Band 7+: The chart below shows the results of a European survey into young people's expectations for change in five different areas of life in the next 20 years. They were asked if they thought things would improve or get worse.

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and comparing the data across the five areas. It provides an overview and highlights key features, such as the highest and lowest percentages. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the report mentions 'those who did not expect any change' but the data actually refers to those who think things will get worse. Also, the figures for 'no change' are not provided in the visual description, so this interpretation is incorrect. Additionally, the report omits the percentage for food quality worsening (51%) and does not clearly distinguish between 'improve' and 'get worse' categories. To improve, ensure that the data is accurately represented and that the report clearly separates the two response categories (improve vs. get worse) for each area. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

The report is well-organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The information is presented logically, and the use of cohesive devices is effective. However, the overview could be more comprehensive by including a summary of the main trends for both improvement and worsening expectations. Additionally, the final paragraph introduces new data (the 'no change' figures) that was not mentioned in the overview, which slightly disrupts the flow. To improve, ensure that the overview covers all key features and that each paragraph has a clear central topic.

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with good use of synonyms (e.g., 'illustrates', 'recorded', 'figures'). The report demonstrates a good range of lexical items, but there is room for more sophisticated and precise language. For example, instead of repeating 'had the highest figure', you could use 'topped the list' or 'was the most significant'. Additionally, using more specific terms like 'percentage' or 'proportion' instead of 'figure' would enhance lexical variety. Overall, the language is clear and accurate, but a wider range of vocabulary would elevate the score. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

The report demonstrates a wide range of grammatical structures used accurately and flexibly. Sentences are well-constructed, and punctuation is correct throughout. The use of comparative structures (e.g., 'at 54%, followed by', 'with a difference of only two percentage points') is effective. There are no noticeable grammar errors, and the report is easy to read. To maintain this high standard, continue to use a variety of sentence structures and ensure that all comparisons are clear and precise.
