The chart illustrates the hours spent on the most popular leisure and physical activities among people over 75 and teens aged 15 to 19 in the USA in 2015.

Overall, watching television was the most popular activity among Americans, while they were not quite satisfied with chilling and thinking. Sports, playing video games, and communication were not as common as watching TV shows.

Americans’ elders(over 75 years old) spent 4.5 hours watching TV, whereas their passion for sport and recreation was the least. They only exercised for half an hour in their free time in 2015. Also, teenagers watched TV for 2.4 hours. This activity was so common among these two social groups. Relaxing and reading were not particularly considered the best choices for teenagers. They spent 0.2 and 0.1 hours on them, respectively. However, the elderly spent 1 hour on reading and 0.6 hours on chilling.

Playing video games or using a computer was the second most popular activity among younger people in this figure. They used computers for 1.1 hours as a leisure activity. Older peoples’ time lining on computer use was almost near to reading with 0.5 hour. Finally, socializing was satisfying for both groups. Teens spent 0.8 hours communicating in their free time, and older people spent 0.7 hours on that.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and comparing the two age groups across the activities. The overall trend is clearly identified, and key data points are included. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies and omissions: the data for 'Relaxing, thinking' for the elderly is not specified, and the figure for teenagers' socializing is stated as 0.8 hours instead of 0.6. Additionally, some phrasing is informal (e.g., 'not quite satisfied with chilling and thinking', 'time lining'), which could be more precise. To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported and use more formal academic language.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction and overview. However, the body paragraphs could be more logically structured. For instance, the data for each age group is presented in a somewhat mixed manner, and the final paragraph introduces socializing without a clear link to the previous points. To improve, consider grouping the data by activity or age group more consistently, and use cohesive devices to smoothly transition between ideas. Additionally, ensure that the overview clearly highlights the most significant trends, such as the contrast between TV watching and other activities.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and mostly accurate, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'leisure and physical activities', 'passion for sport'). However, there are a few awkward or informal expressions, such as 'not quite satisfied with chilling and thinking' and 'time lining on computer use', which detract from the overall sophistication. To improve, use more precise and formal academic vocabulary, and avoid colloquial terms like 'chilling'. Also, ensure that word choices are natural and collocationally correct (e.g., 'spent time on' instead of 'time lining on').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures with mostly accurate usage. There are minor errors, such as missing apostrophes in 'elders' and 'peoples' (should be 'elders'' and 'people's'), and a slight inconsistency in verb tense (e.g., 'was' vs. 'were'). However, these are infrequent and do not impede understanding. To achieve a higher score, ensure consistent subject-verb agreement and correct use of possessive forms. Additionally, vary sentence structures more to show full flexibility, and pay attention to punctuation in complex sentences.
