The line graph demonstrates the proportion of citizens with access to higher education in 4 different countries between 1990 and 2020.

It can be seen from given information that, in all nations, the proportion of residents with access higher education witnessed a positive change albeit at varying degrees, with India showing the biggest and China becoming dominant by the end of the period.

In 1990, one-fifth of Chinese people were able to study at universities, after which is number gradually went up to approximately 25 % by 1995. From this point onwards, the number surged till the end of the given time period, overtaking other countries and becoming dominant. A similar pattern can be seen for India, initially only 10 % of Indians had access to post-secondary school. From that point, the figure rose slightly to 12% by 1995, which was followed by a noticable rose till the end of the time frame (to around 85%).

In Russia, the share of people accessing higher education started from considerably higher percentage (50%). This figure followed an upward trend to well above 60% in 2020, apart from 2000, when there was a drop of about 10% (declined to 45%). The USA, on the other hand, increased gradually from 60% in 1990 to roughly 76% in 2020.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and detailed comparisons of the trends in higher education access across the four countries. It correctly identifies the overall upward trend, highlights India's significant growth and China's dominance by 2020, and includes specific data points for each country. Minor inaccuracies (e.g., 'noticable rose' instead of 'rise', and slight imprecision in describing Russia's trend) are present but do not detract from the overall clarity and relevance. To improve, ensure precise language and avoid minor grammatical slips, but the response is well-structured and covers the main features appropriately.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized and generally easy to follow. It begins with an introduction, provides an overview, and then details each country. However, the paragraphing could be improved: the overview is combined with the introduction, and the detailed descriptions are not clearly separated into distinct paragraphs. Consider dedicating a separate paragraph to the overview and grouping countries logically (e.g., those with significant growth vs. those with moderate growth) to enhance clarity and cohesion.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and shows some variety (e.g., 'witnessed a positive change', 'surged', 'dominant', 'noticable rose'). However, there are minor inaccuracies and repetitions. For example, 'noticable rose' should be 'noticeable rise', and 'the number' is used instead of 'the figure' or 'the percentage'. To achieve a higher score, use a wider range of synonyms and more precise terms (e.g., 'experienced a significant increase', 'saw a steady climb', 'peaked at').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. However, there are a few errors and awkward phrasings that detract from overall accuracy. For instance, 'access higher education' should be 'access to higher education', 'is number' should be 'this number', and 'noticable rose' should be 'noticeable rise'. Additionally, some sentences are slightly wordy or unclear. Proofreading to eliminate these minor errors would improve the score.
