Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by identifying the main trends and making relevant comparisons between the two years. The overview is clear, and the data is presented logically. To improve, ensure better grammatical control over sentence structures, particularly when connecting independent clauses (avoiding comma splices). Additionally, minor refinements in word choice and precision regarding the data (e.g., ensuring the distinction between 'cell phones' and 'digital cameras' is consistently clear) would enhance the overall flow and professional tone.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure, moving from an introduction to an overview and then to specific details. However, the cohesion is weakened by several run-on sentences and a lack of appropriate punctuation (such as full stops or semicolons) to separate independent clauses. For example, in the third and fourth paragraphs, multiple distinct ideas are joined together without proper connectors, which makes the flow feel rushed and occasionally difficult to follow. To improve, ensure that each new thought or comparison is introduced with a clear transition word or a new sentence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate and shows a good attempt at variety (e.g., 'proportion', 'recorded', 'significantly rose'). There is a good use of comparative language. However, there are some awkward phrasings, such as 'the opposite was true for digital cameras in the given nation' and 'cell and digital recorded', which lack precision. Using more specific nouns (e.g., 'mobile phones' instead of just 'cell') and ensuring that adjectives and nouns are paired naturally will enhance the sophistication of the report.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent errors in sentence boundaries. The most significant issue is the use of comma splices and run-on sentences, where two or more independent clauses are joined without correct punctuation or conjunctions. For instance, 'In 2002, cell and digital recorded 2% and 20% the lowest proportion...' needs a conjunction or a period to separate the data from the description. Improving your control over punctuation, particularly the use of full stops to separate distinct observations, will significantly raise this score.
