The bar chart compares the proportions of people in five age groups in the UK who used online banking in 2010 and 2025.

Overall, online banking became more popular among every age group over the period shown. Usage was highest among people aged 25-34 in both years, while those aged 55 and over had the lowest rates. However, the difference between younger and older users became smaller by 2025.

In 2010, around two-thirds of 18-24-year-olds used online banking, compared with just over 70% of those aged 25-34. The figure for the 35-44 age group was slightly lower, at just under 70%. By 2025, usage among all three younger groups had risen to around 90% or more, with the 25-34 group reaching approximately 95%.

Online banking was considerably less common among older people in 2010. Around half of those aged 45-54 used these services, while the figure for people aged 55 and over was just under 30%. Both groups experienced substantial increases by 2025, reaching just under 80% and around 60% respectively.

Task Response

8
The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and detailed comparisons between the two years and age groups. The data is presented accurately and coherently, with a logical structure that moves from general trends to specific details. Minor omissions, such as not explicitly stating the exact percentages for all groups, are acceptable and do not detract from the overall quality. To improve, consider adding a brief mention of the overall trend in the gap between younger and older users, which is already implied but could be more explicit. Additionally, ensure that all data points are consistently referenced, though the current level of detail is sufficient for a high band score.

Coherence & Cohesion

There is no repetition or awkward phrasing. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.
