Task Response

The report effectively addresses the requirements of the task, providing a clear overview and a logical comparison of the data presented in both the bar chart and the table. The key trends - Japan having the highest life expectancy and Indonesia having the highest rate of increase - are correctly identified. To improve and reach a higher band, ensure more precise vocabulary is used; for example, instead of saying Japan was 'counted the highest number,' it would be more accurate to say Japan 'recorded the highest life expectancy.' Additionally, avoid using 'average number' when referring to the total increase over a period, as this can be mathematically misleading.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Looking first at', 'Turning to', and 'Furthermore' helps guide the reader through the comparison. However, some transitions feel a bit mechanical. To improve, try to integrate comparisons more fluidly within sentences rather than relying on a list-like structure (e.g., instead of 'In addition, Japan...', try 'Meanwhile, Japan saw a more modest rise of...').

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and covers the necessary data points. You successfully used synonyms like 'witnessed', 'depicted', and 'experienced'. However, there are some inaccuracies in word choice: 'Japan was counted the highest number' is unnatural; 'Japan recorded the highest life expectancy' would be better. Additionally, 'average number' is not the correct term for life expectancy in this context. Aim for more precise academic collocations. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of sentence structures, including complex sentences and comparative forms. There are some minor errors in punctuation and phrasing, such as the comma splice in 'Japan had the highest number, which was 82.7, in contrast, Indonesia...'. This should be two separate sentences or joined with a semicolon. Ensure that relative clauses (e.g., 'Indonesia was the country, which witnessed...') are used without unnecessary commas to maintain a natural flow.
