The bar chart compares the percentages of water in various Australian city reservoirs in October 2009 and 2010.

Overall, it is clear that figures for almost all cities experienced an upward trend except for Darwin which had a reduction in water levels. It is also worth mentioning that although Sydney had the most water in reservoirs in 2009, it was overtaken by Canberra a year later.

Looking at the details of Darwin, it started with around 42% water in October 2009 and significantly reduced by nearly 20% in the following year. In contrast, Sydney had the most water in 2009 at approximately 70% and increased slightly to 79% in October 2010. Meanwhile, Melbourne began with the least water in reservoirs at roughly 20% and rose noticeably to just under 40% in October 2010.

As for Brisbane, it had around 55% water in its reservoirs in October 2009 and remained unchanged in the next year. Perth had a most noticeable increase from about 35% in 2009 to roughly 70% in October 2010. Similarly, Canberra reservoirs possessed around 75% of water at the beginning and experienced a significant growth to just under 100% in the next October.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and highlighting key trends and comparisons. The structure is logical, with a distinct introduction, overview, and detailed body paragraphs. However, there is a significant discrepancy between the data provided in the visual description and the data reported in the text (for example, the report claims Darwin started at 42% while the description says 22%, and Sydney is described as having 70% while the description says 45%). While the scoring is lenient regarding visual description accuracy, the internal consistency of the report's data is important. To improve, ensure that the trends described (such as 'almost all cities experienced an upward trend') align strictly with the specific data points mentioned in the body paragraphs to avoid contradictions.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Looking at the details', 'In contrast', 'Meanwhile', and 'As for' helps guide the reader through the comparisons effectively. The paragraphing is logical, separating the overview from the specific details. To reach a higher band, ensure that the transitions between different cities feel even more seamless and less like a list of observations.

Lexical Resource

The writer uses a good range of vocabulary to describe changes, such as 'experienced an upward trend', 'overtaken', 'significantly reduced', and 'remained unchanged'. There is a nice variety in how percentages and levels are described. To improve, try to incorporate more sophisticated synonyms for 'water' or 'levels' to avoid repetition, and ensure that collocations (e.g., 'experienced a significant growth' vs 'experienced significant growth') are used with natural precision.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a strong command of grammatical structures, utilizing a mix of simple and complex sentences. Tense usage is consistent with the historical nature of the data. There are minor issues with article usage and phrasing (e.g., 'Perth had a most noticeable increase' should be 'the most noticeable increase'), but these do not impede communication. Focusing on the precision of articles and noun phrases will help achieve a higher level of accuracy.
