The image is a line graph depicting weekly earnings of full-time graduate employees by type of degree and age; the x-axis represents age in six age groups from 21-25 to 56-60, and the y-axis represents earnings in British pounds from 400 to 800. The three lines represent higher degree (green), first degree (blue), and others (orange), with all starting around 400 pounds for age 21-25. The higher degree line peaks at 800 pounds for age 41-45 then decreases to around 700 pounds for age 56-60. The first degree line peaks around 700 pounds for age 41-45 and decreases to around 600 pounds for age 56-60. The others line remains relatively flat around 500 pounds throughout all age groups.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies in data interpretation that obscure the main trends. For instance, the report identifies 'others degree' as having the highest earnings, whereas the visual description indicates that 'higher degree' holders earned the most. Additionally, the description of trends (upward vs. downward) often contradicts the provided data. To improve, focus on accurately identifying which category is highest or lowest at specific points and ensure that the direction of trends (increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable) matches the visual evidence. A clearer overview that summarizes the general relationship between degree level and earnings would also strengthen the response.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the report is somewhat confusing, making it difficult for the reader to follow the trends being described. The logical flow between sentences is weak, and the grouping of information does not clearly highlight the main features of the graph. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic (e.g., one paragraph for the highest earners and another for the lower earners) and use more effective cohesive devices such as 'In contrast,' 'Similarly,' or 'Regarding...' to link your ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is quite limited and often repetitive or used incorrectly. For example, phrases like '21 up to 60 age' and '57 age' are non-standard; instead, use 'the 21-25 age group' or 'those aged 57.' There is also some confusion in word choice, such as using 'others degree' instead of 'other qualifications.' Aim to use a wider range of academic synonyms for 'show' (e.g., 'illustrate,' 'depict') and 'increase/decrease' (e.g., 'fluctuated,' 'surged,' 'declined'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that impact the clarity of the report. Issues include incorrect sentence structures, improper use of prepositions, and errors in subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'showed a steadily increase'). Punctuation is also inconsistent. To improve, focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that noun phrases (like age groups) are constructed correctly. Practice using adverbs to modify verbs (e.g., 'increased steadily' rather than 'showed a steadily increase').
