~0.2
services are expected to have highest production in both years
🖉 Missing article 'the' before 'highest production' makes the phrase ungrammatical; superlative adjectives require 'the'.
😢Grammatical Range & Accuracy - Article usage
services are expected to have the highest production in both years
~0.3
Manufacturing is also important and it is the second largest production.
🖉 Incorrect use of 'production' as a countable noun here; 'production' is uncountable and should be replaced with 'sector' or rephrased.
😢Grammatical Range & Accuracy - Word form and collocation
Manufacturing is also important and it is the second largest sector.
~0.2
The charts also include data for energy, agriculture, materials and info-com tech.

The charts also include data for energy, agriculture, materials, and info-com tech.
~0.2
In 2040, services are predicted to be 40% which will slightly decrease in 2060 to 39%.
🖉 Missing comma before the relative clause 'which will slightly decrease...' causes a run-on sentence; also 'be 40%' is awkward, better to say 'account for 40%'.
😢Grammatical Range & Accuracy - Punctuation and sentence structure
In 2040, services are predicted to account for 40%, which will slightly decrease in 2060 to 39%.
~0.2

Manufacturing is 31% in 2040 and will increase a little in 2060.
~0.3
Info-com tech is the third highest in 2040 with 15% but it will increase 2% in 2060.

Energy is 7% in 2040 but decreases by 2% in 2060.
~0.3
Agriculture is 4% and will reduce 3% in 2060.

😢Lexical Resource - Collocation issues or unnatural phrasing
services are expected to have the highest production in both years
~0.2

😢Lexical Resource - Collocation issues or unnatural phrasing
Manufacturing is also important and it is the second largest sector.
~0.3
The charts also include data for energy, agriculture, materials and info-com tech.

~0.2
In 2040, services are predicted to be 40% which will slightly decrease in 2060 to 39%.

~0.3
Info-com tech is the third highest in 2040 with 15% but it will increase 2% in 2060.
🖉 Again, 'info-com tech' is informal; also, 'increase 2%' is awkward without 'by' before the number.
😢Lexical Resource - Word form or spelling errors; Collocation issues
Information and communication technology is the third highest in 2040 with 15%, but it will increase by 2% in 2060.
~0.3

Energy is 7% in 2040 but will decrease by 2% in 2060.
~0.3
Agriculture is 4% and will reduce 3% in 2060.

😢Lexical Resource - Word form or spelling errors; Collocation issues
Agriculture is 4% and will decrease by 3% in 2060.
~0.1
Materials is the smallest sector with 3% in 2040 but will slightly increase in 2060.

Materials is the smallest sector with 3% in 2040 but will increase slightly in 2060.
~0.1
Generally, services and manufacturing remain stable, while the others will change a little.

😢Lexical Resource - Collocation issues or unnatural phrasing
Generally, services and manufacturing remain stable, while the others will change slightly.
~0.2
However, some data seems unclear and the charts do not give information about total production or other details.
🖉 'some data seems unclear' is vague and awkward; 'some of the data are unclear' or 'some data appear unclear' is better. Also, 'do not give information about total production' is slightly imprecise; 'do not provide information on total production' is more formal.
😢Lexical Resource - Collocation issues or unnatural phrasing
However, some of the data appear unclear, and the charts do not provide information on total production or other details.
+Coherence and Cohesion ~2.5'
~0.3
The charts also include data for energy, agriculture, materials and info-com tech.
🖉 The sentence lists sectors without clear grouping or logical sequencing, making the presentation feel like a list rather than a coherent introduction to the data categories.

~0.3
In 2040, services are predicted to be 40% which will slightly decrease in 2060 to 39%.

In 2040, services are predicted to be 40%, which will slightly decrease to 39% in 2060.
~0.3
Manufacturing is 31% in 2040 and will increase little in 2060.

~0.3
Info-com tech is the third highest in 2040 with 15% but it will increase 2% in 2060.

😢Coherence & Cohesion – Logical progression (PEEL: Explain)
Info-com tech is the third highest in 2040 with 15%, and it will increase by 2% in 2060.
~0.3
Energy is 7% in 2040 but decrease 2% in 2060.

~0.3
However, some data seems unclear and the charts do not give information about total production or other details.

😢Coherence & Cohesion – Logical progression (PEEL: Link)
It should be noted that the charts do not provide information about total production or other details.
+Task Response ~2.5'
~0.3
The charts also include data for energy, agriculture, materials and info-com tech.
🖉 The sentence lists all sectors without prioritising or identifying key features, treating minor sectors equally with major ones, which dilutes focus on main trends.

The charts also include data for smaller sectors such as energy, agriculture, materials, and info-com tech.
~0.3
Manufacturing is 31% in 2040 and will increase little in 2060.

~0.3
Energy is 7% in 2040 but decrease 2% in 2060.

Energy is 7% in 2040 but will decrease to 5% in 2060.
~0.3
Agriculture is 4% and will reduce 3% in 2060.

~0.3
Materials is the smallest sector with 3% in 2040 but will slightly increase in 2060.

~0.3
However, some data seems unclear and the charts do not give information about total production or other details.
🖉 This sentence introduces irrelevant commentary about the data source rather than reporting or interpreting the data, which is off-task.
