The line graph displays the growth in population of bears, dolphins and whales from 2009 to 2014 in Australia.

Overall, the growth was significant among bear population, starting as the lowest of all species but ending as the highest, while opposite was true for dolphins. Whereas, whale population fluctuated throughout the period.

In 2009, the figure for bears was the lowest, showing approximately 5, before rising dramatically to above 180, reaching a peak, in 2014. In terms of dolphins, it experienced downward trend from its peak, at around 150, to 0, its lowest point, in the end of the period.

Focusing on whales, there was a fluctuation between 100 and around 50, starting at 80. before falling to about 50 in 2010. Following this it experienced a noticeable growth to 100 in 2011, after which it declined steadily to below its initial value in 2012. By the end of the period, the figure ended up at about 70.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends for the three species. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., bears starting at 'approximately 5' instead of 40, dolphins peaking at 'around 150' instead of 170, and whales starting at '80' instead of 100). These errors detract from the overall accuracy. The structure is logical, with an overview and specific details, but the language could be more precise. To improve, ensure data values are correctly reported and avoid vague terms like 'around' or 'approximately' when exact figures are available. Also, proofread for grammatical issues (e.g., 'it experienced downward trend').

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. The message is generally easy to follow. However, there are some minor lapses in cohesion, such as the use of 'Whereas' at the start of a sentence in the overview, which could be better integrated. The paragraphing is adequate but could be more skillfully managed to separate the discussion of each species more clearly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, with some good attempts at variation (e.g., 'dramatically', 'noticeable growth', 'declined steadily'). However, there are some inaccuracies and less natural choices (e.g., 'the growth was significant among bear population', 'opposite was true for dolphins'). The range could be wider, and the phrasing could be more sophisticated and precise. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. There are some grammatical errors and awkward phrasings (e.g., 'it experienced downward trend', 'in the end of the period', 'before falling to about 50 in 2010' - missing capital letter after period). Punctuation is mostly correct, but there are a few issues that affect clarity. Overall, the grammar is generally controlled but not consistently accurate.
