This chart compares the proportion of British people interested in six different sports in 1995, 2000 and 2005.

Overall, foot remained the most popular sport, while golf had the lowest figures in three years. The figure for foot increased steadily, whereas other categories experienced more fluctuations.

It is clear that foot had the highest proportion in all three years with the figure being about 41% in 1995 brefore rising to 43% in 2000 and almost 45% in 2005. Although swim and rugby followed contrasting trends, they both showed an overall increase. In 1995, rugby accounted for 24%, slightly higher than swim at 23%. While the figure for rugby decreased then surged, that of swim increased before declining. However, both ended up at about 26% in 2005.

Regarding the categories that recorded an overall decrease, snooker and tennis accounted for relatively high figures in 1995 at around 30%, then both declined significantly, reaching 22% and 23% in 2005, respectively. Finally, golf’s figure remained the lowest. It stood at only about 18% in 1995 and then declined before slightly recovering to 16% in 2005.

Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by summarizing the main features and making comparisons across the three years. The overall trend is clearly presented, and the data is organized logically. However, there are some inaccuracies in the specific figures (e.g., rugby and swim percentages, and the final values for snooker and tennis), and a few minor omissions (e.g., not mentioning the exact figures for all sports in each year). To improve, ensure that all data points are accurately reported and consider including a more precise comparison of the changes over time. Overall, the response is well-structured and covers the requirements, but the data errors prevent it from achieving a higher score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The introduction clearly states the topic, and the overview effectively highlights the main trends. The body paragraphs are logically divided into sports that increased and those that decreased, which aids coherence. However, the transition between the two body paragraphs could be smoother, and the use of cohesive devices is sometimes repetitive (e.g., 'while', 'whereas'). To improve, vary linking words and ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea that is consistently developed.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'proportion', 'accounted for', 'surged', 'declined', and 'slightly recovering'. There is some flexibility in expression, but there are also instances of less precise or slightly awkward phrasing, such as 'the figure for foot' (should be 'football') and 'brefore' (typo). To achieve a higher score, aim for more precise and varied vocabulary, and ensure correct spelling and word choice throughout.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. However, there are a few errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity, such as 'brefore' (typo), 'the figure for foot' (incorrect noun), and 'in three years' (should be 'in all three years'). Additionally, some sentences are slightly convoluted, e.g., 'While the figure for rugby decreased then surged, that of swim increased before declining.' To improve, proofread for typos, use more precise nouns, and simplify complex sentences to enhance clarity and accuracy.
