The chart illustrates the outcome of a British survey on the types of accommodation individuals liked, which was taken in the year 2005.

It is crystal clear that flats were the most popular type of housing in London, whereas detached houses accounted for the lowest percentage of housing in the UK.

In 2005, flats were recorded as having the highest number of housing, at approximately 58%, which subsequently decreased to 30% and 20% in Oxford and Cambridge respectively, reflecting a moderate reduction of 28 and 38 percentage points respectively. In addition, terraced houses showed a similar trend among the three cities, all of which showed figures within the 16% to 19% range proportionately.

The proportion of detached houses in London was about 10%, being lower than the Oxford rate by around 25%, then it rose significantly to almost 35% in Cambridge city, making a substantial growth of one in ten. In contrast, semi-detached houses in Oxford and Cambridge had almost similar proportions at nearly

Task Response

The report addresses the task and covers the main housing types, but it contains several inaccuracies and omissions. For example, the percentages for flats in London and Oxford are incorrect, and the data for semi-detached houses is incomplete. The report also lacks a clear overview that summarizes the main trends or comparisons across all cities. To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported and provide a clear overall summary of the key features, such as the most and least popular housing types in each city.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and body paragraphs, but the progression of ideas is somewhat uneven. The first body paragraph focuses on flats and terraced houses, while the second covers detached and semi-detached houses, which is logical. However, the final sentence is incomplete, which disrupts the flow. Additionally, the use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes imprecise (e.g., 'which subsequently decreased' could be clearer). To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear topic sentence and that all sentences are complete. Use a wider range of linking words and referencing to enhance cohesion.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 'illustrates', 'accounted for', 'moderate reduction', 'substantial growth'), but there are instances of imprecise or awkward phrasing (e.g., 'the highest number of housing' should be 'the highest percentage of housing', 'reflecting a moderate reduction of 28 and 38 percentage points respectively' is unclear). The range of vocabulary is adequate but not wide, and there is some repetition (e.g., 'housing' used multiple times). To improve, use more varied and precise terms (e.g., 'proportion', 'figure', 'rate') and avoid vague expressions like 'crystal clear' in formal academic writing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including comparative forms and complex sentences. However, there are several errors and issues that affect clarity: the sentence 'flats were recorded as having the highest number of housing' is awkward and grammatically incorrect ('number of housing' should be 'percentage of housing'); 'reflecting a moderate reduction of 28 and 38 percentage points respectively' is confusing; and the final sentence is incomplete ('at nearly 28%' without a concluding phrase). Punctuation is generally correct, but the incomplete sentence is a significant error. To improve, proofread carefully to ensure all sentences are complete and grammatically sound, and use a wider variety of sentence structures with accuracy.
