Writing Task.

The bar graph illustrates data on the proportion of British people of 5 different age groups donating money to charity in the year 1990 and 2010.

Looking from an overall perspective, what stands out from the bar is that in the year of 1990 charity received money from a greater percentage of people than in 2010. Across the 2 years, the percentage of people who were under the age of 50 was lower than that of those above 50.

Initially, although the number of people between 36 and 50 was the highest with about 40% in 1900, it was equal to percentage of people who are older than 65 in 2010. Moreover, the figures for the age range 26-35 and 18-25 plummeted in 2010, by approximately 5.7 and 9% respectively.

On the other hand, even though the number of people aged 51-65 and over 65 both increase in 2010, those in the 51-65 age-group contributed more money in total, exceeding the older age-group by nearly 5% in 1990 and about 6% in 2010

Task Response

The report covers the requirements of the task, presenting the main trends and making relevant comparisons. There are some minor inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., 'approximately 5.7' should be 'approximately 7%'), and the language could be more precise in places. To improve, ensure all data points are accurately represented and refine the language for greater clarity and precision.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report presents a generally clear overview of the data. The organization into paragraphs is logical, with an introduction, an overview, and paragraphs detailing specific trends. However, the transition between some sentences could be smoother to enhance the flow of information. For example, in the second paragraph, elaborating on why the percentages are different between the age groups would improve coherence. Also, avoid stating obvious information.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary suitable for describing trends in a graph. Terms like 'plummeted,' 'exceeding,' and 'proportion' are used effectively. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider incorporating more varied synonyms and idiomatic expressions related to financial contributions and demographic analysis. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'percentage of people,' try 'proportion of individuals' or 'demographic segment'. Also, avoid using conversational language. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar with a variety of sentence structures. There are a few minor errors, such as subject-verb agreement ('charity received money') and awkward phrasing ('equal to percentage of people'). While these errors do not significantly impede understanding, addressing them would improve the overall grammatical accuracy. Proofreading carefully to identify and correct these minor errors is recommended.
