coherence cohesion
Introduction is brief and somewhat effective but could be improved with a clearer overview. Main points are visible but lack depth in analysis. Consider using a wider range of cohesive devices to enhance the flow of information. Use clear topic sentences to start each paragraph, ensuring that the subsequent sentences follow logically. The conclusion is missing, which affects the overall structure of the response.
task achievement
You have addressed the task by summarising the main features of the charts, however, the full implications of the data are not thoroughly explained. Work on developing specific examples to support the percentages mentioned. Avoid merely listing data - interpret it to provide a more comprehensive response.
