Image for topic: The first graph below shows the weight (in tonnes) of fruit produced by a farm during each month in 2013, and also the amount (in tonnes) of fertiliser used. The second graph shows the volume of rainfall in each month (in millimetres). Write a report summarising the information. Select and describe the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Our system will evaluate the answer based on this AI-generated description.

The image contains two graphs; the top graph shows two lines representing the "Weight of fruit produced (tonnes) in 2013" and "Amount of fertiliser used (tonnes) in 2013" over 12 months; fruit weight starts at 4 tonnes in Jan, peaks at 4.5 in Apr, declines to 0.5 in Dec; fertiliser use starts at 0.5 tonnes in Jan, peaks at 1 in May, declines to 0.5 in Dec. The bottom graph is a bar chart representing "Rainfall in millimetres (mm) in 2013” over 12 months; rainfall ranges from 4 mm in Nov to 16 mm in Jun, with variations in between (14 mm in Feb, 12 mm in Mar and Apr, 10 mm in Jul, 6 mm in Dec).

Given the complexity of the image, the above description may not be entirely accurate.

The charts illustrated the fruit produced in a field per month in 2013, the fertilizer used and the monthly rainfall in that year.

There was a significant increase in the number of rainfall at 12 mm in January, subsequently achieving a peak at 16 mm in February before experiencing a gradual decline to 4 mm in July. Additionally, the trend maintained the same level to September. Then, there was a significant increase in fertilizer between January and April from 0,5 ton to 0,9 ton. After that in May the fertilizer experienced a moderate fall where the fertilizer only reached 0,1 ton. June and September showed a period of volatility in fertilizer from 0,1 ton to 0,4 ton. Initially, the weight of fruit increased to the peak at 4,2 tons in September.

Subsequently, the amount of rainfall had significantly risen between September and December, from 11 mm to 14 mm. Then in September and December this showed an oscillation in fertilizer from 0,1 ton to 0,4 ton. Lastly, the amount of fruit reduced dramatically to the lowest position all time between September and December, from 4,2 tons to 0,2 tons.

Overall, the bigger the volume of rainfall, the smaller fertilizer was needed to empower the plants. Meanwhile, the weight of the fruit produced grew gradually as the volume of rainfall reduced.

Task Response

The report attempts to address all parts of the task, but there are significant issues with data accuracy and logical consistency. There are several instances where the reported figures contradict the visual description (e.g., the rainfall peak and the fruit weight peak), which makes the description of trends confusing. Additionally, some sentences repeat information or contain contradictory statements, such as describing the same period with different trends for the same variable. To improve, focus on ensuring that the data points mentioned align strictly with the provided information and ensure that each trend is described clearly without repetitive or conflicting observations. A more coherent structure that groups related trends together would also enhance clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the report is somewhat confusing, making it difficult for the reader to follow the logical progression of information. The report jumps between rainfall, fertilizer, and fruit weight without a clear structure, and some sentences repeat information (e.g., the oscillation in fertilizer is mentioned twice). To improve, try to group information logically: for example, use one paragraph to describe the trends in the first graph (fruit and fertilizer) and another paragraph for the second graph (rainfall), or group them by seasonal trends. Use more effective cohesive devices to link ideas rather than just starting sentences with 'Then' or 'Additionally'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat repetitive and occasionally inaccurate. For instance, 'the number of rainfall' should be 'the amount of rainfall,' and 'the weight of fruit increased to the peak' is slightly awkward. There is an attempt to use varied vocabulary like 'volatility' and 'oscillation,' but these are not always applied correctly in context. Aim to use a wider range of precise academic verbs and nouns to describe trends (e.g., 'fluctuated,' 'plummeted,' 'remained stable') and ensure that the collocations (words that naturally go together) are correct.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors that impact the clarity of the report. Issues include incorrect preposition usage, errors in subject-verb agreement, and awkward sentence structures. For example, 'the bigger the volume of rainfall, the smaller fertilizer was needed' is grammatically incomplete. Additionally, the use of commas in decimals (0,5) is standard in some regions but in English academic writing, a period is used (0.5). Work on mastering complex sentence structures and ensure that your tense usage is consistent throughout the report.
