The bar chart gives information about how many people visited the museum and whether they were younger or older from 1997 to 2012.

Overall, we can see that the adults had the highest percentage of journeys to the place, while the special exhibition had the lowest. Also, it seems that 2007 was the year with the most individuals.

According to the data shown, in 1997, people over 18 numbered 300100, but it decreased for preteens, who numbered 120000. In 2002, the grown ups increased by 20000; on the other hand, for children, it dropped by 11000. As for the important figures visiting, the number for them in 2002 was 29200, whereas in 1997, it was 28000.

In the middle of the period, 2007, the proportion of old people rose more than before by a major crowd; as for the ones who were under 15, it fell to 87000; however, fortunately, for the significant participants, it went up to 37700.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the three types of visitors over the given period, but it contains significant inaccuracies and misinterpretations of the data. For example, the numbers for 'Visitors aged under 15' and 'Special Exhibition visitors' are confused, and the trends described do not match the visual description. The report also uses inappropriate language (e.g., 'percentage of journeys', 'preteens', 'grown ups', 'important figures') and lacks clear comparisons between the categories. To improve, focus on accurately reporting the data, using precise terms for the visitor types, and making clear comparisons (e.g., noting that adult visitors were consistently the highest, while special exhibition visitors declined over time). Avoid subjective or vague phrasing and ensure the main trends are correctly identified.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a basic structure with an introduction and an overview, but the progression of information is not always logical or easy to follow. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate (e.g., 'According to the data shown' is followed by a comparison that is not clearly linked). Paragraphing is present but not always effectively managed, as the second paragraph attempts to cover multiple time points without clear separation. To improve, focus on creating clear, distinct paragraphs for each main time period or trend, and use a wider range of linking words and phrases (e.g., 'In contrast', 'Similarly', 'This was followed by') to guide the reader smoothly through the data.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is limited and repetitive, with some inappropriate word choices that affect clarity (e.g., 'journeys to the place' instead of 'visitors', 'preteens' for 'visitors under 15', 'important figures' and 'significant participants' for 'Special Exhibition visitors'). There is an attempt to vary language (e.g., 'grown ups', 'mature people'), but these are not always accurate or natural in this context. To improve, learn and use a wider range of precise vocabulary related to trends and data (e.g., 'increased steadily', 'peaked at', 'declined gradually', 'accounted for'), and avoid informal or vague terms. Practice describing categories accurately without paraphrasing them in confusing ways. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a limited range of grammatical structures, with several errors in subject-verb agreement, tense, and word order (e.g., 'it decreased for preteens, who numbered 120000' is unclear; 'the grown ups increased by 20000' should be 'the number of adults increased by 20,000'; 'it kept on falling, reaching 82300' is awkward). Punctuation is also inconsistent, with missing commas in large numbers. To improve, practice using a variety of sentence structures (simple, compound, complex) and ensure subject-verb agreement and correct tense usage. Review the correct way to write numbers and use commas for clarity. Proofreading for basic grammar errors will significantly enhance accuracy.
