The bar chart illustrates data about the proportion of three types of visitors to a museum from 1997 to 2012.

There are adults, individuals aged under 15, and special exhibition visitors.

Overall, it is clear that adult visitors dominated the most proportion throughout the period. In addition, tourists who aged under 15 consistently decreased over the period. However, a steady increase can be seen with people who are special exhibition visitors.

First of all, in 1997, the number of adults was 300,100, after which rose slowly, it was 302,200. However, it reached a peak in 2007 and then declined gradually to 380,000. In comparison, the number of people aged under 15 consistently dropped throughout the period. Starting at 120,000 in 1997, this figure fell to 110,000 in 2002 and kept dwindling to reach a low of 82,300 in 2012.

The special exhibition visitors accounted for the smallest proportion in around 15 years. However, they were consistently increased in each year. Moreover, at the beginning of the period the number of special exhibition individuals accounted for 28,000 of museum visitors. After 5 years, it rose to 29,300, after which it also grew rapidly to 37,700. Finally, it reached a peak in 2012 and the most productivity year was 2007 and the least one was 2002.

Task Response

The report covers the requirements of the task by identifying the main trends and providing specific data points for all three categories. The overview is clear and effectively summarizes the general direction of the data. To improve, ensure that the distinction between 'proportion' (percentages) and 'numbers' (absolute values) is maintained, as the graph displays counts rather than percentages. Additionally, some phrasing in the final paragraph is slightly confusing (e.g., 'the most productivity year'), so focusing on clarity and precise vocabulary regarding trends would enhance the quality of the report.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes interrupted by awkward phrasing and punctuation errors. For example, the use of 'after which rose slowly, it was 302,200' is grammatically fractured, which disrupts the flow. To improve, focus on using cohesive devices (like 'subsequently', 'following this', or 'conversely') more naturally and ensure that sentences are structurally complete to maintain a smooth reading experience.

Lexical Resource

You have used a variety of terms to describe trends, such as 'dominated', 'consistently decreased', 'dwindling', and 'reached a peak'. However, there are some instances of imprecise word choice. For example, calling a year 'the most productivity year' is incorrect; 'the year with the highest growth' or 'the peak year' would be more appropriate. Additionally, be careful with the word 'proportion' - the data provided refers to absolute numbers (counts), not percentages or proportions. Using 'number' or 'figure' instead would be more accurate. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There is an attempt to use a range of structures, including complex sentences, but errors are frequent enough to cause some difficulty for the reader. Common issues include subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'tourists who aged under 15' should be 'tourists aged under 15') and awkward sentence constructions (e.g., 'they were consistently increased'). Try to practice using relative clauses and participle phrases (e.g., 'rising to...') to combine ideas more effectively and reduce the number of comma splices.
