The given charts reveal the information about perceived hazard and tendency of being victim of crimes in two different periods, according to crimes’ categories.

Overall it can be seen that in average, car crime had the highest figures in both perceived and actual likelihood of being victims comparing to other types. Moreover, perceived dangers had higher percentage than the actual tendencies.

Burglary and violent crime had the same figures in perceived hazard in both 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, which were accounted for just over 15% and approximately 14%, respectively. However, there were slight differences in actual likelihood in both periods.

Car crime, which had the highest figures of all types, had just above one-fifth of all perceived danger from 2009 to 2010, and had around 17% of perceived danger. Additionally, the actual likelihood of being victims had decreased minimally from almost 5% to around 4%.

Task Response

The report covers the main features of the graph and makes relevant comparisons. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, the actual likelihood of car crime did not decrease to around 4%, it remained at 5%. To improve, ensure all data is accurately represented and consider including more specific data points to support your overall summary. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a generally clear overview of the data, but the organization could be improved for better flow. Consider grouping information more thematically, such as discussing each crime type separately and comparing the perceived vs. actual likelihood within each. The final sentence is slightly inaccurate and could be clarified. For example, the actual likelihood of car crime remained at 5% in both periods, rather than decreasing to 4%. Proofreading for accuracy is important.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there's room to enhance the range and precision. For instance, instead of 'had the highest figures,' you could use 'represented the largest proportion.' Varying your vocabulary will make the report more engaging and demonstrate a better command of the language. Also, be careful with word choice; 'hazard' is not the best fit; 'danger' or 'risk' would be more appropriate.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable grasp of grammar, but there are noticeable errors that affect clarity. For example, 'in average' should be 'on average,' and 'comparing to other types' should be 'compared to other types.' Pay close attention to prepositions and articles. While the errors don't completely obscure the meaning, correcting them would significantly improve the report's overall quality. Proofreading carefully is essential.
