Task Response

The report fully satisfies the requirements of the task. It provides a clear overview of the main trends and makes effective comparisons between the different categories and years. The data is reported accurately according to the visual description, and the information is organized logically into a coherent structure. The progression from the overview to specific details is smooth and professional.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is exceptionally well-organized. The information flows logically from a clear introduction and overview to detailed body paragraphs that follow a chronological progression. Cohesive devices such as 'In contrast', 'Conversely', and 'Meanwhile' are used naturally to highlight relationships between different data points without being repetitive or intrusive. Paragraphing is used effectively to separate the overview from the specific data analysis.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is varied and appropriate for an academic report. You have successfully employed a range of verbs and adverbs to describe trends, such as 'declined steadily', 'rose considerably', 'fell sharply', and 'narrowing the gap'. There are a few minor spelling errors (e.g., 'charta', 'contrubution', 'courtries'), but these do not impede communication. To reach a band 9, ensure complete accuracy in spelling and continue to use sophisticated collocations. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a strong command of grammatical structures, utilizing a mix of simple and complex sentences. The use of the past perfect ('had fallen') to describe changes over time is particularly effective. There are very few errors, mostly limited to minor typographical issues. To improve, pay close attention to spacing after punctuation (e.g., '1988,1990') and ensure consistent spelling to maintain a high level of professional accuracy.
