The bar chart shows the percentage of students’ favorite subjects from two different middle schools.

It is clear that sport is the most popular subject in school A, and science is the least popular one in school B. Apart from that, while the figure for drawing is the highest in school B, it becomes the lowest in school A.

In school A, students who love math, science, literature and drawing share similar proportion, which all under 20%. However, PE class shows a massive contrast, which receives over 70% of students’ liking. In school B, sport and science are the least beloved classes, only around 10% and 4% of students like them. By contrast, drawing and literature are the most favorite subjects, which at about 50% and 38% respectively.

Examining the data in detail, while math is the only subject that shows the smallest gap, all the other four categories has a huge gap in proportion between two schools.

Task Response

The report covers the main features of the bar chart and makes relevant comparisons between the two schools. There are some inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., science in school B, drawing and literature in school B), and the organization could be improved by grouping information more logically. To improve, ensure data accuracy and consider a clearer structure, perhaps dedicating paragraphs to specific comparisons or trends.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The information is presented logically, and the comparisons between the two schools are clear. However, the transitions between some sentences could be smoother to enhance the overall flow. For example, in the second paragraph, connecting the general observation about school A to the specific data points could be improved. Also, consider using a wider range of cohesive devices to link ideas more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and generally appropriate for the task. There is room to enhance the lexical resource by incorporating more precise and varied language to describe the data. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'like' or 'favorite,' consider synonyms such as 'prefer,' 'enjoy,' or 'are keen on.' Also, using more specific terms to describe the proportions (e.g., 'a significant majority,' 'a small minority') could add sophistication to the report. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar, with only a few minor errors. While the sentence structures are generally accurate, there is potential to incorporate a wider range of complex sentences to enhance the grammatical range. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and correct use of prepositions. Reviewing and correcting the identified grammar errors will further improve the accuracy of the report.
