The bar chart gives information about the proportion of residents in the UK which did not own any qualifications in 2009, according to gender and age.

Overall, it is clearly seen that the rate of males who had no qualifications was higher than that of females in younger age groups (17-19 and 20-24), while a reverse trend can be noticed in older age groups (40-40 and 50-59/64). In addition, there were two particular groups in which the figures for both genders without degrees were exactly the same (25-29 and 30-39).

Regarding the younger age groups, the share of men aged 17-19 in UK without certificates was about 7%, which was just 1% higher than that of women. Moreover, the figure for female citizens from 20-24 with no degrees was reported at 7%, which was only 1% lower than that of males. Furthermore, the percentages of people aged 25-29 and 30-39 in both genders who did not have qualifications were precisely similar, at 8%.

Turning to the older age groups, 10% of men in UK had no degrees, compared to 11% of their female counterparts. The last age group (50-59/64) witnessed the largest gap between both genders, which was 3%, with 17% and 20% for males and females, respectively.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main features and making relevant comparisons. It provides a clear overview and organizes the information logically by age groups. Minor inaccuracies (e.g., '40-40' instead of '40-49') and slight omissions (e.g., not explicitly stating the overall trend for all age groups) are present but do not detract from the overall quality. To improve, ensure all age groups are accurately labeled and consider adding a brief statement about the general increase with age.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall structure: an introduction, an overview, and two body paragraphs that group the age categories logically. The message is easy to follow, and cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Regarding', 'Furthermore', and 'Turning to' are used effectively. However, there is a minor typo in the overview ('40-40' instead of '40-49') that slightly disrupts clarity. To improve, ensure all references are accurate and consider using a wider variety of linking phrases to enhance flow.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, including terms like 'proportion', 'residents', 'qualifications', 'gender', 'counterparts', and 'witnessed'. There is some repetition of phrases such as 'without qualifications' and 'no degrees', which could be varied for a more sophisticated lexical range. Additionally, the phrase 'the rate of males who had no qualifications' could be more concise. To improve, use synonyms and more precise expressions, such as 'the proportion of men lacking qualifications' or 'the percentage of unqualified individuals'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of complex structures accurately, including relative clauses, comparatives, and passive constructions. Punctuation is generally correct, and the grammar is mostly error-free. There are a few minor issues, such as the typo '40-40' and the phrase 'which did not own any qualifications' (should be 'who did not have any qualifications'), but these do not impede understanding. To achieve a higher score, ensure absolute accuracy in all details and avoid minor slips.
