Task Response

The report fails to accurately interpret the data type, which significantly impacts the task achievement. The visual description specifies that the chart shows 'percentages' of staff, but the report treats these figures as absolute numbers of 'students' (e.g., '75 women', '17 female students'). This is a fundamental error in data reporting. Additionally, the report describes the data in terms of 'popularity' and 'interest,' which is an inappropriate interpretation of a demographic distribution chart. To improve, ensure you distinguish between percentages and raw numbers, and focus on describing the proportions/distribution rather than inferring student preferences or popularity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report struggles with logical progression and the use of cohesive devices. There is a significant issue with sentence fragments, such as starting a sentence with 'Whereas', which disrupts the flow. Additionally, the organization of ideas is somewhat repetitive, as the report attempts to list data point by point rather than grouping them into meaningful comparisons. To improve, focus on using subordinating conjunctions to link ideas within a single sentence rather than starting new sentences with transition words that require a preceding clause.

Lexical Resource

There is a fundamental misunderstanding of the data type which affects lexical choice. The chart describes 'percentages of academic staff', but the report repeatedly refers to 'students' and 'numbers of students'. This is a major error in task achievement and lexical accuracy. Furthermore, the use of words like 'popular', 'preferred', and 'interested' is inappropriate for a statistical report about staff composition, as it implies personal choice or preference rather than demographic distribution. Aim to use more objective language such as 'accounted for', 'represented', or 'comprised'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammatical range is limited, and there are several errors that impact clarity. The most notable issue is the confusion between percentages and absolute numbers (e.g., treating '75%' as '75 women'). While the sentence structures vary slightly, the errors in word choice and the misuse of conjunctions (like 'Whereas') prevent the report from reaching a higher band. Work on ensuring that the subject of your sentence matches the data being described and practice using complex sentence structures correctly.
