Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and key data for all five reasons. The overall trend is correctly identified, and the data for most categories is accurately reported. However, there are some minor omissions and lapses: the introduction is incomplete (missing the context of the chart), and there are a few spelling and grammatical errors (e.g., 'carrer', 'grwoth', 'throughtout'). Additionally, the report could be more clearly organized by grouping similar trends together. Overall, the response covers the requirements of the task well, with only minor issues.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and an overview, and the data is presented in a logical order. However, the introduction is incomplete and lacks a clear subject, and the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and missing punctuation. The use of cohesive devices is basic, and some sentences are long and run-on, making the message harder to follow. To improve, ensure the introduction clearly states what the chart shows, and use a variety of linking words and shorter, clearer sentences to enhance readability.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'readily apparent', 'considerable growth', and 'declined slowly'. However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'carrer', 'grwoth', 'throughtout') and some awkward word choices (e.g., 'for admitting in a university', 'considering the opposite view point'). To improve, proofread for spelling, and use more precise and natural collocations (e.g., 'enrolling in university', 'in contrast'). A wider range of synonyms and more sophisticated expressions would also enhance the lexical resource.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative and superlative forms, and some complex sentences. However, there are several grammatical errors, such as missing articles, incorrect verb forms (e.g., '70% individuals attending' should be '70% of individuals attended'), and run-on sentences. Punctuation is often incorrect or missing, which affects clarity. To improve, focus on sentence boundaries, use of articles, and subject-verb agreement. Practicing a variety of sentence structures with accurate punctuation will help achieve higher accuracy.
