Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by comparing the two time periods and highlighting key trends, such as the rise of IT and the stability of the Fitness and dance course. The overview is clear and provides a good summary of the main changes. To improve, ensure that the introduction does not repeat the prompt too closely (e.g., 'The pie charts below' should be changed to 'The pie charts' as the charts are no longer 'below' the text). Additionally, while speculating about courses being 'replaced' is a logical way to describe the data, try to stick more closely to describing the visible shifts in percentages to maintain a strictly academic tone.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, there is significant repetition between the overview and the body paragraphs. For instance, the information regarding 'Modern languages', 'Fitness and dance', and 'Cookery' is stated almost identically in both sections. To improve, the overview should provide a high-level summary of trends without including specific data, while the body paragraphs should focus on the detailed comparison and data presentation. Additionally, avoid using speculative language like 'probably' in an academic report; stick to describing what is visible in the charts.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task (e.g., 'proportions', 'accounted for', 'increased moderately'), but it lacks the sophistication required for higher bands. There is some repetitive phrasing, such as 'the most selected course' and 'the most picked one'. Try to vary your word choices for popularity (e.g., 'predominant', 'most prevalent', 'most sought-after') and for changes (e.g., 'witnessed an upward trend', 'experienced a decline'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical inaccuracies that affect the flow. For example, 'while in this year is IT' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'while in the current year, it is IT'. There are also issues with article usage (e.g., 'in Fitness and dance course' should be 'in the Fitness and dance course'). Ensure that your sentence structures are complete and that you use appropriate prepositions when describing changes and percentages.
