The two pie charts illustrate the proportions of different subjects taken by secondary schoolers in the UK in 1996 and the current year.

Overall, four disciplines, such as History, Geography, Business and Art, were taken in either 1996 or this year, showing slight difference in their proportions between the two dates. In the present year, however, IT course was introduced, ousting the RS and Drama classes that were present in 1996, and notably becoming the most preferable discipline among the students.

In 1996, the most attended course was History, accounting for 26% of students. Next came Geography class with 21% of attendance. Business and Art disciplines were relatively close in data, 16% and 15% of the enrolled students, respectively. The students took up Drama and RS the least, 12% and 9% respectively.

In comparison to 1996, this year’s most demanded subject has become IT, showing 27% of addendance. The choice of History and Georgaphy classes has undergone marginal changes, with History declining from 26% in 1996 to 25% and Geography rising from 12% to 23%. Equal proportion of students taking Business is shown in both pie charts, that of 16%. After 1996, the Art class enrollment has dropped from 15% to 8%, making this course the minor category in the present year. Thus, RS and Drama have been displaceed from the statistics completely this year.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task by describing the two pie charts and making some comparisons. However, there are several inaccuracies and irrelevant details. The years mentioned in the report (1996 and 'this year') do not match the task (1995 and 'this year'), and the subjects listed (History, Business, IT, RS, Drama) are not present in the visual description, which only includes Geography, English, Maths, Science, Art, and History. The data percentages are also largely incorrect. The report would benefit from focusing strictly on the information provided in the visual description, accurately reporting the main features, and making clear comparisons between the two time periods.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall structure, including an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs for each time period. However, the cohesion could be improved. For example, the transition between the overview and the detailed description is somewhat abrupt, and some comparisons within paragraphs could be more smoothly integrated. The paragraphing is logical, but the final sentence of the last paragraph feels slightly disconnected. To enhance coherence, consider using more linking phrases to guide the reader through the comparisons and ensure each paragraph has a clear central focus.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate and shows some range, with terms like 'proportions', 'ousting', 'preferable discipline', and 'marginal changes'. However, there are a few inaccuracies and less natural choices, such as 'secondary schoolers' (more commonly 'secondary school students'), 'addendance' (misspelling of 'attendance'), and 'minor category' (could be 'least popular subject'). The phrasing 'the most attended course' and 'the students took up' is acceptable but could be more precise. To improve, aim for more sophisticated and natural collocations, and ensure all subject names are spelled correctly (e.g., 'Geography' not 'Georgaphy').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and comparisons. However, there are several errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For instance, 'showing slight difference' should be 'showing slight differences', 'the most preferable discipline among the students' is slightly unnatural, and 'displaceed' is a spelling error. Additionally, the sentence 'Equal proportion of students taking Business is shown in both pie charts, that of 16%' is grammatically awkward. Punctuation is generally correct, but the overall accuracy needs improvement. To reach a higher band, focus on proofreading for spelling and subject-verb agreement, and practice using a wider variety of sentence structures with greater precision.
