Overall, the percentage of the women group was the largest throughout the period, while that of the children group was the smallest. In addition, the proportion of women, men and children rose considerably before declining in the end.

The figure of women then surged to a peak of 35% in 2006, before slipping slightly to 30% in 2008. Moreover, in the first three years, the proportion of men remained unchanged at roughly 17% until 2003, then increased slightly to 27% in 2007 and 2008.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and key trends, with some comparisons made. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., women's peak at 35% in 2006, men's 27% in 2007 and 2008, children's 18% in 2005 and 26% in 2007) and some inconsistencies (e.g., men's figure stated as 24% in 2008, which contradicts the earlier mention of 27%). The report also omits some specific data points and misstates trends (e.g., claiming a decline at the end for all groups, but men's data does not decline). To improve, ensure data accuracy and consistency, and provide a more precise summary of the main features.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The message is mostly easy to follow, and paragraphing is logical. However, there are some minor lapses in cohesion, such as the use of 'Its figure stood at 24%, which was lower just about 1 percentage point, in 2008' which is awkwardly phrased and disrupts the flow. Additionally, the final sentence about men's data is slightly confusing. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear topic sentence and that transitions between ideas are smoother.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'illustrates', 'proportion', 'surged', 'slipping', and 'peaking'. There is some flexibility in word choice, but there are a few inaccuracies and awkward phrases, e.g., 'the women group' (should be 'the women's group' or 'the group of women'), 'lower just about 1 percentage point' (should be 'just about 1 percentage point lower'), and 'the figure of women' (could be 'the figure for women'). To achieve a higher score, aim for more precise and natural collocations, and avoid repetitive phrasing. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'in 2001, about 22% of those who ate five portions of fruits and vegetables per day' is a fragment; it should be 'in 2001, about 22% of women ate five portions...'. Also, 'the proportion of men remained unchanged at roughly 17% until 2003, then increased slightly to 27% in 2007 and 2008' is correct, but the following sentence 'Its figure stood at 24%, which was lower just about 1 percentage point, in 2008' is confusing and contains a word order error. Additionally, there are missing commas and some subject-verb agreement issues. To improve, focus on sentence completeness, correct word order, and consistent use of tenses.
