The presented graph represents the average daily hours spent in the UK for five different activities over a period of 28 years from 1985 to 2023.

Overall, what stands out from the graph is that working or studing is the most popular in 1985, unlike eating and drinking which is the lowest activity. However, the use of media increased dramatically over the period in question.

Upon taken a deeper look, we will find that using social media increased from 2.5 hours at the beginning of the period to 5.5 by the end of the period.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and key trends across the activities. The main features are identified, and comparisons are made. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., working/studying starting at 8.5 instead of 8.2, eating/drinking values) and a few minor omissions (e.g., not mentioning the exact values for household chores in all years). The language is generally clear, but there are some grammatical errors and informal expressions (e.g., 'Upon taken a deeper look', 'fall over dramatically', 'Similary'). To improve, ensure data accuracy and use more formal, precise academic language.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and minor lapses in cohesion. For example, the phrase 'Upon taken a deeper look' is grammatically incorrect and interrupts the narrative. Additionally, the use of 'it fall over dramatically' is unclear and could be rephrased for better clarity. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear topic sentence and that transitions between ideas are smooth. Also, avoid informal or unclear expressions.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a reasonable range of vocabulary, such as 'dramatically', 'declined', and 'increased', which are appropriate for describing trends. However, there are some inaccuracies and repetitions. For instance, 'studing' is a spelling error, and 'social media' is used instead of 'media' (the graph refers to 'Using Media (TV, Internet, etc.)'). Also, 'fall over dramatically' is not idiomatic; 'fell dramatically' would be better. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, and ensure terms match the task description. Avoid informal or incorrect word choices.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors that affect accuracy. Examples include 'Upon taken' (should be 'Upon taking'), 'it fall over' (should be 'it fell'), and 'Similary' (should be 'Similarly'). Additionally, some sentences are incomplete or awkwardly phrased, such as 'Regarding the time spent on working or studying declined' (missing a verb). To improve, proofread for subject-verb agreement, verb tense consistency, and correct use of prepositions. Using a wider range of complex structures with accuracy will enhance the score.
