The pie charts illustrate the proportion of visitors who come to libraries that cater to the general public for different purposes in two distinct years, 1991 and 2000.

Overall, the figure for individuals visiting publiclibraries due to borrowing or returningbooks, reading newspapers or magazines, and studying underwent a downward trend, whereas a reverse pattern could be observed in those who wanted to obtain information. Notably, there appeared a new sector in 2000, that is, borrowing and returning videos.

In 1991, the percentage of people who went to the library with the purpose of borrowing and returningbooks ranked first, at 65%. In addition, a lower figure, exactly 15%, was witnessed in those who visited the library to read newspapers or magazines. The remaining categories, however, accounted for the lowest number with 10%.

Task Response

The report covers the main points of the task, providing a general overview of the data and highlighting key changes between 1991 and 2000. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reported, such as stating that 15% visited the library to read newspapers or magazines in 1991 (when it was to obtain information) and misreporting the percentage of people studying in 2000. To improve, ensure all data cited is accurate and consider structuring the report to directly compare data points between the two years for greater clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs for each year. Transitions between sentences and paragraphs are mostly smooth, contributing to the flow of the report. However, some connections could be strengthened to further enhance coherence. For example, in the third paragraph, explicitly linking the figures back to the overall trend mentioned in the overview would improve the connection. Also, consider using more varied cohesive devices to avoid repetition.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary relevant to the task. Terms like 'proportion,' 'distinct years,' 'downward trend,' 'reverse pattern,' and 'notably' are used appropriately. However, there's room to enhance the sophistication of the vocabulary further. For instance, instead of 'the percentage of people who went to the library,' consider using more concise and varied phrasing like 'library visitors' or 'patrons.' Also, explore synonyms for frequently used words like 'figure' and 'percentage' to add more nuance to the description.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar with a variety of sentence structures. There are only minor grammatical errors, and they do not impede understanding. To further improve, pay attention to the accuracy of preposition usage and article usage. For example, in the sentence 'the figure for individuals visiting publiclibraries due to borrowing or returningbooks,' consider rephrasing for better clarity and grammatical correctness. Also, ensure consistent subject-verb agreement throughout the report.
