The bar charts gives information about the four main devices used to browse on internet by UK adults and how many weekly hours users spent online between 2015 and 2020.

Overall, smartphone is the device with the biggest access in both years and also the one adults spent more weekly hours using.

The first bar chart gives the percentage of users using four differents devices. It is clear that, smartphone experienced the highest increase, it went from approximately 40% users in 2015 to more than 60% in 2020. However, the other three devices registered a decline. The second most popular device in both years was laptop in 2015, the percentage of adults owning was 30% and it went down to 15%. Followed by desktop computer, that was 20% in the first year and after 5 years less than 10%. In addition, tablet also had a decrease but remained between 10 and 20% of users.

As shown in the second chart, the amount of hours adults spent online, increased after 5 years. In 2015, per week an adult spent almost 15 hours using smartphone, while in 2020 surged reaching 25 hours weekly. Laptop, desktop computer and tablet also had a growth but without significant changes in the number spent online.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and key features of both charts, with relevant comparisons between 2015 and 2020. The overall trend is clearly identified, and the data is generally accurate. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies (e.g., smartphone percentage in 2015 is stated as 'approximately 40%' instead of 35%) and some omissions (e.g., specific values for desktop and tablet in 2020 are not fully detailed). The structure is logical, and the language is mostly clear, though there are minor grammatical errors (e.g., 'gives information' should be 'give information', 'differents' should be 'different'). To improve, ensure precise data reporting and refine grammatical accuracy.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and separate paragraphs for each chart. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and minor grammatical errors. The overview is present but could be more comprehensive. The use of cohesive devices is basic, and some sentences are long and run-on, affecting readability. To improve, use a wider range of linking words and ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic with smooth transitions between sentences.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'primary devices' to 'main devices', 'access the internet' to 'browse on internet'). However, there are some inaccuracies and limited range. For example, 'the device with the biggest access' is not idiomatic; 'the most used device' would be better. Also, 'the number spent online' is unclear. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'witnessed a significant surge', 'experienced a decline', and 'remained relatively stable'. Avoid repetition and ensure word choice is natural and accurate. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity and accuracy. There are subject-verb agreement issues (e.g., 'The bar charts gives'), incorrect plural forms (e.g., 'differents devices'), and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'the percentage of adults owning was 30%'). Some sentences are run-ons or lack proper punctuation. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, use a variety of complex structures (e.g., relative clauses, conditionals), and proofread for punctuation and article usage. A wider range of grammatical structures with greater control is needed to achieve a higher band.
