Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing both the bar chart and the table, with a clear overall summary and relevant comparisons. The structure is logical, and key data points are presented accurately. Minor omissions, such as not explicitly stating that Japan had the highest life expectancy in 2008, are acceptable. To improve, consider varying sentence structures and ensuring precise phrasing (e.g., 'life duration' could be 'life expectancy'). Overall, the response is well-organized and covers the requirements sufficiently.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-structured and easy to follow. The information is logically organized, with a clear overview and separate paragraphs for the bar chart and table. Cohesive devices are used effectively, though a few transitions could be smoother. For example, 'Regarding the table' and 'When it comes to the table' are slightly repetitive. Consider using a wider variety of linking phrases to enhance flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and varied, with good use of terms like 'average lifespan', 'growth of life expectancy', 'significantly higher', and 'sharpest increase'. The phrasing is generally natural and precise. To reach a higher band, aim for more sophisticated lexical choices, such as 'longevity' instead of 'life duration', and 'modest increase' instead of 'much lower growth'. The report demonstrates strong lexical control overall.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a range of grammatical structures accurately, including comparative forms and complex sentences. There are minor errors, such as 'in Japan people average lifespan' (should be 'the average lifespan of people in Japan') and 'it illustrates increase' (should be 'it illustrates the increase'). Punctuation is generally correct. With more careful proofreading, these small issues can be eliminated to achieve a higher score.
