The bar chart gives information about the proportion of males and femakes working in six sectors in 2020.

Overall, Engineering, Construction and Agricalture was higher in the proportion of males than in the proportion of womens. However Hospitality, Education and Reatail had a higher persentage in the proportion of womens.

Looking first at the male figures, construction was by far the most male-dominated sector, with men accounting for approximately 85% of the workforce. Similarly, the proportion of male employees in manufacturing was considerably higher than that of females. A comparable pattern can also be observed in the transport sector, where men represented a significantly larger share of workers. Overall, men were more heavily represented in these three sectors than women.

Turning to the female figures, women accounted for a considerably larger proportion of employment in the remaining sectors. In particular, the percentage of female workers was noticeably higher in sectors where men were less represented. By contrast, the proportion of women working in construction was substantially lower than that of men. Overall, female employment was concentrated more heavily in the sectors that were less male-dominated.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the main features of the chart and making some comparisons. However, it contains several inaccuracies and omissions that detract from task achievement. Specifically, it introduces sectors not mentioned in the data (manufacturing and transport) and omits specific data for several sectors (e.g., education, agriculture, retail). The report also includes spelling errors and informal language. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the data for all six sectors, avoid introducing irrelevant information, and use precise vocabulary and correct spelling.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall statement and a logical division into male and female figures. However, the second paragraph introduces sectors (manufacturing, transport) that are not mentioned in the task, which disrupts the coherence and may confuse the reader. The use of cohesive devices is adequate, but the flow could be improved by ensuring all information directly relates to the given data. To enhance coherence, stick strictly to the sectors provided and use clear referencing throughout.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for describing data (e.g., 'male-dominated', 'accounting for', 'significantly larger share'). However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'femakes', 'Agricalture', 'Reatail', 'persentage') and some awkward phrasing (e.g., 'was higher in the proportion of males than in the proportion of womens'). To improve lexical resource, focus on accurate spelling and more natural collocations, such as 'a higher proportion of men than women' instead of 'was higher in the proportion of males than in the proportion of womens'. Also, avoid repeating 'proportion' and vary expressions for comparison.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, with some accurate use of comparative language. However, there are noticeable grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement ('Engineering, Construction and Agricalture was higher' should be 'were higher'), incorrect plural forms ('womens' should be 'women'), and inconsistent tense usage. Additionally, the inclusion of sectors not in the data (manufacturing, transport) indicates a misunderstanding of the task, which affects grammatical accuracy in context. To improve, ensure subject-verb agreement, use correct plural forms, and maintain consistency in tense. Also, focus on accurately representing the given data to avoid grammatical inaccuracies.
