In 2000, Spanish accounted for the highest figure at 30%, rising to 35% by 2010, making it the first largest category.The percentage of students who spoke another language rose from 15% to 20% by 2010, making it the second largest language. While two other language speakers grew from 10% to 15%.

Task Response

The report suffers from a significant mismatch between the task description and the actual data provided. While the task instructions mention water usage in six areas, the visual description and the report both focus on language proficiency at a British university. Because the report does not address the actual task (water usage), it fails to meet the requirements. However, looking strictly at how the report handles the provided visual description, it attempts to summarize the data but contains several mathematical inaccuracies and contradictions (e.g., stating Spanish was the most widely spoken in both years, whereas the data shows 'no other language' was higher in 2000, and claiming German remained unchanged when the data suggests it did). To improve, ensure the report directly addresses the prompt and verify that all data trends and figures accurately reflect the provided charts.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, there are issues with sentence connectivity. Some sentences are fragments (e.g., 'While two other language speakers grew from 10% to 15%'), which disrupts the flow. To improve, ensure that subordinate clauses are attached to main clauses rather than standing alone, and use a wider variety of cohesive devices to link ideas between sentences more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task (e.g., 'accounted for', 'proportion', 'remained stable'), but there is some repetition and slight inaccuracy in phrasing. For instance, 'the proportion of non-English language spoken' is awkward; 'the proportion of students speaking languages other than English' would be more natural. Aim to use more precise collocations and vary your word choices to avoid repeating the same structures. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but grammatical errors are present. The most notable issue is the use of sentence fragments starting with 'While', which prevents them from being complete sentences. Additionally, there are minor errors in noun-adjective agreement and phrasing. Focus on mastering complex sentence structures to ensure that dependent clauses are correctly integrated into main clauses.
