Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by mentioning the different age groups and activities, but it lacks sufficient detail and clarity. The introduction is grammatically incomplete, and the overview does not effectively summarize the main trends. The body paragraphs attempt to describe the data, but the descriptions are often vague (e.g., 'they are similar to', 'they are increased') and lack the specific numerical data required to support the comparisons. To improve, ensure that every main feature is supported by data from the chart and focus on using comparative structures (e.g., 'higher than', 'the lowest proportion') to clearly highlight the relationships between the categories.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the report is somewhat logical as it attempts to group information by age group. However, the progression of ideas is hindered by poor sentence structure and repetitive phrasing. To improve, use a wider variety of cohesive devices (e.g., 'In contrast,' 'Similarly,' 'Regarding...') and ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic. Avoid starting every sentence with the same subject-verb pattern.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is quite limited and often repetitive (e.g., 'in the part of', 'the age group of'). There are also instances of incorrect word forms, such as 'they are fell' or 'they are increased'. To reach a higher band, aim to use more precise academic verbs for describing trends (e.g., 'fluctuated', 'remained stable', 'surpassed') and vary your synonyms for 'children' and 'activities'. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and significantly impact the readability of the report. There are issues with subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and sentence fragments (e.g., the introductory sentence is not a complete clause). Many sentences attempt to use complex structures but fail due to incorrect syntax. Focus on mastering basic sentence structures, particularly the use of the passive voice and correct tense usage when describing historical data.
