The line graph represents the percentages of the population in Japan divided by age groups from 1960 to 2040 with predictions.

Overall, Japan registered a downward trend for its child and adult population, with the exception of the elderly, who showed the reverse. Notably, the share old people was at the lowest level in the initial years, however, it considerably increased over the period and is expected to continue growing in the future.

Focusing first on increased figures, the proportion of adult residents from 25 to 64 age remained dominant over the period starting at about 65% and is predicted to retain its leading position inspite of falling to just over 50% in 2030, which is waited to go up to nearly 10% after a decade. Despite being at the bottom of the chart, the old population climbed up gradually to 30% in 2020 and is also expected to demonstrate an increase by 37% in the future.

Turning to the declined age groups, the share of children has experienced a downfall with fluctuations by 2000, which stood at only 20%. Then it followed an uninterrupted decrease and is predicted to go down to exactly 10% in 2040.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main trends and making comparisons between age groups. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies and unclear expressions (e.g., 'which is waited to go up to nearly 10% after a decade' seems confusing and may misrepresent the data). Additionally, some data points are imprecise or omitted, such as the exact percentages for the 25-64 age group in 2040. To improve, ensure that all data references are accurate and clearly explained, and avoid vague or ambiguous phrasing.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall trend description and separate paragraphs for different age groups. However, the flow could be improved. The phrase 'which is waited to go up to nearly 10% after a decade' is confusing and disrupts coherence. The connection between the 25-64 age group dropping and then rising is not clearly explained. Consider using clearer signposting and ensuring each paragraph has a single, clear focus.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate and includes some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'downward trend', 'reverse', 'dominant'). However, there are some inaccuracies and less natural choices. For example, 'the share old people' should be 'the share of old people', 'inspite of' should be 'in spite of', and 'waited' is likely a typo for 'expected'. The phrase 'climbed up gradually' is acceptable but could be more precise. To improve, focus on using more sophisticated and accurate collocations (e.g., 'experienced a steady decline' instead of 'has experienced a downfall with fluctuations').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences. However, there are several errors that affect clarity. Examples include: 'the share old people' (missing preposition), 'inspite of' (incorrect spelling), 'which is waited' (incorrect verb form), and 'has experienced a downfall with fluctuations by 2000' (unclear phrasing). Punctuation is generally correct. To improve, proofread carefully for common errors and practice using a wider variety of sentence structures with greater accuracy.
