Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing trends and making comparisons, but it contains significant inaccuracies in the data. The years are incorrectly stated as 2010 and 2020 instead of 2000 and 2010, and the percentages provided do not match the visual description (e.g., Business 25% vs. 14%, Engineering 20% vs. 24%, Medicine 30% vs. 14%). Additionally, the report introduces 'Computer Science,' which is not mentioned in the visual description, and omits other subjects like Science and Law. The overall structure is clear, with an overview and detailed paragraphs, but the incorrect data detracts from task achievement. To improve, ensure the data and years are accurately reported, and avoid introducing subjects not present in the visual information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall statement and logical grouping of subjects. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, and the progression from overview to specific details is smooth. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the mention of 'Computer Science' in the overview and body, which is not present in the task description, and the transition between paragraphs could be slightly smoother. Overall, the message is easy to follow, and paragraphing is managed well.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary with appropriate use of terms like 'accounted for', 'stood at', 'climbing', and 'experienced a considerable decrease'. The language is generally precise and natural. However, there is some repetition of phrases such as 'the percentage of students' and 'stood at', which could be varied for a more sophisticated lexical control. Additionally, the inclusion of 'Computer Science' not in the task may indicate a misunderstanding of the data, but the lexical choices themselves are accurate and appropriate.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report shows a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. There are no significant grammar errors, and punctuation is used correctly. The structures are generally controlled and accurate. However, to achieve a higher band, the report could benefit from more varied sentence structures and a more flexible use of complex forms. Overall, the grammar is strong and does not impede understanding.
