The line chart illustrates the percentages of world-wide music being sold in three different ways between 2011 and 2018.

Looking from a general perspective,it is readily apparent that all approaches lost their popularity over the period except for streaming method,where music sales experienced significant rise ,becoming the most effective technique.

In 2011,downloads and CD purchaces started from 35 and 55,respectively,before beginning to converge in the same year.Between 2013 and 2014 ,the proportion of music sold by downloads was the same as by CDs(around 40).Download rates surpassed CD purchaces,with the latter continuing to decline moderately for the remainder of the surveyed timeframe.The former,however,climbed marginally to just above 40 in the middle of 2014,before falling at roughly the same rate as the latter for the rest of the period.

In contrast,there was an upward trend in the streams overall.Starting off with the lowest music sales of 5 in 2011,it increased sharply to above 40 in 2018,exceeding the rest of the methods and generally becoming the highest figure.

Task Response

8
The report effectively addresses the task by identifying the main trends and making relevant comparisons between the three methods. The overview is clear and highlights the most significant change (the rise of streaming). Data is reported accurately according to the visual description, and the progression of the trends is well-described. To improve, ensure more consistent use of units (e.g., using '%' consistently) and refine minor grammatical spacing issues (e.g., spaces after commas) to enhance the overall professional polish.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices like 'In contrast', 'The former', and 'The latter' helps guide the reader through the comparisons. However, there are some minor issues with spacing after punctuation (e.g., 'perspective,it' and '2014 ,the') which slightly disrupt the visual flow. To improve, ensure consistent spacing after commas and periods to maintain a professional presentation.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary is generally appropriate and varied, using terms such as 'converge', 'surpassed', and 'upward trend'. There is a good attempt to use synonyms for different methods. To reach a higher band, try to avoid repetitive phrasing and ensure that descriptors for trends (e.g., 'effective technique' instead of 'popular method') are used with more precision in a statistical context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are several grammatical inaccuracies that prevent a higher score. Specifically, there are issues with article usage (e.g., 'except for streaming method' should be 'except for the streaming method'), missing units (e.g., 'started from 35 and 55' should be '35% and 55%'), and some awkward phrasing. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and the inclusion of necessary articles to improve overall accuracy.
