The information about the exports value of one particular country in distinctive categories in 2015 and in 2016 is given in the form of the bar chart. The table illustrates the change of the percentages of each group of export in 2015 with the comparison to 2016.

Overall, the export earnings increased almost in all categories, the exception to this was gems and jewellery.

There was a higher result of petroleum products in 2016 than in 2015 with approximately 60 billions of dollars and just over 60 billions (the change was 3%). The value of earnings by engineered goods increased significantly in 2016 compared with 2015 with around 57 billions and slightly more than 60 billions, respectively (the difference was 8.5%). The highest percentage of grow is in textiles category with 15.24%.

Meanwhile, the export of agricultural products experienced the inconsiderable growth with about 30 billions in both years (the change was 0.81%). The most noticeable thing is decrease in export income from gems and jewellery with approximately 43 billions in 2015 and 40 billions in 2016 (the difference was -5.18%).

Task Response

The report covers the requirements of the task by identifying the main trends and providing data for all categories. The overview is clear and correctly identifies the single category that experienced a decline. To improve, ensure that the relationship between the bar chart and the table is more fluidly integrated; rather than placing the percentage changes in parentheses, try to use them to describe the magnitude of the trends (e.g., 'Textiles saw a significant surge of 15.24%'). Additionally, be careful with word choices such as 'inconsiderable growth' or 'higher result,' as more precise academic terms like 'marginal increase' or 'higher export value' would be more appropriate.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is somewhat hindered by repetitive sentence structures and awkward phrasing. The use of parentheses to include percentage changes feels disjointed and interrupts the flow of the description. To improve, try to integrate the data more naturally into your sentences using subordinating conjunctions (e.g., 'while', 'whereas') or prepositional phrases instead of relying on brackets.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is functional but lacks the sophistication required for higher bands. There are several errors in word choice and formation, such as 'the highest percentage of grow' (should be 'growth') and 'inconsiderable growth' (which might not accurately convey the intended meaning of 'minimal'). Additionally, the use of 'billions of dollars' is slightly repetitive. Aim to use a wider variety of synonyms for 'increase' (e.g., rose, climbed, surged) and 'decrease' (e.g., declined, dropped, dipped) to demonstrate better lexical control.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex structures, but grammatical inaccuracies are frequent. There are issues with noun number (e.g., '60 billions' should be '60 billion') and article usage. The phrasing in the introduction is also somewhat clunky. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement and the correct usage of uncountable nouns like 'billion'. Practicing the use of comparative and superlative structures will also help in making more accurate comparisons between the two years.
