The bar chart provides details about library loans in shared libraries in the UK between 1995 and 2005.

Overall, it can be seen that the borrowing of library materials diminished throughout a 10-year period. It is also clear that 1995 was a year when the number of items borrowed from libraries exhibited higher figures than other years.

In 1995, adult fiction stood at 330 million but this was followed by a slight decline to 280 in 2000, after which this figure saw a further drop to 230 million in 2005. After dipping dramatically from 1,113 million in 1995 to 161 million in 2000, the figure for adult non-fiction declined farther to 110 million in 2005.

Despite a negligible rise from 107 million in 1995 to 114 million in 2000, children’s books recorded a slight decline to 104 million by the final year. The figure for top audio-visual material, on the other hand, increased steadily over the period. Starting at just 28 million in the initial year, top audio-visual material rose to 33 million in 2000, a figure that than increased markedly to 60 million in 2005.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and detailed data for each category. The overall trend is correctly identified, and the data is presented in a clear, organized manner. Minor inaccuracies (e.g., 'shared libraries' instead of 'public libraries') and a few omissions (e.g., not explicitly stating the total decline) are present but do not detract significantly from the overall quality. To improve, ensure precise terminology and consider summarizing the overall trend more explicitly.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall structure. The introduction paraphrases the task, and the overview effectively summarizes the main trends. The body paragraphs are logically divided by category, and the use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'In 1995', 'After dipping', 'Despite', and 'on the other hand' helps the reader follow the progression. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'a figure that than increased' which disrupts the flow. Overall, the message is easy to follow, and paragraphing is managed well.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task. Words like 'diminished', 'exhibited', 'dramatically', 'negligible', 'steadily', and 'markedly' show flexibility and control. The phrasing is generally natural and precise. However, there are a few awkward expressions, such as 'shared libraries' (should be 'public libraries') and 'declined farther' (should be 'declined further'), which slightly reduce the overall sophistication. The lexical resource is strong but not flawless.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences with subordinate clauses, which demonstrates good grammatical range. However, there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect accuracy. For example, 'a figure that than increased' should be 'a figure that then increased', and 'declined farther' should be 'declined further'. Additionally, there are missing commas in some places, such as after introductory phrases. These errors, while not impeding understanding, are noticeable and prevent a higher score. With more careful proofreading, the grammatical accuracy could be improved.
