The chart illustrates the figures of men and women studying post-secondary education in Britain over the three years, displaying either they were full-time learners or studying on a part-time basis.

Overall, the number of male and female students pursuing full-time education increased steadily throughout the period but remained relatively lower in numbers than part-time leaners.

The number of male students studying full-time further education started at around 100 thousands in 1970/71 and increased steadily for the next two decades. On the other hand, the figure of female student pursuing full-time education started below 100 thousands in 1970/71, with the gradual increase between 1980/81 and 1990/91, finishing at approximately 200 thousands. Despite the steady increase, the ratio of men and women studying on full-time basis remained almost the same at the end of the period.

In 1970/71, the number of boys studying further education reached one million, with a slight decrease to about 900 thousands in 1980/81 and 1990/91. On the other hand, in 1970/71, the number of female students pursuing further education were under 800 thousands, while a gradual and steady increase can be seen. The female student number increased to approximately 1.1 million in 1990/91 and remained higher than male students.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing the data for men and women in full-time and part-time education across the three periods. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., starting male full-time figure is given as 'around 100 thousands' instead of 125,000, and female full-time in 1990/91 is 'approximately 200 thousands' instead of 260,000). Additionally, the report uses informal terms like 'boys' and 'girls' instead of 'men' and 'women'. To improve, ensure data precision and maintain formal academic language throughout.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall trend and separate paragraphs for full-time and part-time data. However, there are minor lapses in coherence, such as the phrase 'displaying either they were full-time learners' which could be more smoothly integrated. The use of cohesive devices is adequate but could be more varied to avoid repetition (e.g., 'On the other hand' is used twice). Paragraphing is logical, but the final paragraph could be more clearly separated from the previous one to enhance flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and shows some flexibility (e.g., 'pursuing', 'gradual increase', 'remained higher'). However, there are instances of less precise word choices, such as 'boys' instead of 'male students' and 'leaners' instead of 'learners'. The range could be expanded with more sophisticated terms (e.g., 'commenced' instead of 'started', 'surpassed' instead of 'remained higher'). Overall, the lexical resource is good but not fully natural or sophisticated. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. For example, 'displaying either they were' should be 'showing whether they were', 'the figure of female student' should be 'the figure for female students', and 'the number of female students... were' should be 'was'. Punctuation is mostly correct, but the errors in subject-verb agreement and article usage are noticeable. A wider range of structures with greater accuracy would improve the score.
