The bar chart compares the number of university graduates in country Z by 6 subject areas – Science, Business, Engineering, Humanitles, Education, and Arts – in 2015.

Overall, a clear shift in subject areas preferences is evident. The period is characterized by a dramatic trend toward Science, Business, and Engineering fields, whereas other subjects experienced a steady decline. Notably, Science maintained a dominance across key categories, while Arts had the lowest amount of graduates.

The salient feature of the data is a huge difference between two kinds of discipline. In detail, the most popular area – Science – took approximately 56 000 alums in 2015. In stark contrast, Arts were tremendously lower, reaching just over 21 000 grads throughout the period.

The other majors upheld a middle positions among university degree holders. Business, which held a significant 48 000 alumni, had higher position than remaining disciplines. In addiction, Engineering scored nearly 41 000 studens – more than do Humanitles and Education.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by comparing the number of graduates across six subject areas and providing an overall summary. However, there are some inaccuracies in data (e.g., Arts is stated as 'just over 21,000' instead of approximately 22,500) and minor language errors (e.g., 'Humanitles' instead of 'Humanities', 'In addiction' instead of 'In addition', 'studens' instead of 'students'). The structure is clear, but the phrasing could be more precise and formal. Focus on proofreading for spelling and ensuring data accuracy to improve clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, the cohesion is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'the period is characterized by a dramatic trend' is vague as only one year is shown). The use of 'in addiction' instead of 'in addition' is a significant error that affects flow. Paragraphing is attempted but could be more skillfully managed to separate key features more clearly.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use a range of vocabulary (e.g., 'salient feature', 'in stark contrast', 'tremendously lower'), but some choices are imprecise or inappropriate (e.g., 'alums' and 'grads' are informal; 'studens' is a spelling error; 'humanitles' is misspelled). The lexical range is adequate but lacks the natural sophistication and accuracy expected for higher bands.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and inaccuracies, such as 'Humanitles' (misspelling), 'in addiction' (wrong word), 'more than do Humanitles and Education' (incorrect comparative structure), and 'the other majors upheld a middle positions' (subject-verb agreement error). While some complex structures are attempted, they are not consistently controlled, and punctuation is mostly correct but not flawless.
