Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main features of the chart and making some comparisons between men and women. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data presented (e.g., percentages for spending time with family, doing sports, reading, using the internet, and playing computer games are not correctly reported). The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and separate paragraphs for male and female activities, but the data errors detract from the accuracy of the response. To improve, ensure that all figures are correctly extracted from the chart and that comparisons are made accurately. Additionally, avoid vague phrases like 'more than 75%' when specific percentages are available, and ensure that the overview clearly highlights the most significant trends.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall structure: introduction, overview, and two body paragraphs for male and female activities. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Additionally', 'Looking first at', and 'Turning to' helps guide the reader. However, there are some minor lapses in coherence, such as the phrase 'about the differences between two genders' which is slightly awkward, and the transition from the male to female paragraph could be smoother. The paragraphing is logical, but the final sentence about computer games could be better integrated. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but there is room for more seamless cohesion.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'illustrates', 'proportion', 'distinct types', 'dominates', 'least preferred', and 'opposite trend'. There is some good use of synonyms and paraphrasing. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'sees the highest proportion of activity done by both genders' (which is a bit unnatural), 'led by males' (should be 'dominated by males'), and 'record the same figures' (which is slightly informal). Additionally, the phrase 'with their figures ranging from 70%' is imprecise. The vocabulary is adequate but lacks the sophistication and precision expected for a higher band score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of sentence structures, including complex sentences and some use of passive voice. There are minor grammar errors and phrasing issues, such as 'Turning female's preferences' (should be 'Turning to female preferences'), 'playing computer shows' (missing 'games'), and 'the most popular activity in males' (should be 'among males'). Additionally, the use of 'with more than 75% followed by spending time with family, doing sport/exercise, each with 75%' is slightly confusing and could be rephrased for clarity. Overall, the grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors that prevent it from being fully controlled.
