The provided chart and table illustrate how male and female allocate their household activities, instead of work commitments, in 2008 in the UK.

Overall, both women and men opted for watching TV and video or listening radio during their free time. In contrast, the least popular choice for leisure activity was sport. Regarding household work, cooking and washing was the most widespread one. Concurrently, repair and clothes washing and ironing were the activities that a minority of voters chose.

According to the table, TV, video and radio had by far the highest number of votes among women and men, accounting for 137 and 118, respectively. In contrast, the figure for sport, which was the least preferable hobby, tended to be fairly similar: 15 male chose for it 18 times, while the number of women votes stood at 19.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing data between men and women for both leisure and household activities. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions in the data (e.g., 'over 80 times' for women cooking and washing, and confusion between 'votes' and minutes). Additionally, the phrasing could be more precise and avoid informal terms like 'votes' or 'hobby.' To improve, ensure all numerical values are accurately reported and use consistent terminology (e.g., 'minutes per day' instead of 'votes'). The overview could also more clearly highlight key differences, such as the gender gap in specific household tasks.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and paragraphs for leisure and household activities. However, the flow is occasionally disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'a minority of voters chose' is confusing in this context). The use of cohesive devices like 'In contrast' and 'Simultaneously' is generally effective, but some transitions could be smoother. Paragraphing is logical but could be more skillfully managed to separate the overview from detailed analysis.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks the range and sophistication expected for a higher score. Words like 'opted for', 'widespread', and 'preferable' are used, but there are some inaccuracies (e.g., 'voters' instead of 'participants' or 'respondents', 'male chose for it 18 times' is unclear). The report would benefit from more precise and varied lexical choices, such as 'engaged in', 'allocated time to', or 'devoted to'. Overall, the lexical resource is functional but not fully flexible or natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. Examples include 'how male and female allocate' (should be 'how men and women allocated'), 'the figure for sport... 15 male chose for it 18 times' (confusing and grammatically incorrect), and 'women chose cooking and washing over 80 times' (inaccurate data reference). Punctuation is mostly correct, but the overall accuracy is inconsistent. More careful proofreading and varied sentence structures would improve this criterion.
