The bar chart compares the percentage of people who visited at least one museum in a wide range of ages in 2006, 2011 and 2016.

Overall, over the period shown, there is no reduction in the proportion of the population in most age groups, with the exception of people in 55-64, of which the percentage saw a steady drop.

Among the three age groups(25-34, 35-44, 45-54), the percentages in 2011 are equivalent (30%), so are that of the latter two in 2006, with the figure being 20% lower than the former one (approximately 26%). In addition, the proportion of the last one remained stable in 2016 (30%), being exceeded by that of the former two.

The figure for people in 55-64 fell substantially throughout of the period, from 40% to around 30%, still more predominant than that for people whose age is less than 25 or more than 65. The percentage of those two age groups remained relatively stable, respectively revolving around 25% and 20%, making them the lowest two parts by the end of the period shown.

Task Response

The report addresses the task and includes an overview, but there are some inaccuracies and omissions. The overall trend is described, but the statement about the 55-64 age group is incorrect (it actually increased). Also, the data for the 15-24 age group is not clearly presented, and some comparisons are vague. To improve, ensure all age groups are covered, accurately describe trends, and make more precise comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and body paragraphs, but the organization of information could be improved. The second paragraph groups age groups 25-34, 35-44, and 45-54, but the comparisons are not always clear, and the reader may need to work to follow the logic. The third paragraph discusses 55-64 and the youngest and oldest groups, but the connection between these groups is not explicitly stated. Using clearer topic sentences and ensuring each paragraph has a distinct focus would enhance coherence. Additionally, the use of cohesive devices is somewhat mechanical (e.g., 'In addition', 'so are'), and some references are ambiguous (e.g., 'the former one', 'the latter two'). Improving the flow between sentences and making references clearer would make the report easier to follow.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'compares', 'proportion', 'remained stable', 'predominant', and 'revolving around'. However, there are some inaccuracies and awkward phrasings that affect precision. For example, 'there is no reduction in the proportion of the population in most age groups' is slightly unclear, and 'of which the percentage saw a steady drop' is awkward. Also, 'so are that of the latter two' is grammatically incorrect and unclear. The phrase 'throughout of the period' is non-standard. To improve, use more precise and natural collocations (e.g., 'experienced a decline', 'remained relatively constant') and ensure that comparisons are expressed clearly. Avoid informal or vague expressions like 'revolving around' in favor of more formal alternatives. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. However, there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'there is no reduction' should be 'there was no reduction' to maintain tense consistency. 'so are that of the latter two' is incorrect; it should be 'as did the latter two' or 'and so did the latter two'. 'throughout of the period' should be 'throughout the period'. Also, 'whose age is less than 25' is wordy and could be simplified to 'those aged under 25'. The use of parentheses and commas is sometimes inconsistent (e.g., 'age groups(25-34' should have a space). To improve, proofread for subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and correct use of prepositions. Varying sentence structures more and ensuring accuracy in complex sentences will enhance the grammatical range.
