Feedback:

Thank you indeed for writing this report. Let’s address some repetitive errors:
- there is no need to write “to” after “reach” in the sentences above.
- a full sentence needs a clear subject (consult a dictionary or a grammar book for more information)
- modifiers like “nearly” or “approximately” do not necessarily need a comma either before or after them.
Referencing is an important element at IELTS, contributing to the clarity and coherence of the writing piece. To learn more about it, please read the lesson below:
