Task Response

The report attempts to describe the bar chart but contains significant inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data. The organization is somewhat unclear, and the language contains errors that impede understanding. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data from the chart, organizing the information logically (e.g., by category or gender), and using precise language to describe the trends and figures. Proofread carefully to correct grammatical errors and improve clarity. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report lacks clear organization and paragraphing. The information is not presented in a logical order, making it difficult to follow the main trends and comparisons. The introduction is weak and doesn't provide a clear overview of the chart's content. The body paragraphs lack focus and contain irrelevant details. The writing would benefit from a clearer structure with distinct paragraphs for different categories or trends.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and lacks precision. There is overuse of simple words and phrases, and limited use of more sophisticated vocabulary to describe the data accurately. The report would benefit from a wider range of vocabulary to express the information more effectively. For example, instead of saying 'men dominate girls,' you could use more precise language to describe the differences in leisure time. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward sentence structures. These errors affect the clarity and accuracy of the writing. The report would benefit from careful proofreading and editing to correct these errors and improve the overall grammatical accuracy.
