The image displays a line chart on computer ownership in the US from 1997 to 2012: No computer ownership started at 60% in 1997, declining to about 45% in 2000, further decreasing to just over 30% in 2003, dropping to roughly 25% in 2006, falling beneath 20% in 2009, and reaching around 10% in 2012. Ownership of 1 computer started at 25% in 1997, increased to near 40% in 2000, peaking above 50% in 2003, then dropping back to around 40% in 2006, stabilizing around 35% in 2009, and slightly decreasing to just under 30% in 2012. Ownership of 2 computers began at 10% in 1997, rose to about 15% in 2000, continued increasing to near 20% in 2003, maintained a similar level in 2006, rose slightly again in 2009, and peaked just below 30% in 2012. Ownership of 3 or more computers started at below 10% in 1997, minimally increased in 2000, gradually rose to about 10% in 2003, increased marginally to around 15% in 2006, rose to just below 20% in 2009, and further increased to approximately 25% in 2012.

The line graph illustrates the percentage of computer ownership in the US between 1997 and 2012.

Overall, the proportion of households without a computer fell gradually over the period, whereas single-computer ownership experienced a dramatic increase and became the most common category by the end. Meanwhile, multiple-computer ownership rose only minimally throughout the period.

Focusing on highest trends, the zero-computer ownership started at near 69% in 1997. However, a figure decreased dramatically year by year at around 18% by the end of the period. As for the single-computer households, it was accounted around 28% in 1997, after that, this share increased noticeably to 50% and it peaked in 2003. By 2006, the percentage of single-computer ownership a slight decline to about 45%, before it increased to again 50% in 2012.

By contrast, the two-computer households and the multi-computer households began at around 5% and almost 1%, after which, both ownership increased apparently to over 22% and 10% throughout the period. baholachi

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends in computer ownership categories over time. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., starting percentages for zero-computer and single-computer ownership, and the final value for zero-computer ownership) and some unclear or awkward phrasing (e.g., 'a figure decreased dramatically year by year at around 18%', 'it increased to again 50%'). The overall structure is logical, but the inclusion of irrelevant or inaccurate information in key areas detracts from the task achievement. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the data from the visual description and ensure clarity in describing trends. Avoid vague statements and check for grammatical errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and an overview. However, the paragraphing is not always logical, and the progression of ideas is sometimes unclear. For example, the second paragraph mixes trends for different categories without clear separation. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'Focusing on highest trends' is awkward). The final sentence 'baholachi' is a non-sequitur and disrupts coherence. To improve, organize the report into clear paragraphs: one for the overall trend, one for the main trends (no computer and one computer), and one for the minor trends (two and three or more computers). Use a range of linking words and phrases to smoothly connect ideas.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'illustrates', 'fell gradually', 'dramatic increase', 'peaked'). However, there are several inaccuracies and awkward phrasings: 'Focusing on highest trends' is not idiomatic; 'a figure decreased dramatically year by year' is repetitive and vague; 'it was accounted around' is incorrect; 'a slight decline' should be 'saw a slight decline'; 'increased to again 50%' is awkward. The range of vocabulary is limited, and there is some repetition. To improve, use a wider variety of precise verbs and nouns (e.g., 'witnessed', 'experienced', 'saw', 'reached a peak', 'remained stable'), and ensure collocations are correct (e.g., 'accounted for', 'saw a decline').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'the zero-computer ownership started at near 69%' should be 'the percentage of households without a computer started at nearly 69%'; 'a figure decreased' should be 'the figure decreased'; 'it was accounted around' should be 'it accounted for around'; 'a slight decline' should be 'saw a slight decline'; 'increased to again 50%' should be 'increased again to 50%'. There are also issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. The range of grammatical structures is limited, with many simple sentences. To improve, practice using a variety of complex structures (e.g., relative clauses, passive voice, and conditional sentences) and proofread to eliminate basic errors.
