Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the overall trend and making some comparisons between age groups. However, there are several inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, the 25-35 age group is described as having a dramatic growth from the middle of the period, but the data shows a more gradual increase overall. Additionally, the report incorrectly states that the 35 and over group increased by almost 10 people, whereas the actual increase is about 11 percentage points. The report also omits specific data points and fails to mention the fluctuations in the 7-14 age group. To improve, ensure that all key features are accurately reported and that comparisons are clear and supported by data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and an overview, but the body paragraphs are not logically organized. The description of the 15-24 and 7-14 age groups is combined in one paragraph, while the other two groups are described in a separate paragraph, which is acceptable, but the flow within paragraphs is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. For example, 'Similarly with the age group from 7-14 years' is awkward and lacks a clear connection to the previous sentence. The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate, making the message harder to follow. To improve, use clearer paragraphing (e.g., one paragraph for the younger groups and another for the older groups) and employ a wider range of linking words and referencing (e.g., 'In contrast', 'Meanwhile', 'This group') to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'increased', 'steadily increasing', 'rise rapidly', 'stable climb', 'dramaticaly growth'), but there are several inaccuracies and limited range. For instance, 'spectators' is not the best word for cinema visitors; 'viewers' or 'people' would be more natural. Also, 'dramaticaly' is misspelled, and 'growth' is used as a noun where a verb form would be better. The phrase 'over 30 years group' is unclear and should be 'the 35 and over age group'. To improve, expand your vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'fluctuate', 'peak', 'plateau', 'surge') and ensure correct word forms and collocations (e.g., 'experienced a dramatic increase' instead of 'saw dramaticaly growth').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report attempts to use a variety of sentence structures, but there are numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'The line graph illustrate' should be 'illustrates' (subject-verb agreement), 'it rise' should be 'it rose' (tense error), and 'it growth' should be 'it grew' (wrong word form). There are also issues with articles and prepositions (e.g., 'from the beginning starts' should be 'from the beginning, it starts', 'by 8 years period' should be 'over an 8-year period'). Punctuation is often missing, such as after 'Overall' and before 'where'. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, consistent use of past tense, and correct word forms. Reviewing basic grammar rules and proofreading for common errors will help increase accuracy.
