The chart compares the preferred subjects of 60 students between two separate schools, namely School A and School B.

Overall, students from School A mainly select sport, showing an evident preference among academic courses. On the contrary, the subjects are distributed more evenly at School B.

Among the students of School A, 36 students, which is more than half of the population, opt for sport. For their counterparts, however, sport is the second least favourite subject, appealing to only five among sixty students. The contradiction continues to be observed in arts and crafts, with it being the subject with the fewest students from School A favouring it, only one-ninth of the number of those who choose sport; but the most favoured for their equivalent with nearly 50% of their total.

There is a similarity in both schools that can be found in science. Besides crafts/drawing being the least favoured in School A, science only captivates 9 out of 60 pupils of the school. The number is noticeably lower in School B, with barely two students who take it into their liking.

Task Response

The report provides a very strong overview and covers the main trends and comparisons effectively. The use of mathematical comparisons (e.g., 'one-ninth', 'nearly 50%') enhances the quality of the data analysis. To improve, ensure that the overview is entirely accurate; the claim that subjects in School B are 'distributed more evenly' is slightly debatable given the heavy concentration in Craft/Drawing, but the overall response is highly successful in meeting the task requirements.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized, moving from a general overview to specific comparisons. The use of cohesive devices such as 'On the contrary', 'however', and 'Besides' helps guide the reader through the comparisons. However, some transitions feel slightly forced, and the connection between the final paragraph's points could be smoother. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic sentence that dictates the flow of the subsequent sentences.

Lexical Resource

You have used a good range of vocabulary to avoid repetition, such as 'opt for', 'counterparts', 'captivates', and 'appealing to'. There is an attempt to use sophisticated phrasing like 'the contradiction continues to be observed'. To reach a higher band, aim for more natural collocations. For example, 'take it into their liking' is slightly awkward; 'prefer it' or 'show an interest in it' would be more natural. Additionally, ensure that terms like 'academic courses' are used precisely, as 'Sport' is often categorized separately from academic subjects.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a variety of complex sentence structures, including relative clauses and comparative structures. Most sentences are clear and convey the intended meaning. However, there are some minor issues with sentence construction and punctuation that affect the flow. For instance, the sentence starting with 'The contradiction continues...' is quite long and becomes slightly convoluted. Breaking down very long sentences into smaller, more impactful ones can improve clarity and grammatical precision.
