Task Response

The report covers the requirements of the task and identifies the main trends, such as the dominance of washing machines and TVs and the low prevalence of digital cameras. It makes relevant comparisons between the two years. However, there are some inaccuracies in data reporting (e.g., stating cell phones were 20% in 2002 but then describing them as part of the 'lowest figure' alongside digital cameras, and some confusion in the phrasing of growth for computers and dishwashers). To improve, ensure that data points are linked clearly to their specific categories and refine the grammatical structures used to describe trends to avoid ambiguity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the cohesion is frequently disrupted by grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. There are several instances of fragmented sentences (e.g., 'Which after it dramatically increased...') and repetitive use of certain structures. To improve, focus on using cohesive devices (like 'In contrast', 'Furthermore', or 'Regarding...') more naturally and ensure that every sentence is a complete, grammatically sound unit. Avoid starting sentences with 'Which' in this context.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is sufficient to convey the main ideas, but there is significant repetition and several errors in word choice and formation (e.g., 'households electronic goods', 'digital camere', 'proprotion'). The student attempts to use varied language (e.g., 'steadily rose', 'dramatically increased'), but the accuracy is inconsistent. Aim to use more precise collocations, such as 'the percentage of households owning...' rather than 'households electronic items'. Pay close attention to spelling to avoid losing marks for accuracy.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede the reader's understanding. There are issues with subject-verb agreement, article usage, and sentence structure. For example, 'washing machine and color TVs recorded...' should be plural, and 'the highest proportion of households choose electronic items' is a clunky construction. There is a heavy reliance on simple structures, and when complex structures are attempted, they often fail (e.g., the use of relative clauses). To improve, practice combining sentences using subordinating conjunctions and ensure that noun-adjective agreements are correct.
