The bar chart compares the number of students from two different middle schools who chose their favourite subjects.

Overall, the vast majority of School A students opt for sport, resulting in a massive gap between the two schools. Additionally, science is also more favoured subject by School A students, while the remaining subjects are more popular among School B students, with craft and drawing being the most preferred.

In detail, sport is the most widely chosen subject by School A students, at 36, compared with 5 for School B. This disrepancy becomes less pronounced in science where 9 students at School preferred this subject, compared to just 2 for School B.

In contrast, craft and drawing are the most commonly chosen by School B students, at 25, far exceeding their School A counterparts at only 2. Similarly, language and social science are also more popular subject among School B students, at 18 and 10 respectively, as opposed to 5 and 6 at School A.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the data. For example, it states that School A students prefer sport at 36, but the visual description indicates that School B has 36 for sport. Similarly, the figures for craft/drawing and language are reversed. These errors detract from the overall task achievement. To improve, ensure that the data is accurately reported and that the comparisons are consistent with the given information. Also, avoid vague phrases like 'massive gap' without clear reference, and proofread for spelling errors (e.g., 'disrepancy').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall statement and detailed paragraphs. However, the flow is slightly disrupted by the incorrect comparison in the second paragraph (science figures are reversed) and the phrase 'this disrepancy' which is a typo. The paragraphing is adequate, but the second paragraph could be more clearly focused on the most significant contrast (sport) before moving to other subjects. Overall, the message is mostly easy to follow, but minor lapses in coherence due to inaccuracies and awkward transitions prevent a higher score.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'vast majority', 'massive gap', 'more favoured', 'widely chosen', and 'far exceeding'. There is some attempt at sophistication, but there are also some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, e.g., 'disrepancy' (misspelling), 'more favoured subject' (should be 'a more favoured subject'), and 'the most preferred' (used incorrectly for craft/drawing). The lexical resource is adequate but not fully flexible or precise, with a few errors that detract from naturalness.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. However, there are several grammatical and punctuation errors: 'disrepancy' (spelling), 'science is also more favoured subject' (missing article), 'compared to just 2 for School B' (incorrect data, but grammatically fine), 'craft and drawing are the most commonly chosen' (should be 'most commonly chosen subjects'), and 'more popular subject' (should be 'more popular subjects'). These errors are minor but noticeable, preventing a higher score. The overall control is good, but not flawless.
