Adolescents group with 15-24 ages accounted for 21% in 2020, the figure will show a gradual decline all over the period. In 2030, the rate is expected to fall from 21% to 18% and after a decade figure makes up 15%. At the end of the period, figure is forecast to stand at 7%, which is the smallest figure all over the period of all types of age groups.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies in data reporting and contradictory trends that undermine the overall overview. For instance, the overview states that the oldest group will show a 'gradual decline,' yet the data provided in the body paragraphs and the visual description suggests a different trend (the visual description actually shows a massive increase for the 55+ group). Furthermore, the report contains internal contradictions; for example, in the paragraph regarding the 25-54 age group, it describes a continuous decline but then concludes by stating the highest figure will be 45% at the end of the period. To improve, ensure that the trends described in the overview accurately reflect the data presented in the body paragraphs, and double-check that the numerical values and directions of change (increase vs. decrease) are consistent throughout the response.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report structure is somewhat logical, with a clear attempt to organize information by age group. However, there are significant issues with the logical flow and the accuracy of the overview. The overview states that all ages will show growth except the oldest group, but the body paragraphs describe several groups declining. Furthermore, the transitions between sentences are often repetitive (e.g., frequent use of 'the figure will...'), which makes the progression feel mechanical rather than fluid. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of cohesive devices and ensure that your overview accurately reflects the trends described in the body paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is somewhat limited and repetitive. There is a heavy reliance on the word 'figure' to describe data, which prevents the report from achieving a sophisticated level of expression. While terms like 'adolescents' and 'prime working age' are used appropriately, other phrases are awkward or imprecise (e.g., 'the smallest children, group with 0-14 ages'). Try to vary your word choice by using synonyms for 'show' (e.g., 'represent', 'constitute', 'account for') and 'figure' (e.g., 'proportion', 'percentage', 'share'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that impact readability. There are issues with article usage (e.g., 'the figure will continue a decrease' instead of 'a decrease'), subject-verb agreement, and sentence structure (e.g., 'Adolescents group with 15-24 ages accounted for...'). There is also a lack of complex sentence structures; most sentences follow a very similar, simple pattern. To improve, practice using relative clauses (e.g., 'which is expected to...') and varied sentence beginnings to create a more natural academic tone.
