articles and punctuation problems (e.g., '65,000 gallons consumption on a big scale'). Some sentences are run-ons or lack clarity. While a range of structures is attempted, control is inconsistent. To improve, focus on using correct verb forms, articles, and punctuation, and practice constructing clearer, more varied sentences. Greater accuracy and flexibility in grammar would significantly enhance the report.
