Illustrated in the line charts are the trends of three boys’ and girls’ names which are currently popular in the UK from 1925 to 2000.

Generally, the girls’ names remain stable until 1975, then increase at the same rate after that year. However, the boys’ names show random trends for each name.

In more detail, girls’ names, Sophia and Isabella, show the same trends. Those names were almost not used until 1975. Then it increased until reaching 9 to 10 thousand people in 2000. The trend for “Emily” also shows the same rate as the other names, but the starting point is different. “Emily” is more popular even since 1925, which reached 1,8 thousand people. In 1975, it also followed the other names’ increased trends, which gradually reached 10 thousand people in 2000.

Similarly, the boys’ name, Alexander, shows a steady trend until 1975, then it increased until the same number of the other girls’ names. In contrast, “Daniel” shows a significant upward trend until 1975. However, it remained steady and even slightly decreased to the same number as the other boys’ names, Alexander and Oliver.

In summary, those boys’ and girls’ popular names started to be popular since 1975, except for the boys’ name Alexander, which has been popular since 1925.

Task Response

The report covers the requirements of the task, providing a general overview and some specific details about the trends in boys' and girls' names. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions. For example, the report states that Sophia and Isabella reached 9 to 10 thousand people in 2000, but the graph shows values 'per thousand', not 'thousand people'. Also, the report states that Alexander has been popular since 1925, but the graph shows a low value in 1925. To improve, ensure that all data is accurately represented and that all key features are addressed.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize information, but the overall structure could be improved for better clarity. The flow of ideas is somewhat disrupted by abrupt transitions and generalizations. Consider using more specific transition words and phrases to link ideas between sentences and paragraphs. For example, instead of starting a new paragraph with 'Similarly,' try to connect it more explicitly to the previous paragraph's content. Also, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single, clear aspect of the data to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a sufficient range of vocabulary to convey the main trends, but there's room for improvement in precision and sophistication. The language is generally clear, but some phrases are a bit generic (e.g., 'show the same trends,' 'increased trends'). Try to incorporate more specific and varied vocabulary to describe the changes and patterns observed in the graphs. For instance, instead of 'increased trends,' you could use 'experienced a surge' or 'rose significantly.' Also, ensure that the units are correctly represented (e.g., 'per thousand' instead of 'thousand people'). Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable command of grammar, but there are noticeable errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and appropriate article usage. For example, 'those names were almost not used' could be rephrased for better clarity and grammatical correctness. Also, ensure that punctuation is used accurately to avoid run-on sentences or misinterpretations. Review and correct these errors to improve the overall grammatical accuracy of the report.
