Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting the main features and making relevant comparisons between the two schools. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies in the data (e.g., Science for School B is stated as 3 instead of 2, and Language for School B as 17 instead of 18). Additionally, the phrase 'experienced both increases and decreases during the period' is inappropriate for a static chart, as it implies a time trend. To improve, ensure all data points are accurate and avoid language that suggests change over time when the chart is categorical. Overall, the response is well-organized and covers the key information sufficiently.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear overall statement and a division into two main paragraphs. However, the opening sentence is a bit long and could be split for clarity. The use of cohesive devices is adequate, but there are minor lapses, such as the phrase 'the popular' which should be 'the most popular', and the transition 'Regarding' could be smoother. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but there is room for more sophisticated paragraphing and linking.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'chosen by', 'selected', 'the opposite pattern'). However, there are a few inaccuracies and repetitions, such as 'popular' used multiple times and 'the popular' instead of 'the most popular'. The range of vocabulary is adequate but not extensive, and more precise terms could be used to describe the data (e.g., 'significantly higher', 'considerably lower'). Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. However, there are some errors that affect accuracy, such as 'Craft/Drawing were popular' (should be 'was' or 'were' depending on interpretation) and 'the popular' (missing 'most'). Punctuation is mostly correct, but the first sentence is a run-on. Overall, the grammar is controlled, but there are minor errors that prevent a higher score.
