The line graph illustrates the percentage of Japan’s population in three different age groups( 0-14, 25-64, 65+), including predictions.

Overall, 25-64 age group remains the largest throughout the period, although it gradually declined after 1990. In contrast, the number of people who are over 65 rises steadily, while 0-14 aged group declined significantly.

In 1960, 65% of the population was aged 25-64, compared with 30 % of 0-14 group, and only 4 % for those aged over 65. The working age group reached around 70% in both 1970 and 1990, before decreasing 65% in 2010. During the same period, the children group dropped from 30% to around 18%.

According to the forecast, 65+ aged group will continue to grow significantly from 24% in 2010 and to around 35% in 2040. Meanwhile the percentage of children are expect to fall to only 10%. The 25-64 age group will decrease to around 55% in 2030, before rising slightly to 57% in 2040.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing age groups. The overview is clear, and the data is presented logically. Minor inaccuracies (e.g., 4% for 65+ in 1960 instead of 5%, and slight discrepancies in later figures) do not detract significantly from the overall quality. To improve, ensure precise data transcription and consider a more balanced coverage of all age groups in the body paragraphs.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall trend and specific data. However, the paragraphing could be improved: the second paragraph mixes past data and future predictions, and the third paragraph focuses on forecasts but also includes some past data. Consider separating past and future data more clearly. Cohesive devices are used adequately but could be more varied.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and mostly accurate, with some good collocations like 'gradually declined' and 'rises steadily'. However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'age group' used frequently) and a few awkward phrases (e.g., 'the number of people who are over 65 rises' could be 'the proportion of those aged 65+ rises'). A wider range of synonyms and more sophisticated expressions would enhance the report. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues. For example: '0-14 aged group' should be '0-14 age group'; 'the children group' is awkward; 'are expect' should be 'are expected'; 'before decreasing 65%' should be 'before decreasing to 65%'; missing commas after introductory phrases. More careful proofreading and use of a wider range of structures would improve accuracy.
