The chart illustrates the number of magazines sold per person in five countries in 2000 and 2010, with projected sales for 2020.

Overall, country A, country B, and country C had approximately the same charts, since all countries had similar figures where number of sold magazines in 2000 was the highest, in 2010 was the second, and in 2020 will be the third. In contrast, country D had opposite figures, where number of sold magazines in 2020 will be the highest and in 2000 will be the lowest.

In detail, country A sold 50 magazines in 2000, then it accounted for around 45 in 2000. The predicted sales in 2020 will be about 40. Similarly, country B had relatively the same figures in 2000 and 2010, but projection sales for 2020 will make about 45 magazines. In 2000, country C sold about 35 magazines, in 2010, that figure decreased slightly to over 30. The projection sales for 2020 will be lower than in 2010, at about 30.

On the other hand, country D made up around 15 magazines in 2000 and just above 20 in 2010. By contrast, their predicted sales in 2020 will be about 25 magazines. Country E recorded the lowest figures, about 5 in 2000, little higher in 2010, and the same figure as in 2000 for projection sales in 2020.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task and provides a description of the trends for all five countries. However, there are significant issues with data accuracy and logical consistency. In the overview, the claim that countries A, B, and C follow the same pattern is contradicted by the specific data provided in the body paragraphs. Furthermore, many of the figures cited in the report do not align with the provided visual description (for example, the values for Country A, B, and C in the report differ significantly from the description). To improve, ensure that the overview accurately reflects the trends described in the details and double-check that the numerical data reported matches the visual information provided.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report attempts to organize information into an introduction, overview, and detail paragraphs, which is a good structure. However, the cohesion is weakened by repetitive phrasing and some logical inconsistencies in how comparisons are made. For example, the overview states that countries A, B, and C had 'approximately the same charts,' which is a vague way to describe trends. To improve, use more varied cohesive devices and ensure that your overview summarizes the main trends (e.g., declining vs. increasing trends) rather than just stating they are 'similar'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is somewhat limited and repetitive. Phrases like 'number of sold magazines' and 'projection sales' are used multiple times. There are also instances of imprecise word choices, such as 'made up around 15 magazines' (magazines are sold, not 'made up') or 'had approximately the same charts.' To reach a higher band, aim to use a wider range of synonyms for 'sold' (e.g., purchased, consumed), 'show' (e.g., depict, illustrate), and 'projections' (e.g., anticipated, forecasted, predicted). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical issues that affect the flow of the report. There are errors in tense usage, particularly when switching between past data (2000, 2010) and future projections (2020). For instance, 'in 2010 was the second' is a fragment. Additionally, there are errors in article usage and sentence structure (e.g., 'where number of sold magazines'). Try to practice complex sentence structures, such as using relative clauses (e.g., 'Country A, which saw a decline from 50 in 2000, is expected to...') to improve accuracy and sophistication.
