The charts below illustrate the result of a poll of adult education. The graph shows why adults are interested in studying, while the pie chart demonstrates how individuals consider the adult education costs should be distributed.

Overall, according to the graph, interest in a subject and gaining qualifications are the most popular and common reasons why adults make decisions to study. Both of the options illustrate approximately identical results (about 40% and 38% respectively). The other categories were slightly lower. Helpful the current job is the third most selectable variant, at only 22%. In addition, improving prospects of promotion, as well as enjoying learning are the average selections, which are under double than the interest in the subject. The lowest result that is shown according to this survey is meeting people with only 9% of usage.

Task Response

The report appropriately addresses the task by describing both the bar chart and the pie chart, and it includes an overview of the main trends. The data is generally accurate, with minor lapses such as 'Helpful the current job' and 'under double than' which slightly affect clarity. To improve, ensure precise language and correct grammatical structures, and consider adding a clearer comparison between the two charts. Overall, the response covers the requirements well.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, an overview, and separate paragraphs for the bar chart and pie chart. However, the flow is occasionally disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'Both of the options illustrate approximately identical results' and 'under double than the interest in the subject'). The paragraphing is adequate, but the second paragraph could be more clearly structured to separate the main trends from the less significant details. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and ensure each paragraph has a single clear focus.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'illustrate', 'demonstrates', 'distributed', 'selectable', and 'usage'. However, there are some imprecise and unnatural word choices (e.g., 'selectable variant', 'under double than', 'usage' instead of 'responses' or 'votes'). The phrasing 'Helpful the current job' is grammatically incorrect and affects lexical precision. To improve, use more natural collocations and ensure word forms are correct (e.g., 'helpful for the current job').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. However, there are several grammatical errors and awkward constructions that affect clarity, such as 'Helpful the current job' (missing preposition), 'under double than' (incorrect comparative structure), and 'must be shared between employers and taxpayers' (should be 'among' or 'between' is acceptable but the sentence is slightly awkward). Punctuation is generally correct, but the errors in sentence structure and word order reduce the overall accuracy. To improve, focus on correct comparative forms and ensure all phrases are grammatically complete.
