The two bar charts examine the percentage of 14-16-year-old students learning a modern foreign language in an English-speaking country and three most popular languages from 1984 to 2007.

Overall, it can be seen that girls learn foreign languages more than boys, however the proportion of both decreased in the final year. Notably, French was number one language to study, although its percentage showed a sharp decline in the end of the period.

More specifically, the proportion of teenage girls studying foreign languages started at approximately 65% in 1984, but in 2007 this number significantly dropped to just over 50%. The percentage of young male students showed similar downward trend. Starting at just under 50% in 1984, the percentage then went down to 40% in 2007.

Looking at the top three languages studied by teenagers, French came top of the list, with 65% in 1984. However this number sharply decreased in 2007, remaining 50%. The proportion of Spanish learners started at 5% in 1984. In 2007, its number rose considerably to 20%, surpassing Germany, which proportion remained stable at 15% for the entire period.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by identifying the main trends and making relevant comparisons between the two years. The overview is clear and summarizes the key shifts in language popularity and gender participation. However, there are some inconsistencies between the data reported in the text and the provided visual description (for example, the percentages for girls and French in 1984). While the scoring is lenient regarding data accuracy due to the nature of the visual description, the report would benefit from more precise grouping of data to enhance the logical flow. Additionally, ensure that comparisons between categories (such as the rise of Spanish versus the decline of German) are articulated with consistent terminology.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and two distinct body paragraphs. The progression of ideas is easy to follow. To improve, ensure that cohesive devices and transitions between sentences are more varied. For instance, while 'More specifically' and 'Looking at...' are used to introduce new sections, the internal cohesion within paragraphs could be strengthened by using more sophisticated linking words to connect comparative observations.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task, with successful attempts at using varied terms such as 'proportion', 'downward trend', and 'surpassing'. However, there are some inaccuracies in word choice and phrasing (e.g., 'surpassing Germany' instead of 'surpassing German' or 'the proportion of German learners'). To reach a higher band, aim for more precise academic collocations and ensure that nouns and adjectives are used correctly in a comparative context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are several grammatical errors that affect the flow, particularly regarding article usage, prepositional phrases (e.g., 'in the end of the period' instead of 'at the end'), and subject-verb agreement or noun forms (e.g., 'which proportion' instead of 'whose proportion'). Increasing the frequency of error-free sentences and paying closer attention to possessive relative pronouns and definite articles will improve the score.
