Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task by identifying the categories and providing an overview. However, the data presentation in the body paragraphs is inconsistent and becomes confusing toward the end. There are significant inaccuracies in how the data is reported (for example, stating Malaysia has two-thirds with no qualification when the description suggests 30%), and the final paragraph lacks clarity and specific data to support the comparison. To improve, ensure that every comparison is backed by accurate figures from the chart and avoid vague concluding sentences that do not provide meaningful information. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the report is somewhat disjointed. While there is an attempt at an overview and specific details, the progression of ideas is interrupted by fragmented sentences. For example, the final paragraph contains a sentence fragment ('While the figures of both sides have same proportions') that does not form a complete thought and lacks a clear connection to the preceding sentence. To improve, ensure that every sentence is grammatically complete and that transitions between comparing the two countries are smooth and logical.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and repetitive. There are several instances of awkward phrasing, such as 'the figure of people who live in Singapore' (which is irrelevant to the context of qualifications) and 'the percentage of people who are from Singapore shows much higher than Malaysia'. To reach a higher band, aim for more precise academic collocations, such as 'the proportion of graduates,' 'the prevalence of,' or 'a significant disparity between.' Avoid using 'figures of both sides' and instead use more specific terms like 'the respective percentages'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and occasionally impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement, article usage (e.g., 'with master's degree' instead of 'with a master's degree'), and sentence structure. The use of 'Whereas' at the start of a sentence that lacks a main clause is a common error. Additionally, the comparison structures are often incorrect (e.g., 'shows much higher than Malaysia' should be 'is much higher than that of Malaysia'). Focus on mastering comparative structures and ensuring that complex sentences are fully developed.
