The pie charts compare the percentage of different subjects which students at secondary school in the UK taking in 1995 and this academic year.

Overall, it is notable that the biggest change is the disappearance of RS and Drama classes and the appearance of the IT subject, while Geography and History classes are still among the top three most popular subjects. While in 1995 approximately the same percentage of students took Art and Business classes, during this yeas there has been a significant drop of those who prefer Art whereas proportion of people taking Business has remained stable.

It can be seen that while 9% and 12% of students were taking RS and Drama subjects respectively in 1995, this year nobody is taking these subjects and 28% of students prefer to study IT. In 1995, Geography and History had 21% and 27% of students respectively, and this year History has decreased by 2%, while Geography has increased by 2%.

It is clear that the percentage of students choosing Art as a subject has almost halved (from 15% to 8%), while the proportion of students taking Business has remained stable at 16%.

Task Response

The report fails to address the data provided in the visual description. The student has written a response based on entirely different subjects (RS, Drama, IT, Business) that do not appear in the provided data. While the writing structure and language use are functional, the task response is fundamentally flawed because the content does not reflect the information presented in the charts. To improve, ensure that you only report on the specific categories and data points provided in the prompt.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, there is a significant issue with coherence regarding the data provided: the report mentions subjects (RS, Drama, IT, Business) that are not present in the visual description provided. While the task response is assessed separately, this discrepancy affects the logical flow of the information. To improve, ensure that the overview and body paragraphs focus strictly on the categories presented in the charts to maintain a cohesive narrative.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task (e.g., 'notable', 'significant drop', 'remained stable', 'halved'). However, there are some inaccuracies in word choice and phrasing, such as 'the percentage of different subjects which students... taking' and 'during this yeas'. To reach a higher band, aim for more precise collocations and ensure that the subjects mentioned align perfectly with the data to avoid confusion.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts a variety of complex structures, such as comparative clauses and subordinate clauses. However, there are several grammatical errors that impede the smoothness of reading, including subject-verb agreement issues and incorrect preposition usage. For example, 'this yeas' should be 'this year' and 'the percentage of different subjects which students... taking' is missing a verb. Focus on mastering sentence structures for describing trends and ensuring subject-verb agreement to improve accuracy.
