The bar chart illustrates the five selected comparable types of work in Australia across 2001 and 2008.

Overall, it is apparent that sales consistently remained the most popular profession by a wide margin throughout the period. Additionally, while the number of people working in computing, nursing, and sales experienced an upward trajectory, employment in accounting and farming declined.

In 2001, sales employed the highest number of individuals at approximately 156,000, and this figure grew further to about 163,000 in 2008. Computing experienced the most significant growth, with the workforce rising from roughly 58,000 to 81,000 over the seven-year period. Meanwhile, the number of nurses remained relatively stable, showing only a slight increase from 58,000 to just over 60,000.

Conversely, employment in the other two sectors dropped. Accounting started at around 66,000 workers in 2001 but decreased to nearly 58,000 by 2008. Farming was the least popular job sector in both years.

Task Response

The report addresses the task and provides an overview of the trends. However, there are significant contradictions between the overview and the detailed body paragraphs. For instance, the overview states that sales experienced an upward trajectory, but the visual description suggests a decrease; more importantly, the body paragraph claims sales grew, while the overview claims it was the most popular (which is consistent, but the data trends provided in the report are inconsistent with the provided visual description). Additionally, the report fails to provide specific data for farming in the final paragraph, leaving the description of that sector incomplete. To improve, ensure that the trends identified in the overview are consistently supported by the data presented in the body paragraphs and that all categories mentioned are fully described with numerical data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear progression of ideas. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Additionally', 'Meanwhile', and 'Conversely' helps guide the reader through the comparisons effectively. The paragraphing is logical, separating the overview, the increasing trends, and the decreasing trends. To reach a higher band, ensure that the transition between the description of increasing trends and decreasing trends is even more seamless.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with good use of terms like 'upward trajectory', 'significant growth', and 'least popular job sector'. The writer demonstrates a good ability to paraphrase the prompt. To improve, the writer could incorporate more sophisticated synonyms for 'increase' and 'decrease' to avoid repetition and demonstrate even greater lexical flexibility.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a high level of grammatical accuracy. A variety of complex structures are used correctly, such as participial phrases ('showing only a slight increase...') and comparative structures. Punctuation is used effectively to manage sentence complexity. There are no noticeable errors that impede communication.
