Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and making some comparisons between 1995 and 2005. However, there are several inaccuracies and omissions that detract from the overall clarity. For instance, the percentage for sporting facilities in 1995 is incorrectly stated as 20% instead of 19%, and the 2005 figure is given as '6-7%' rather than the exact 6%. Additionally, the report misinterprets the data for 'close to parental home' and 'quality of teaching' in 2005, stating 23% and 17% respectively, whereas the correct figures are 22% and 18%. The report also lacks a clear overview of the most significant changes, such as the notable increase in 'close to parental home' and the sharp decline in 'sporting facilities'. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the data and providing a clearer summary of the main trends and comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, body, and conclusion, but the flow of ideas is often disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references. The body paragraph attempts to group data by trends, but the progression is not always logical, and some sentences are difficult to follow. To improve, use clear topic sentences for each paragraph and ensure that each sentence logically connects to the next. Also, avoid introducing new information in the conclusion; instead, summarize the main trends concisely.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there is limited range and some imprecise word choices (e.g., 'quantity of students' instead of 'percentage of students', 'learning places' instead of 'universities', 'possessed with' instead of 'had'). To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'proportion', 'accounted for', 'experienced a rise', and 'remained stable'. Also, avoid informal or incorrect phrases like 'run over' and ensure that terms like 'sporting facilities' are used correctly.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains numerous grammatical errors and awkward structures that impede clarity. Examples include subject-verb agreement issues, incorrect verb forms, and unclear comparisons. There is also inconsistent use of articles and prepositions. To improve, focus on writing simpler, clearer sentences and ensure that each sentence is grammatically correct. Practice using a variety of sentence structures, such as complex sentences with relative clauses, but only if you can do so accurately. Proofreading for common errors like tense consistency and subject-verb agreement is essential.
