The graph illustrates the proportions of adults online using various social networking sites, according to a survey in the United States between 2012 and 2015.

Generally speaking, the trend in the proportion of adults using the websites is upward, with a faster increase for Instagram and

Pinterest than the others, including Facebook, the most popular website overall. While there was a small rise in the proportion of online adults using the latter, from 67% to 72% over the period, in. the last three years the trend was flat. By contrast, the proportion of the usage of Instagram jumped more than twofold from 13% in 2012 to 28% in 2015. A similar pattern was seen at the Pinterest site where the proportion of adult users went up more than 100% from 15% to 31%.

Task Response

The report effectively summarizes the main trends and makes relevant comparisons. It correctly identifies the overall upward trend, highlights the significant growth of Instagram and Pinterest, and notes the relative stability of Facebook. The data provided is accurate and well-selected. To improve, consider mentioning the trends for LinkedIn and Twitter, as they are part of the visual information. Additionally, ensure that all sentences are complete and free of minor typographical errors (e.g., 'in. the last three years'). Overall, the response is well-structured and meets the task requirements. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The introduction paraphrases the task, and the overview clearly identifies the main trends. The body paragraph presents key data with appropriate comparisons. However, the paragraphing could be improved by separating the discussion of Facebook from the other platforms, and the use of cohesive devices is somewhat limited. Consider using more linking words (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly') to enhance the flow between sentences.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and varied, with good use of terms like 'proportions', 'trend', 'jumped', and 'flat'. The report demonstrates a clear ability to describe data accurately. To reach a higher band, you could incorporate more sophisticated synonyms (e.g., 'witnessed a surge', 'remained stable') and avoid repetition of 'proportion' and 'adults'. Overall, the lexical range is strong but not fully flexible.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is largely accurate, with a good mix of sentence structures, including complex sentences. There are minor punctuation issues (e.g., the comma after 'Instagram' and the period after 'in') that slightly affect clarity. The report would benefit from more varied grammatical constructions, such as passive voice or conditional forms, to demonstrate full flexibility. Overall, the grammar is controlled and mostly error-free.
