Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by highlighting the key trends and comparing the two time periods. The overview is clear and identifies the most significant changes, such as the emergence of IT and the disappearance of certain courses. Data is used appropriately to support the descriptions. To improve, ensure more precise use of comparative language and grammatical accuracy (e.g., 'a new IT course' instead of 'new IT course'). The structure is logical, though the final sentence could be integrated more smoothly into the preceding paragraph.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes interrupted by awkward phrasing. For instance, the use of 'respectively' in the final sentence is incorrect as it is used to link two lists of items, but here it follows a single value. To improve, ensure that cohesive devices (like 'In contrast' or 'Following this trend') are used more naturally and that the relationship between sentences is clear without repetitive structures.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for describing trends (e.g., 'fell dramatically', 'remained stable', 'dip slightly'), but there is some repetition and imprecise usage. For example, 'the smallest rate' is not the most natural way to describe a percentage in a pie chart; 'the smallest proportion' would be better. Additionally, the phrase 'the beginning of the year' is inaccurate as the task compares two different years, not two points within a single year. Aim for more variety in how you describe proportions and changes.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent errors in article usage (e.g., 'new IT course' should be 'a new IT course', 'cookery course' should be 'the cookery course') and subject-verb agreement. There are also issues with tense consistency and phrasing, such as 'recorded for 8%'. To improve, focus on the correct use of definite and indefinite articles and ensure that your verb choices align with the data being presented.
