The chart presents the number of hours of free time activities that were enjoyed by two different age groups (ages 15-19 and 75 and over) in a typical day in 2015, in the US, according to different hobbies. Both age groups state watching television as the activity to which they dedicate the biggest amount of time, with order people spending on average 2.4 hours in frontof the screen every day and younger ones 4.5 hours.

For people aged 15-19, the least favorite hobby seems to be relaxing and thinking, an activity that they do 0.1 hour a day whereas people over 75 appreciate it for just over half an hour daily. The same goes with reading: older people tend to read for a time period that is five times bigger in comparasion to the young ones. The older age group spends the least amount of time in exercise, sports, and recreation.

Lastly, both groups spend almost the same amount of time on socializing and communicating with other people. Overall, with the exception of socializing, the chart demonstrates that younger and older people prefer to divide their time different types of activities in different ways.

Task Response

The report covers the main features of the graph and makes relevant comparisons. There are some inaccuracies in the data reported (e.g., 'older people spending on average 2.4 hours in front of the screen every day and younger ones 4.5 hours' should be reversed). To improve, ensure data accuracy and consider a more structured approach to comparing and contrasting the data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a concluding statement. The information is presented logically, and the main features of the graph are identified. However, the transitions between some sentences and paragraphs could be smoother to enhance the flow of the report. For example, in the second paragraph, the connection between the discussion of 'relaxing and thinking' and 'reading' could be more explicit. Also, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a distinct aspect of the data to improve coherence.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary suitable for describing the data. Terms like 'dedicate,' 'least favorite hobby,' and 'appreciate' are used appropriately. However, there's room to enhance the sophistication of the language by using more varied synonyms and idiomatic expressions. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'amount of time,' consider alternatives like 'duration,' 'period,' or 'portion.' Also, be careful with spelling ('comparasion' should be 'comparison').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good command of grammar with a variety of sentence structures. Most sentences are grammatically correct and easy to understand. However, there are a few errors that need attention. For example, 'with order people spending on average 2.4 hours' should be 'with older people spending on average 4.1 hours' (correct the data and grammar). Also, 'in comparasion' should be 'in comparison.' Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct use of articles, and accurate data reporting to improve grammatical accuracy.
