The chart illustrates expectations of younger generations for change in five sectors of life in the next 20 years.

Overall, four of five categories include similar views with almost fifty to fifty, while the remaining category shows a little improvement expectation and tripled expectation about getting worse.

The results of a European survey represent that communication between people will be altered in an exellent way accounting 54% of young people’s expectations, while other perspectives are about deterioration. In contrast, quality of food is expected to get worse more than develop. Quality of water and health are going to be declined more than improved with proportion of 60% and 58%. The least expectation in enhancement is quality of air in cities, with only 23%. It demonstrates 77% to worsening, which is the most regression that is expected in the next 20 years comparingly to other different areas of life.

Task Response

The report adequately addresses the task by presenting an overview and key data points. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasing. For instance, the statement 'four of five categories include similar views with almost fifty to fifty' is misleading, as only communication and food are near 50-50. Also, 'tripled expectation about getting worse' is unclear. The report could be improved by more precise language and clearer comparisons. Overall, the main trends are covered, but some lapses in accuracy and clarity are present. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction and an overview, but the organization of details is somewhat confusing. The overview is vague and does not clearly summarize the main trends. The body paragraphs mix categories without clear grouping, and the use of cohesive devices is limited. To improve, provide a clearer overview that highlights the most significant trends (e.g., the majority expect worsening in most areas, with air quality being the most pessimistic). Group similar data together and use a range of linking words to improve flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited in range and precision. Some word choices are inaccurate or awkward (e.g., 'altered in an exellent way', 'tripled expectation', 'regression'). There is some attempt to use synonyms (e.g., 'deterioration', 'worsening'), but the language is not consistently natural or sophisticated. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary (e.g., 'anticipate', 'predict', 'pessimistic', 'optimistic') and avoid informal or incorrect expressions. Ensure correct spelling (e.g., 'excellent').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that affect clarity. There are issues with subject-verb agreement, prepositions, and word order (e.g., 'four of five categories include similar views', 'Quality of water and health are going to be declined'). The range of sentence structures is limited, with many simple sentences. To improve, use a wider variety of complex structures (e.g., relative clauses, passive voice) and ensure grammatical accuracy. Proofread to eliminate errors and improve overall clarity.
