The given bar chart presents data on the figures of students in ages 13 who had calculators and who had used calculators in school in 6 distinct countries in 1991.

In general, In all countries except Taiwan, the number of students who had calculating machines was greater than the number of students who ever used it in school. Both of these rates are the highest in France while Korea has the lowest rate.

Looking at the chart in more detail, regarding the quantity of students who have an abacus, France is the country with the largest number, approximately 100, followed by Israel with an approaching figure. Hungary, Taiwan and Ireland are countries with an average number of students with computers. Finally, Korea is the country with the lowest number, about more than one-fifth that of France.

People who have used computers at school also have similar data to those who own them. France still has the highest digit, while Hungary and Taiwan are the countries with the second and third highest amount. In fourth and fifth place in Israel and Ireland, Korea is still the country with the least data.

Task Response

The report adequately covers the main features of the bar chart, providing a general overview and some specific details. The comparison between countries is present, but could be more developed. To improve, focus on providing more precise data references and enhancing the comparative analysis between countries. Also, avoid using the word 'digit' when referring to percentages or quantities.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, transitions between some sentences and ideas could be smoother to enhance the flow. For example, in the second paragraph, the transition from the general statement to the specific details about France and Korea could be more explicit. Consider using cohesive devices like 'Furthermore' or 'In contrast' to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, but there are instances where more precise word choices could improve clarity. For example, using 'calculating machines' and 'abacus' instead of 'calculators' is not entirely accurate, as abacus is a specific type of calculating tool, and 'calculating machines' is too vague. Sticking to 'calculators' would be more appropriate. Also, consider varying your vocabulary when describing quantities (e.g., 'proportion,' 'percentage,' 'figure').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar, but there are a few errors that need attention. For example, 'In all countries except Taiwan, the number of students who had calculating machines was greater than the number of students who ever used it in school' could be rephrased for better clarity and grammatical correctness (e.g., 'In all countries except Taiwan, a higher percentage of students owned calculators compared to those who had used them in school'). Also, 'People who have used computers at school also have similar data to those who own them' should be 'People who have used calculators at school also show similar trends to those who own them'. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and pronoun references to enhance accuracy.
