Overall, people who are retired and unemployed have the highest amount of leisure time to spend, which is around 80 hours a week for males and aproximately 70 hours a week for females, whereas full-time employed females have the lowest amount of leisure time which is below 40 hours a week.

Full-time employed males have a little more free time to spend than part-time employed females which is around 50 hours a week and the housewives get more than 50 hours a week of leisure time.

In conclusion, people who are employed get the lowest amount of leisure time to spend in a week, whereas people with no job enjoy the highest amount of leisure time. Among female employees those with part-time jobs get more leisure time than those with full-time jobs.

Task Response

The report covers the main trends and makes relevant comparisons between the different employment categories and genders. The overview is clear and effectively highlights the most significant data points. To improve, ensure that all data points mentioned are as accurate as possible based on the visual information provided (for example, the distinction between full-time and part-time male leisure time). Additionally, avoid using a 'conclusion' paragraph in Task 1; instead, ensure the 'overall' summary is robust, as a conclusion is more suited to Task 2 opinion essays.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The progression of ideas is easy to follow. To improve, try to use a wider variety of cohesive devices and transition signals to connect sentences more smoothly. The conclusion is somewhat repetitive of the overview; in Task 1, it is often better to focus on a strong overview in the second paragraph rather than a concluding summary.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, but it is somewhat repetitive (e.g., frequent use of 'amount of leisure time' and 'people'). To reach a higher band, aim to use more varied synonyms such as 'spare time,' 'unstructured time,' or 'periods of relaxation.' Additionally, ensure consistent spelling, as 'aproximately' and 'famales' were misspelled. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of sentence structures, including comparative forms which are essential for this task. Most sentences are clear and error-free. To improve, work on refining complex sentence structures to ensure they are more sophisticated and pay closer attention to minor spelling errors that can occur during drafting.
