The bar chart illustrates the proportion of approved and constructed apartments in four Australia’s urban areas from 2012 to 2016.

Overall, the chart displays different trends in particular cities: the number of approved apartments in large cities like Sydney and Melbourne increased significantly throughout the period but fluctuated in Brisbane and Perth. Despite the differences, the amount of apartments approved in construction increased in each city.

Sidney’s number of approved apartments received 15000 in 2012, which grow to around 17000 apartments in 2013 and 2014. After that, there was a massive resurgence in 2015 to 30000 apartments, that increased to just below 35 thousand apartments, reaching its highest peak. In 2012, Melbourne started at around 16000 apartments, before falling steadily to 15000 in 2013. In 2014, there was a dramatic increase to over 20 thousand apartments that fluctuated until the end of the period.

In 2012, Brisbane reached more than 5000 apartments, before rising steeply and hovering between 10000 and 15000 in other 3 years. And finally, Perth, which received around 2500 apartments and grew gradually to approximately 6 thousand in 2014 and 2015, before receding to 5 thousand approved apartments in 2016.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the general trends and providing some specific data for each city. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., Sydney's 2013 and 2014 figures, Melbourne's starting point, Brisbane's 2012 figure, and Perth's figures) and some omissions (e.g., Melbourne's 2015 and 2016 values, Brisbane's 2013 and 2014 values). The overall trend statement is also slightly contradictory, as it says the number increased in each city, but Perth's figures decreased at the end. To improve, ensure that all key data points are accurately reported and that the overview is consistent with the data. Additionally, avoid vague phrases like 'fluctuated' without specifying the years or values.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes difficult to follow due to inaccurate data references and unclear phrasing. For example, the description of Sydney's data is confusing, and the transition between cities could be smoother. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and some sentences are awkwardly constructed, which affects the overall flow. To improve, ensure each paragraph focuses on a clear set of data points and use a range of linking words and referencing to create a more logical and effortless progression.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'increased significantly', 'fluctuated', 'rising steeply', 'receding'), which shows a reasonable range. However, there are inaccuracies and awkward word choices, such as 'proportion of approved and constructed apartments' (the chart shows numbers, not proportions), 'massive resurgence' (not the best collocation), and 'hovering between 10000 and 15000 in other 3 years' (unclear and informal). To achieve a higher score, use more precise and natural collocations, and ensure the vocabulary accurately reflects the data (e.g., 'number' instead of 'proportion', 'peaked' instead of 'reaching its highest peak').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'four Australia's urban areas' should be 'four Australian urban areas', 'Sidney' should be 'Sydney', and 'which grow' should be 'which grew'. There are also issues with subject-verb agreement and article usage. The grammar error info indicates that these issues affect coherence and cohesion. To improve, focus on proofreading for common errors, use a wider range of complex structures with accuracy, and ensure that punctuation is used correctly to enhance readability.
