The image presents two graphs on the number of buildings constructed between 1980 and 2020. A line graph shows the number of buildings by architecture type for the years 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020: Traditional buildings numbered 920, 700, 500, 280, and 200, respectively; Modern buildings numbered 200, 400, 600, 800, and 970; Postmodern buildings numbered 80, 150, 200, 250, and 330; and High-tech buildings numbered 50, 100, 150, 320, and 500. A bar chart displays the total number of buildings constructed for the same years: 1,250 (1980), 1,350 (1990), 1,450 (2000), 1,650 (2010), and 2,000 (2020).

Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

The line graph illustrates the number of buildings constructed by type of architecture from 1980 to 2020. The chart shows the total number of buildings constructed in the same years.

Overall, the traditional buildings decreased sharply, the number of traditional buildings declined sharply, while modern buildings showed the opposite trend and increased dramatically. The total number of buildings constructed also rose steadily, reaching its highest point in 2020.

In 1980, the traditional buildings accounted for the largest share of the total number of new buildings, and peaked, the number of buildings was just under 1,000. The number of modern buidings were around 200. Some types of architecture were the smallest categories, such as postmodern and high-tech constructions, fewer than 200 pieces.

In 2020 the distribution had changed, the number of traditional buildings fell sharply, and they became the least common type for buidlings constructed, around 200 pieces. Modern buildings showed the opposite pattern, it rose dromatically and became the most common type of buildings constructed. The style reached a peak of about 1,000 pieces. Both postmodern and high-tech buildings increased gradually, although their numbers remained much lower that those of modern buildings until 2020. Buildings in postmodern style were built 400 pieces, and high-tech constructions were built more 400 pieces.

The total number of buildings constructed rose steaduly. In 1980, the traditional buildings occupied the biggets part of the total number was 1,250. The trend was upward, in 2020, the total number peaked 2,000 buildings were constructed, the modern constructions occupied the largest part of the total number.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by identifying the main trends and making relevant comparisons between the different architectural styles and the total number of buildings. The overview is clear and summarizes the primary shifts in the data. To improve, focus on grammatical precision and sentence structure; there are several instances of comma splices and repetitive phrasing (e.g., 'the traditional buildings decreased sharply, the number of traditional buildings declined sharply'). Additionally, ensure more consistent use of units (e.g., using 'units' or 'buildings' rather than 'pieces') and refine the accuracy of data descriptions to avoid redundancy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report suffers from significant issues with sentence structure and logical flow. There is frequent use of comma splices (joining two independent sentences with only a comma), which disrupts the reading experience. For example, 'In 2020 the distribution had changed, the number of traditional buildings fell sharply...' should be two separate sentences or joined with a conjunction. Additionally, some sentences are repetitive, such as in the overview where the decline of traditional buildings is stated twice in slightly different ways. To improve, focus on using subordinating conjunctions (e.g., 'while', 'whereas', 'although') to connect ideas and ensure each sentence contains a single, clear thought.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is functional but lacks the sophistication required for higher bands. There is a repetitive use of words like 'buildings' and 'constructed'. There are also several spelling errors (e.g., 'buidings', 'dromatically', 'steaduly', 'biggets') and awkward phrasing, such as 'built 400 pieces' or 'more 400 pieces', which is not natural English. Instead of 'pieces', use 'units', 'structures', or simply refer to the number of buildings. Try to incorporate more varied synonyms for 'increase' and 'decrease' and ensure correct word forms are used. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and sometimes impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'The number of modern buidings were' should be 'was'), and several instances of run-on sentences. The phrasing 'the traditional buildings occupied the biggets part of the total number was 1,250' is grammatically incorrect and confusing. To improve, practice constructing complex sentences using relative clauses (e.g., 'Modern buildings, which started at 200 in 1980, rose to...') and ensure that your sentence structures are complete and grammatically sound.
