Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by providing data for both years and mentioning various age groups. However, there are significant issues with how the data is described. The writer repeatedly refers to the data points as 'charts' (e.g., 'the biggest chart in 2014'), which is an incorrect use of terminology; they should refer to 'percentages', 'figures', or 'proportions'. Additionally, there is a contradiction in the overview where it states 2018 is 'considerably higher' than 2014, but the visual description suggests a general decrease in most groups. To improve, focus on using accurate mathematical vocabulary and ensure that the overview accurately reflects the main trends shown in the data. Work on distinguishing between the 'chart' (the whole visual) and the 'data/figures' (the specific numbers within it).

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the cohesion is weakened by repetitive sentence structures (e.g., starting almost every sentence with 'The number of...') and the misuse of the word 'chart' to refer to data points or bars. To improve, use a wider variety of cohesive devices and transition signals. Instead of repeating 'The number of...', try using phrases like 'In terms of...', 'Regarding...', or 'A similar pattern was observed in...'. Additionally, ensure that the relationship between ideas is clearer through better use of conjunctions.

Lexical Resource

There is a significant misuse of vocabulary that affects clarity. The student repeatedly uses the word 'chart' to refer to the data values or the bars within the graph (e.g., 'the biggest chart in 2014 was a 26-35 age group'). A 'chart' is the entire visual tool, not the individual data points. You should use terms like 'percentage', 'proportion', 'figure', 'group', or 'category'. There are also spelling errors (e.g., 'higger' instead of 'higher') and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'did not shopped as in online as'). Focus on learning precise academic vocabulary for describing trends and proportions. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement, tense consistency (e.g., 'did not shopped'), and sentence construction (e.g., 'the number of 35-45 age group recorded just under 40%' is grammatically awkward; it should be 'the 35-45 age group recorded...'). Punctuation errors, such as missing spaces after commas, are also present. To improve, practice complex sentence structures and pay close attention to the rules of past tense usage and noun-phrase construction.
