The pie charts illustrate a time which was spent on technology, such as phones and tablets, by category.

In brief, what stands out from the charts is that percentage of time spent on games on tablets accounted for a higher proportion than on smartphones, whereas the time spent on social networking made up a lower percentage. In addition, when it comes to utilities, tablets showed a reduction in their usage. Music and videos, news and other remained almost the same.

Regarding the table, tablets experienced growth in time usage on games by nearly 20 per cent, while usage of time on the social networking reduced by almost the half. Not only the social networking on smartphones illustrates a greater percentage, but also the utilities, which demonstrate a significant grow compared to the quantity it has on tablets.

Another categories, on the other hand, didn’t show a great difference, illustrating a slight expand in new and other and a 5 per cent climb in music and videos category on the tablets’ side.

Task Response

The report addresses the main trends and makes relevant comparisons between the two devices. However, there are several inaccuracies in how the data is described. For instance, the report refers to the visual as a 'table' in the third paragraph, which is incorrect. Additionally, some mathematical comparisons are slightly confused (e.g., stating games on tablets grew by 'nearly 20 per cent' when comparing 35% to 57% is a difference of 22 percentage points, but the phrasing is ambiguous). To improve, ensure consistent terminology (pie charts vs. tables) and focus on using precise language when describing differences in percentages to avoid confusion between 'percentage points' and 'percent'.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, there are significant issues with cohesion and clarity. The transition between paragraphs is somewhat abrupt, and the use of referencing is occasionally confusing. For instance, the student refers to 'the table' when the task clearly presents 'pie charts'. To improve, ensure that you use the correct terminology for the visual aids and use cohesive devices (like 'In contrast', 'Conversely', or 'Similarly') more effectively to link ideas between sentences and paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat repetitive and contains several word-form errors that impede meaning. For example, 'a significant grow' should be 'a significant growth', and 'a slight expand' should be 'a slight expansion'. Additionally, 'the quantity it has' is an unnatural way to describe data in a pie chart. Aim to learn the distinction between nouns and verbs (e.g., growth vs. grow, expansion vs. expand) and use more precise academic collocations when describing trends and proportions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There is an attempt to use complex structures, such as 'Not only... but also...', which is positive. However, these structures are often implemented incorrectly, leading to grammatical errors. There are issues with article usage (e.g., 'the social networking' instead of 'social networking') and subject-verb agreement. Furthermore, some sentence constructions are awkward, such as 'illustrate a time which was spent'. Focus on mastering basic sentence structures and ensuring that complex sentences are grammatically sound before attempting more advanced patterns.
