The bar chart demonstrates the proportion of people from five age groups using different sources of news in 2011.

Overall, it can be seen that radio was the most widely used medium among individuals aged 18 and above. Additionally, the use of social platforms was inversely related to age

In the first age group, social platforms were the most preferred choice with 80% of users, doubling the proportion of radio listeners and quadrupling that of microblogging. Moving to the 18-29 age group, whereas the percentage of social platform users remained unchanged at 80%, the figure for radio listeners rose to about 95%, surpassing social networks to become the leading choice. Meanwhile, microblogging saw a moderate increase to a quarter.

Regarding the older age brackets, radio maintained its top position at around 95% among users aged 30 to 64 before falling slightly to just under 90% of those aged 65+. In contrast, there was a downward trend in the figure for social networks, falling from about 48% in the 30-49 age group to just one-tenth in the oldest group. Moreover, microblogging decreased steadily from just under 20% in the 30-49 age bracket to a negligible proportion in the last group.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main features and making comparisons. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., social networking for ages 10-17 is stated as 80% instead of 75%, and radio for ages 18-29 is given as 95% instead of 70%). These errors detract from the accuracy of the report. To improve, ensure that data points are correctly reported from the visual information. Additionally, the overview could be more precise by including the youngest age group's preference for social networking. Overall, the response covers the requirements of the task but with some omissions and lapses in data accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow, with a clear overall structure and logical progression of ideas. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'In the first age group', 'Moving to', 'Regarding', and 'In contrast' helps guide the reader smoothly. However, there is a minor lapse in coherence when the writer states that radio was the most widely used medium among those aged 18 and above, but then later mentions that social platforms were the most preferred choice in the first age group (10-17), which is slightly inconsistent with the initial statement. Paragraphing is generally well-managed, but could be slightly more distinct to separate the younger and older age groups more clearly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is varied and appropriate for the task, with good use of synonyms such as 'proportion', 'medium', 'choice', 'figure', and 'bracket'. Phrases like 'inversely related to age', 'doubling the proportion', 'quadrupling that of', 'moderate increase', 'maintained its top position', and 'negligible proportion' demonstrate a strong lexical range. The language is natural and sophisticated, though there is slight overuse of 'about' and 'around' which could be varied. Overall, the lexical resource is very effective and close to band 9.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a wide range of grammatical structures used with full flexibility and control. Sentences are varied in length and complexity, including simple, compound, and complex forms. Punctuation and grammar are used correctly throughout, with no errors detected. The use of clauses (e.g., 'whereas the percentage... remained unchanged', 'before falling slightly') and comparative structures (e.g., 'surpassing social networks', 'falling from... to') is particularly effective. This is a band 9 performance in this criterion.
