Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and key data for both years. The overall trend of increasing usage across all age groups is clearly identified, and the highest and lowest performing groups are mentioned. However, there are some minor inaccuracies in the data (e.g., 60% instead of 64% for 18-24 in 2010, 50% instead of 49% for 45-54, and 80% instead of 77% for 45-54 in 2025) and a few omissions (e.g., the exact figure for 55+ in 2025 is not provided). The report is well-structured with clear paragraphs, but could be improved by ensuring all data points are accurately reported and by using more precise language to describe the figures.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and separate paragraphs for each year. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing (e.g., 'the opposite' is vague, and 'Returning to the 2025' is confusing). The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate. To improve, use a wider range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly', 'while') and ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic with smooth transitions between sentences.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary related to data description (e.g., 'illustrates', 'approximately', 'marginally more', 'doubled'). However, there are repetitions (e.g., 'people aged' is used too often) and some imprecise word choices (e.g., 'showed the opposite' is unclear, 'in given year' is awkward). To improve, vary the language used to describe age groups (e.g., 'those aged 25-34', 'the 55+ cohort') and use more precise terms for trends (e.g., 'rose steadily', 'experienced a significant increase'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. Examples include 'age categorie' (should be 'categories'), 'people age of 55+' (should be 'people aged 55+'), 'which were recorded 70%' (should be 'which was recorded at 70%'), and 'Returning to the 2025' (should be 'Turning to 2025'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences are run-ons or lack commas. To improve, proofread for subject-verb agreement, use correct prepositions, and ensure that each sentence is grammatically complete and clear.
