The chart illustrates the level of unemployment in Ireland and the proportion of migrants between 1988 and 2008.

Overall, while the unemployment levels remained unchanged over the 10-year period, the number of people leaving the country showed a significant decrease at the end of the period.

In 1988, the number of people leaving Ireland was recorded at 40,000. The number of people who migrated from the country rose dramatically, peaking at approximately 70,000 in 1990. In the following years, it fluctuated between 20,000 and 40,000 before standing at about 41,000 in 2008.

By contrast, the level of unemployment showed a different pattern. The figure started at 17% in 1988. There was a gradual decrease to about 13% in 1990, after which it rose considerably to 17%, the same as the starting year. However, the unemployment rate showed a sharp drop to approximately 6% in 2000 and fluctuated before shooting up to nearly 12% at the end of the period.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing both unemployment levels and emigration, and it includes an overall statement. However, there are notable inaccuracies in the data (e.g., starting emigration at 40,000 instead of 60,000, a peak at 70,000 in 1990, and unemployment rising to 17% and then to 12% at the end). These inaccuracies detract from the task achievement. Additionally, the report omits some key trends, such as the gradual decline in unemployment from 1988 to 2000 and the later slight increase. To improve, ensure that the data is accurately reported and that the main trends are clearly summarized with relevant comparisons.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the overview is somewhat inaccurate as it states unemployment remained unchanged, which contradicts the data. The paragraphing is adequate, but the flow could be improved by more explicit linking between the two trends. Overall, the message is mostly easy to follow, but there are minor lapses in coherence due to the inaccurate overview.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with terms like 'illustrates', 'recorded', 'peaking', 'fluctuated', and 'shooting up'. There is a good range of synonyms for describing trends. However, some phrases could be more precise (e.g., 'proportion of migrants' instead of 'number of people leaving'), and there is room for more sophisticated lexical choices. Overall, the lexical resource is strong but not fully flexible or natural.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. There are no significant grammar errors, and punctuation is used correctly. The structures are controlled and accurate, though there is minor room for more variety in sentence openings. Overall, the grammar is highly accurate and contributes to clarity.
