Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main trends across the three age groups, including the forecast period. The overview correctly identifies the general pattern of decline for the younger groups and increase for the older group. However, there are some minor inaccuracies and omissions in the data (e.g., 'round 60%' for the 25-64 group in 2040 should be 56%, and the 0-14 group is projected to reach 9% in 2040, not 10%). The language is generally clear, but some phrasing is awkward (e.g., 'all figures fall from period', 'the highest figure made by'). To improve, focus on precise data reporting and smoother sentence structures. Overall, the response covers the requirements of the task with some lapses. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction and two main paragraphs, but the flow of information is sometimes unclear. The use of cohesive devices is limited and occasionally inaccurate (e.g., 'Starting with decreases', 'Turning to increase'). The paragraphing could be improved to better separate trends and time periods. To improve, use a wider range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly', 'over the period') and ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited and repetitive (e.g., 'figure', 'population by age'). There are some inaccuracies in word choice (e.g., 'excepting' instead of 'except for', 'round' instead of 'approximately'). To improve, use a wider range of precise vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'decline', 'rise', 'peak', 'plateau', 'fluctuate') and avoid informal or incorrect terms. Also, vary the way you refer to the age groups.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that affect clarity (e.g., 'all figures fall from period', 'the highest figure made by', 'it will decrease to round 60% Next'). There is limited variety in sentence structures, and punctuation is often missing or incorrect. To improve, practice using a mix of simple and complex sentences, ensure subject-verb agreement, and use correct punctuation (e.g., full stops and commas). Proofreading for common errors would also help.
