Task Response

The report addresses the main requirements of the task and identifies key trends, such as the general preference for watching over participating. However, there are some inaccuracies in data reporting and logical grouping. For instance, the report mentions 'Horse riding and racing' in the final paragraph with a watching percentage of 35%, which contradicts the data provided earlier. Additionally, the comparison in the final paragraph is somewhat convoluted and difficult to follow due to complex sentence structures. To improve, ensure that data points are clearly linked to their respective categories and aim for greater precision in how comparisons are phrased.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is occasionally hindered by awkward phrasing and grammatical errors. The use of cohesive devices is somewhat repetitive, and the final paragraph becomes quite cluttered, making it difficult for the reader to follow the comparisons smoothly. To improve, focus on using more varied linking words and ensure that each sentence flows logically into the next without becoming overly complex or convoluted.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is sufficient to convey the basic meaning, but there are several instances of inappropriate word choices (e.g., 'the expectation' instead of 'the exception', 'physical soccer' instead of 'football', and 'has the population' which is not quite right in this context). There is also some repetition of words like 'watching' and 'participating'. To reach a higher band, aim for a wider range of synonyms and more precise academic collocations to describe trends and comparisons.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

Grammatical errors are frequent and sometimes impede communication. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'Football and Horse riding and racing has'), sentence structure (the final paragraph is a run-on sentence with confusing syntax), and the use of relative clauses. The phrasing 'which higher than itself participation rate' is grammatically incorrect. I recommend practicing complex sentence structures and focusing on accuracy in subject-verb agreement and comparative forms to ensure clarity.
