The bar chart compares proportion of changes between both genders who had a driving licenses from 1976 to 2006, while second data compares the shares of young drivers around 17 to 30 from 1996 to 2006.

Overall, it can be seen that first chart had experienced a gradual growth from over the period of 30 years however the second chart showed a reversed trend from over the period of 10 years. Especially, that males outperformed females in terms of driving licenses for motorbikes at both charts.

Firstly, the male and female showed the highest driving license share, 80% and 60%, respectively in 2006. However, this rate was the lowest in 1976 with 70% and 30%. After a few years, men’s share remained stable at 70%, while women’s share rose slightly to 3%. In final years, the figures for females had become closer 25% than 1976.

Secondly, young drivers who between 17-30 experienced a considerable decrease in their share of license for motorbike. Males’ figure reached a peak to 50 % in 1996 but this figure has dropped minimally around 45%. There, the figures for females went down from 30% to 20%.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task and identifies the general trends, such as the increase in total licenses and the decrease in young drivers. However, there are significant issues with data accuracy and clarity. For instance, the report mentions 'motorbikes,' which is not specified in the task or visual description, and provides an incorrect figure for women in 1980 (stating 3% instead of 35%). Additionally, the age range for young drivers is inconsistently reported as 17-30 instead of 17-20. To improve, ensure all data points are transcribed accurately from the charts and avoid introducing external information (like vehicle types) that is not present in the prompt. Focus on precise comparisons and maintaining consistency in the details provided.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and two body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes hindered by awkward phrasing and imprecise linking words. For instance, the use of 'There' at the start of the final sentence is incorrect in this context. To improve, focus on using cohesive devices (like 'In contrast', 'Furthermore', or 'Regarding...') more naturally to guide the reader through your comparisons.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use varied vocabulary (e.g., 'outperformed', 'gradual growth', 'considerable decrease'), but there are significant issues with word choice and precision. For example, the report mentions 'driving licenses for motorbikes', which is an assumption not stated in the task, and 'proportion of changes' is an unnatural way to describe the data. Additionally, there are errors in noun usage (e.g., 'a driving licenses'). Aim to use more precise academic collocations and ensure that your descriptions accurately reflect the categories provided in the charts. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede clarity. Issues include subject-verb agreement, incorrect article usage (e.g., 'the male and female showed'), and problematic tense usage (e.g., 'had experienced', 'has dropped'). There are also issues with sentence structure, such as 'young drivers who between 17-30'. To improve, practice using complex sentence structures more accurately and pay close attention to verb tenses when describing trends over time.
