Task Response

The report covers the main features of the pie charts and makes relevant comparisons. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, body paragraphs detailing each time period, and an overall statement. However, there are some minor inaccuracies and omissions. For example, the report mentions local history at 15% in 1985, but the visual description says 10%. Also, the report could benefit from more precise language and a wider range of vocabulary. To improve, ensure all data is accurately represented and proofread carefully for grammatical errors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear overall structure, using cohesive devices effectively to guide the reader through the comparison of the two pie charts. The information is presented in a logical sequence, starting with an overview, then detailing the 1985 data, and finally moving to the present-day data. To improve coherence, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main idea and that transitions between sentences and paragraphs are seamless. For instance, when transitioning from the 1985 data to the present-day data, a clearer transitional phrase could enhance the flow.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary suitable for describing trends and proportions. Terms like 'narrowly above,' 'marginally more popular,' and 'respectively' are used appropriately to convey subtle differences in the data. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider incorporating a wider variety of synonyms and more precise language to describe the changes and comparisons. For example, instead of 'increased by a margin of 6 percentage points,' you could use 'increased by six percentage points' or 'saw a six percentage point increase.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar with a variety of sentence structures. There are a few instances where grammatical accuracy could be improved. For example, in the second paragraph, 'It was modern languages ranked first at 24%' could be rephrased for better clarity and grammatical correctness, such as 'Modern languages ranked first at 24%.' Similarly, 'a course that was marginaly close to cookery ,at 14%' could be improved to 'a course that was marginally close to cookery, at 14%'. Reviewing and correcting these minor errors will enhance the overall grammatical accuracy of the report.
