The chart compares the number of four types of library items borrowed from public libraries in the UK from 1995 to 2005.

Overall, adult non-fiction was the most frequently borrowed type of item at the beginning of the period, despite experiencing a significant decline. By contrast, borrowing audio-visual material increased, while adult fiction and children’s books bucked the trend. Meanwhile, overall borrowing items from libraries decreased.

Starting with the big categories, Adult Non-Fiction accounted for 110 after experiencing a significant decline, peaking at 1113 at the outset of the period, whereas Adult Fiction did so, staning at 330 in 1995, decreasing before ending at 230.

Turning to the lowest figures, children’s books followed an upward trend from 107 to 114 in 2000 before finishing at 104, having nearly no change. By contrast, Audio-visual materials increased significantly from 28 in 1995 to 60 in 2005, which is virtually a double overall increase.

Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by providing an overview and describing the main trends for each category. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions in the data (e.g., adult non-fiction figures are misstated, and the overall trend is not clearly quantified). The structure is logical, but some sentences are awkwardly phrased and contain grammatical errors. To improve, ensure data accuracy, use clearer language, and provide a more precise summary of the overall trend.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and body paragraphs, but the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references. For example, 'Adult Non-Fiction accounted for 110 after experiencing a significant decline, peaking at 1113 at the outset of the period' is confusing because it mentions the peak after the decline. Additionally, the phrase 'bucked the trend' is used incorrectly, as it implies a contrast that is not clearly explained. The paragraphing is adequate, but the logical progression within paragraphs could be improved for better coherence.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'accounted for', 'significant decline', 'upward trend', and 'virtually a double overall increase'. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward choices, such as 'bucked the trend' (which is misused) and 'staning' (a typo for 'standing'). The phrasing 'having nearly no change' is slightly unnatural. To improve, use more precise and natural collocations, and ensure that all terms are used correctly.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and some use of passive voice. However, there are several errors and awkward constructions that affect clarity. For example, 'Adult Non-Fiction accounted for 110 after experiencing a significant decline, peaking at 1113 at the outset of the period' is grammatically incorrect and confusing. Also, 'staning' is a spelling error, and 'having nearly no change' is awkward. Punctuation is mostly correct, but the overall accuracy needs improvement to achieve a higher band.
