The pie charts illustrate the proportions and numbers of employed men and women in the UK in 1998 and 2012.

It is clear that the number of men who work full-time accounts for the largest proportion of the total; it decreased by several percent, by 2012. Therefore, the proportion of women who work full-time rose sinificantly.

In 1988, men with full-time work had the highest percentage among all categories accounting for 53% and 12,539 in 1000s. There are some noticable changes from 1988 to 2012, the number of male full-time worker dropped to 47%, despite the number decreasing slightly to 13,794 in 1000s. However, the percentage of female full-time workers including part-time workers and male part-time workers increased.

By 1988, the pecentage of the female full-time workers accounted for 19% before growing to apporximately 26%. The percentage and number of male and female part-time workers rose by 1-2% or grew to 2,131 thousand from 1,550 thousand or 5,979 thousand from 5,268 thousand. The number of female part-time workers showed the smallest growth than other except men full-time worker.

Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task and identifies key trends, such as the decrease in the proportion of full-time male workers and the increase in full-time female workers. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data interpretation and logical presentation. For instance, the report states that the number of full-time male workers decreased, but the provided data shows an increase from 12,539 to 13,794 (even if the percentage dropped). Additionally, some comparisons are slightly confusingly worded. To improve, ensure that you distinguish clearly between 'percentage' and 'absolute numbers' when describing changes, and double-check that your descriptions of growth or decline align with the numerical values provided.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure, but the progression of ideas is sometimes interrupted by awkward phrasing and punctuation errors. For instance, the use of commas to join independent clauses (comma splices) makes the text feel disjointed. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of cohesive devices and ensure that each sentence flows naturally into the next. Using transition words like 'In contrast,' 'Furthermore,' or 'Regarding...' would help guide the reader more effectively through your comparisons.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is sufficient to convey the basic information, but there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'sinificantly', 'noticable', 'pecentage', 'apporximately') and repetitive word choices. There is also some confusion in how data is described (e.g., 'the smallest growth than other'). To reach a higher band, aim for greater precision in your word choices and ensure that spelling is accurate. Try to use more varied synonyms for 'increase' and 'decrease', such as 'climbed', 'dipped', 'surged', or 'declined'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede clarity. There are issues with subject-verb agreement, article usage, and sentence construction (e.g., 'the number of male full-time worker dropped'). Additionally, the way numerical data is integrated into sentences is sometimes grammatically incorrect. Focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that your noun-number agreement (singular vs. plural) is consistent throughout the report.
