The bar chart compares information about sources borrowed from the public libraries in UK between 1995 to 2005, measured in millions.

Overall, the breakdown of the library borrowings reveal that adult non-fiction recorded the largest figure in 1995, with a dramatic decrease in the following years. An opposite picture can be observed in adult fiction which was the second biggest category and witnessed a gradual decrease. This was a stark contrast to audio-visual material which ranked the last on the list in 1995 and experienced a gradual rise throughout the period.

Adult non-fiction stood at 1113 in 1995 topping the list, and dropped substantially, but was the frequently borrowed source from the library. While adult fiction was the second popular library borrowing with 330, underwent a marginal decrease to 230 over a 10-year period.

Children’s books initially marked 107 with an increase to 114 in 2000, fell to 104 in 2005. However, Top audio- visual materials was the smallest figure which accounted for 28 and rose noticeably to 60 in 2005, remaining the last on the list.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing the categories over the given period. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., adult non-fiction values for 1995 and 2000 are misstated, and the description of adult fiction's trend as 'gradual decrease' is correct but the figures given are not entirely accurate based on the visual description). Additionally, some phrasing could be more precise (e.g., 'sources borrowed' instead of 'sources borrowed from the libraries'). To improve, ensure data figures are correctly reported and consider using more varied vocabulary to describe changes. Overall, the response covers the requirements of the task with minor omissions and lapses.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction and overview. However, there are some minor lapses in cohesion, such as the use of 'but was the frequently borrowed source' which is awkward and disrupts flow. Also, the final sentence could be better linked to the previous one. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but some transitions could be smoother.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and shows some flexibility (e.g., 'dramatic decrease', 'stark contrast', 'noticeably'). However, there are some inaccuracies and repetitions (e.g., 'popular' used twice, 'borrowed source' instead of 'borrowed category'). A wider range of precise terms could enhance the report.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'the breakdown of the library borrowings reveal' should be 'reveals', 'but was the frequently borrowed source' is ungrammatical, and 'underwent a marginal decrease to 230' is missing a subject. The report would benefit from more accurate grammar and varied sentence structures.
