The bar charts compare the percentages of a medicine company’s sales in three different areas, Asia, Europe and America between 2002 and 2006.

Overall, rises were seen in the figure for Asia, while declining proportions were held by Europe and America. Additionally, the trends of these two decreasing regions recorded opposite patterns throughout the period, but eventually ended at the similar level.

Regarding the only region displaying an upwards trend, despite accounting for the smallest share of the company’s sales in 2002, only a quarter, Asia showed a steady climb over the period to end up as the dominant consumer at 40%.

In terms of the two remaining areas, Europe and America, the latter started as the heaviest purchaser, at 41% and the former also recorded a comparable figure of 34%. The rest of the period witnessed markedly contrasting patterns from these two regions: America regressed to 27% in 2004 before rebounding to 30% in 2006; Europe, however, rose to account for 38% in 2004 but then dropped to 30%, matching the figure for America.

Task Response

The report fully satisfies the requirements of the task. It provides a clear overview of the main trends and makes effective comparisons between the regions. The data is reported accurately according to the visual description, and the progression of information is logical and well-structured. The use of varied vocabulary to describe trends and proportions is excellent.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized, with a clear progression of ideas. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Regarding', and 'In terms of' helps guide the reader through the comparison effectively. Paragraphing is logical, separating the overview from the specific details. To reach a higher band, ensure that the transitions between sentences within paragraphs are even more seamless to avoid any slight mechanical feel.

Lexical Resource

The candidate uses a good range of vocabulary to describe trends, such as 'dominant consumer', 'rebounding', 'regressed', and 'comparable figure'. There is an attempt to use sophisticated phrasing to avoid repetition. To improve, focus on the precision of word choices; for example, 'declining proportions were held by' is slightly awkward, and 'heaviest purchaser' might be better expressed as 'largest market share' in the context of sales percentages.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a strong command of complex sentence structures, particularly when using subordinate clauses to provide detail (e.g., 'despite accounting for...'). Most sentences are error-free. There are minor issues with phrasing and article usage that do not impede communication, but refining these would enhance the overall professional tone of the report.
