The bar chart represents the employment rates of categorised age groups from 25 to 34 and 55 to 64-year-old based on their achieved education.

Overall, employment rates of the younger adults (25-34) had slightly declined in 2015 as compared to 2005, with an exception of Post secondary non-tertiary qualifications. By contrast, the older groups had steady growth in employment for all educational qualifications between 2005 to 2015.

In the 25-34 age group, upper secondary and below upper secondary qualifiers had seen a decline in employment rates by nearly 4% and tertiary educational qualifiers had seen a slight decline of nearly 0.1% as compared to post secondary non-tertiary qualifiers where the employment rate had experienced a slight gain. The younger adults were still leading the older groups by a large difference in the employment rates.

Analysing the employment rates of 55-64 year olds, it had improved percentages in 2015, as compared to 2005. All levels of education had been leading in occupation attainment, as in comparison with the younger adults, specially the below upper secondary educational qualifiers, where a significant gain had been seen, leading it to a positive development.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the chart and making some comparisons. However, there are inaccuracies in the data interpretation (e.g., stating that employment rates for younger adults declined overall, while the data shows increases for most categories). The overview is present but not entirely accurate. The report could be improved by more accurately selecting and reporting the main features, such as noting the general increase in employment rates for both age groups across most education levels, and by avoiding vague or incorrect statements (e.g., 'slightly declined' when data shows increases). Comparisons between age groups and years should be clearer and more precise.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and separate paragraphs for each age group. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'had slightly declined in 2015 as compared to 2005, with an exception of Post secondary non-tertiary qualifications' is confusing because the data shows an increase for that category). The use of cohesive devices is basic, and some sentences feel disconnected. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear topic sentence and that comparisons between groups are logically sequenced. Use a wider range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly', 'while') to guide the reader more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'categorised age groups', 'occupation attainment'). However, there are several inaccuracies and awkward choices (e.g., 'had seen a decline' instead of 'experienced a decline', 'leading it to a positive development' is vague). The range of vocabulary is limited, and some terms are repeated (e.g., 'qualifiers' is used multiple times). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary (e.g., 'qualifications', 'educational levels', 'attainment'), and avoid informal or unclear expressions. Aim for more natural collocations (e.g., 'employment rates rose/declined', 'a significant increase was observed').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward structures that affect clarity. For example, 'employment rates of the younger adults (25-34) had slightly declined in 2015 as compared to 2005, with an exception of Post secondary non-tertiary qualifications' is grammatically incorrect (should be 'except for' or 'with the exception of'). There are issues with tense consistency (e.g., 'had seen' vs 'saw'), subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'it had improved percentages'), and word order. Punctuation is mostly correct, but sentence structures are often repetitive (e.g., many sentences start with 'the younger adults' or 'the older groups'). To improve, practice using a wider range of sentence structures (e.g., complex sentences with relative clauses, conditionals) and ensure grammatical accuracy through careful proofreading.
