This bar chart illustrates the minimum time expenditure of Canadian youth on physical activities per week.

Overall, boys were more active than girls throughout the week. Almost all boys were involved in a physical activity for at least 30 minutes once a week. However, very few boys and girls were involved in sports or any exercise for the whole week as compared to a single day.

For a single day a high percentage of both boys and girls took part in physical activities. 97% of boys played for 30 minutes while 85% were involved for an hour. The girls were also not far behind, 93% of them took part for at least 30 minutes while, 74% passed their leisure time working on their fitness for an hour.

However, if we consider at least 3 days then there was a sharp difference only 35% girls were part of physical activities for an hour and 53% of the boys which is significantly different from the percentages of boys and girls who played for about half an hour as the percentages were 83% and 73% respectively. When it comes to at least 6 days a week the percentage dropped massively and only 38% of the boys took part in healthy activities and 25% girls.

Task Response

The report covers the main requirements of the task and provides a clear overview of the trends. The comparison between boys and girls is consistent throughout the text. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reporting in the final paragraph (specifically regarding the '6 days' category) which deviate from the provided visual description. To improve, ensure that all numerical data cited is strictly aligned with the visual information provided and aim for more precise grouping of data to enhance the flow of comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized, moving from a general overview to specific details. The use of cohesive devices like 'Overall', 'However', and 'When it comes to' helps guide the reader. However, some transitions between sentences could be smoother. For instance, the paragraph discussing 'at least 3 days' becomes quite long and contains a run-on sentence structure that makes it slightly harder to follow. Breaking down complex comparisons into two separate sentences would improve the flow.

Lexical Resource

You have used a good range of vocabulary to describe the data, such as 'expenditure', 'significantly different', and 'dropped massively'. To reach a higher band, try to avoid repetitive phrasing (e.g., 'took part in') and use more sophisticated synonyms for 'played' or 'involved', such as 'engaged in', 'participated in', or 'adhered to'. Additionally, ensure that the terminology used is precise; for example, 'passed their leisure time working on their fitness' is a bit wordy and could be more concisely expressed as 'engaged in physical activity'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are several grammatical issues that affect the precision of the writing. There are issues with punctuation, particularly comma splices (joining two independent clauses with only a comma), such as in the sentence: 'The girls were also not far behind, 93% of them...'. Furthermore, the sentence starting with 'However, if we consider at least 3 days...' is a run-on sentence that lacks proper punctuation to separate distinct ideas. Working on sentence boundaries and the use of relative clauses would significantly enhance your grammatical accuracy.
