The bar chart illustrates the growth in the proportion of individuals living alone across five distinct age categories in the United States over a 150-year period.

Overall, most categories experienced an upward trend over the years. The highest percentage was observed in people aged 55-64 at the end of the period, whereas the lowest figures were recorded in the earliest years.

In 1850, the figures for older people stood at just above 2% and nearly 2.5%, respectively. These 3 categories showed a gradual increase to nearly 2%, 2.5% and just below 4%, respectively, in 1900. Meanwhile, the percentage of people aged 27-36 was introduced at just above 2% in 1900.

Regarding 1950, the percentage of people aged 17-26 emerged at just below 2% in 1950. The first 4 categories (17-26, 27-36, 37-46 and 47-54) rose progressively to just below 2%, and around 2.5%, respectively, in 1950 before rising significantly to 8%, nearly 7.5 and 13%, respectively, at the end of the period. In contrast, despite the oldest category (55-64) was about 9% in 1950, it grew dramatically to nearly 17% in 2000.

Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview of the overall trend, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. The data for the earliest years (1850) is not clearly presented, and some figures are incorrectly described (e.g., 'just above 2%' for 55-64 in 1850, which should be 2%). The description of the 1950 data is also inaccurate (e.g., 'just below 2%' for 17-26, which should be 2%). Additionally, the report omits specific data for some age groups in certain years, and the final sentence contains a grammatical error ('despite the oldest category was'). To improve, ensure all key data points are accurately reported and use correct grammar to enhance clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs. However, the organization of information within the body paragraphs is somewhat confusing. The description of the 1850 and 1900 data is mixed together, and the progression of time is not consistently followed. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and some sentences are not logically connected, making it harder for the reader to follow the trends. To improve, consider grouping data by time period (e.g., 1850-1900, 1950, 2000) and using clear sequencing words (e.g., 'initially', 'subsequently', 'by the end of the period').

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for describing trends (e.g., 'upward trend', 'gradual increase', 'rose progressively', 'grew dramatically'). However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'was introduced at' and 'emerged at', which are not natural in this context. Also, the phrase 'the figures for older people stood at just above 2% and nearly 2.5%, respectively' is unclear because it does not specify which age groups are being referred to. To improve, use more precise and natural expressions like 'accounted for', 'reached', or 'stood at' with clear subject references, and avoid vague terms like 'these 3 categories' without specifying them. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. There are very few grammatical errors, but there are some issues with sentence structure and clarity. For example, 'despite the oldest category (55-64) was about 9% in 1950' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'despite the oldest category (55-64) being about 9% in 1950' or 'although the oldest category was about 9% in 1950'. Additionally, some sentences are incomplete or lack clear subjects, such as 'These 3 categories showed a gradual increase...' without specifying which categories. To improve, ensure that every sentence has a clear subject and that subordinate clauses are correctly formed.
