The bar chart illustrates the number of spending time for young people and old people in a lot of activities like watching TV, reading, and more in 2015 in the US

Overall, people spent much of their free time watching TV. In addition, people ages 75 and over used time for relaxing thinking and reading. In contrast, people ages 15-19 favored leisure activities like playing games and socializing.

Looking first at older adults perfect with slightly changes, especially with a figure of watching TV for those ages around 4.5 hours, which was twice that of younger people. Similarly, the number of reading and relaxing thinking was also more pronounced among older people; however, there was a significant difference of 1 hour in the number of older people. It was five times as high as that for younger people. The figure of relaxing thinking recorded was higher than this, 0.6 hours and 0.1 hours, respectively.

Moving on to activities more popular among individuals aged. The most noticeable difference was seen in playing games, when their time using it was more than double that of those ages. In the same way, using time for sport was also preferred by younger people, with figure three times that of older adults.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by comparing leisure activities between the two age groups and includes an overview. However, there are several inaccuracies and unclear descriptions (e.g., 'relaxing thinking' is mentioned twice with different figures, and socializing data is misstated as 0.8 and 0.7 hours instead of 0.6 and 0.25). Some sentences are confusing or incomplete (e.g., 'older adults perfect with slightly changes', 'activities more popular among individuals aged'). To improve, ensure data is reported accurately, clarify comparisons, and proofread for grammatical clarity and coherence.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction and an overview, but the body paragraphs lack clear organization and logical progression. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate, making the message difficult to follow in places. For example, phrases like 'Looking first at older adults perfect with slightly changes' are unclear. To improve, focus on creating clear topic sentences for each paragraph and using a range of linking words and phrases to show relationships between ideas. Ensure each paragraph discusses a distinct set of data points or comparisons.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task but lacks range and precision. There are some attempts at paraphrasing, but errors like 'number of spending time' and 'figure of watching TV' show limited control. The report would benefit from using a wider variety of synonyms and more specific terms related to data description (e.g., 'amount of time', 'rate', 'proportion'). Avoid informal or vague language and aim for more natural and sophisticated lexical choices.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a limited range of grammatical structures, with frequent errors that affect clarity. Issues include incorrect word forms ('relaxing thinking'), subject-verb agreement, and awkward phrasing ('Looking first at older adults perfect with slightly changes'). While some complex sentences are attempted, they are often flawed. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures accurately, such as comparative forms and relative clauses. Pay close attention to basic grammar rules and proofread carefully to eliminate errors.
