The bar chart illustrates the amount of university graduates in Canada belonging to two different groups: male and female between 1981 and 2022.

Overall, women had more university degrees than men over the all period. The highest number was recorded between 2011 and 2020, while the lowest between 1991 and 20000. All groups designed in such a way that, at any given time, the proportion of men and women is balanced.

In 1981-1990 60000 of women had their university graduation, compared with 3000 of men. The lowest figure was recorded between men in 1991-2000 (25000). As for women, 55000 of female respondents had degrees.

Turning to the remaining categories, the number of university graduates experienced a significant increase over the following years. In 2001-2010 women stood at 100000, while men was considerably lower, at 80000. Between 2011 and 2020 was recorded the highest amount of university graduates.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends and making comparisons between male and female graduates over the period. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data (e.g., '3000' instead of 20,000 for men in 1981-1990, '1991 and 20000' instead of 2000, and inconsistent figures for other periods). Additionally, some statements are vague or unclear (e.g., 'All groups designed in such a way...'), and the report omits the overall upward trend for both genders. To improve, ensure data is reported accurately, avoid ambiguous phrasing, and clearly highlight the general increase over time.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear references (e.g., 'All groups designed in such a way...'). The paragraphing is adequate but could be improved by more logical grouping of information and smoother transitions between ideas. Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a clear main idea and that comparisons are made more explicitly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate for the task, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'illustrates', 'recorded', 'considerably lower'). However, there are instances of imprecise word choice (e.g., 'amount' instead of 'number', 'designed' instead of 'trended') and repetition (e.g., 'graduates' used frequently). To improve, use a wider range of synonyms and more precise academic vocabulary, and avoid informal or inaccurate terms.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, subject-verb agreement issues ('men was'), incorrect tense usage, and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'between 1991 and 20000' - likely a typo). Punctuation is mostly correct, but some sentences are run-ons or lack clarity. To improve, focus on accurate subject-verb agreement, use a wider range of complex structures, and proofread to eliminate typos and minor errors.
