The line graph gives data on the unemployment rate and the number of emigrants in Ireland from 1988 to 2008.

Overall, the share of unemployed people declined considerably despite witnessing dramatic variations, while the number of the Irish moving abroad increased slightly, albeit varying significantly over the period.

Regarding the unemployment rate, the proportion of people without a job made up around 17% in 1988, dipping to 13% in 1990 and then peaking at 16% in 1990. This was followed by a more than three-fold decline to 5% in 2000 when the figure entered a period of relative stability, doubling from this level in 2007 to nearly 10% in 2008.

As for the number of people leaving Ireland, it soared from 40,000 in 1988 to its maximum of 70,000 in 1989, then plummeting to approximately 35,000 and hovering at this level until 2005. Afterwards, however, it reached a hefty 42,000 in 2008, thus exceeding the initial figure by 2,000 people.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task and provides a clear overview of the trends. It identifies the main movements in both unemployment and emigration. However, there are some internal inconsistencies in the data reporting - for example, mentioning two different percentages for the year 1990 in the unemployment paragraph, and providing figures for emigration that deviate from the provided description. To improve, ensure that the data points mentioned are consistent and that the relationship between the two variables is more clearly highlighted where applicable.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized, with a clear introduction, a concise overview, and logical body paragraphs that separate the two different data sets. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Regarding...', 'As for...', and 'Afterwards, however' helps the reader navigate the information smoothly. To reach a higher band, ensure that the progression of ideas within sentences is even more seamless and that transitions between the two trends are more integrated rather than just sequential.

Lexical Resource

The writer demonstrates a strong range of vocabulary, using varied terms to describe trends such as 'dipping', 'peaking', 'plummeting', and 'hovering'. The use of 'share of unemployed people' and 'proportion' shows good lexical flexibility. To improve, aim for even more sophisticated collocations and ensure that the precision of the vocabulary matches the intensity of the trends described (e.g., ensuring 'soared' is used only for very sharp increases).

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of complex structures, including participle clauses (e.g., 'dipping to...', 'then plummeting to...') and subordinate clauses. However, there are some issues with sentence structure and consistency. For instance, the phrase 'then plummeting' in the final paragraph creates a fragment-like structure that lacks a main verb to support the subject. Ensure that every complex sentence is grammatically complete and that tense usage remains consistent throughout the description of historical data.
