The bar chart compares global sales in billions of dollars for four types of digital entertainment between 2000 and 2006.

Overall, handheld titles were the most successful and increased steadily every year. At the same time, console products lost their market share and went down. On the other hand, mobile and online sectors began with no revenue at all but became much more dominant by the end of the period.

Looking at the numbers, handheld games opened at about 11 billion dollars in 2000 and reached almost 18 billion in 2006. In contrast, console sales dropped from 6 billion dollars to less than 3 billion. Mobile and online categories appeared only after 2001. After that, they expanded very fast. By 2006, online gaming jumped to around 9 billion dollars, and mobile devices climbed to roughly 7 billion. This made them more profitable than consoles

Task Response

The report provides a clear and effective overview of the main trends, successfully identifying the growth in handheld, online, and mobile sectors versus the decline in console sales. The data is presented logically, and the comparisons between categories are well-handled. To improve, ensure that all specific data points mentioned are strictly aligned with the visual description (for example, the report mentions console sales dropping to 'less than 3 billion', whereas the description suggests it stabilized at 4 billion). However, the overall structure and ability to highlight key trends are excellent. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'At the same time', 'On the other hand', and 'In contrast' helps guide the reader through the comparisons effectively. The paragraphing is logical, moving from a general overview to specific details. To reach a higher band, you could use even more sophisticated transitional phrases to link the trends between different categories more seamlessly.

Lexical Resource

You have used a good range of vocabulary to describe trends, such as 'increased steadily', 'lost their market share', 'expanded very fast', and 'jumped to'. The terminology used to describe the categories is appropriate. To improve, try to incorporate more varied synonyms for 'sales' or 'revenue' and use more precise academic adjectives to describe the speed or scale of the changes (e.g., 'exponential growth' or 'marginal decline').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and various tenses. Most sentences are error-free and communicate the intended meaning clearly. There are minor phrasing issues, but they do not impede communication. To improve, focus on increasing the complexity of your sentence structures, perhaps by using more relative clauses or participial phrases to combine observations.
