Task Response

The report covers the main trends and provides a clear overview of the data. It effectively compares the two categories and uses appropriate transitional phrases. To improve, ensure that the overview provides a more meaningful summary of the overall relationship between the two trends (e.g., noting the general decline in both) rather than just restating the timeframe. Additionally, some data points mentioned in the report (such as closures dropping to 800 in 2015) appear to conflict with the visual description provided, though the report remains logically structured.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs divided by the two categories (closures and openings), and a concluding overview. The use of cohesive devices such as 'At the beginning of the period', 'In contrast', and 'However' helps the reader follow the progression of time and the comparison between the two trends. To reach a higher band, try to integrate the two trends more closely within the body paragraphs to highlight the relationship between them (e.g., where they intersect) rather than treating them as two entirely separate entities.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and accurate, with effective use of verbs to describe trends such as 'decreased', 'dropped', 'risen', 'fell significantly', and 'diminished'. The phrasing is natural and avoids repetitive structures. To improve, you could incorporate more sophisticated academic collocations or varied synonyms for 'number' and 'changes' to demonstrate a wider range of lexical control. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a high level of grammatical accuracy. There is a good use of various tense structures, including the past simple and the past perfect (e.g., 'it had gradually dropped'), which is essential for describing sequences of events in the past. Punctuation is used correctly throughout, and the sentence structures are varied and error-free.
