The pictures illustrate the number of workers in the UK steel industry along with the changes in value from 1970 to 2000.

Overall, the number of workers, total UK demand, and UK steel production all followed a similar downward trend throughout the period. Notably, steel import increased noticeably over the period.

In 1970, the number of employees amounted to 50000, compared with 41000 in 1980. After declining to around 23000 in 1990, it stood at 15000 in 2000.

Meanwhile, total UK demand and UK steel production stood at 195000 and 175000 tonnes, respectively, in 1970 . Total UK demand fell to around 180000 tonnes in 1980 before decreasing further to just under 100000 tonnes in 2000. In 1980, 160000 tonnes of steel were produced, and this figure then dropped to approximately 85000 tonnes in 2000. By contrast, the figure for imported steel stood at roughly 12000 tonnes before rising to nearly 25000 tonnes in 1990 and peaking at around 60000 tonnes by the end of the period.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main trends and key data points from both graphs. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. The data is generally accurate, though there are minor inaccuracies (e.g., 41,000 instead of 45,000 for 1980 employment; 195,000 instead of 200,000 for 1970 demand; 12,000 instead of 15,000 for 1970 imports; 25,000 instead of 30,000 for 1990 imports). The overview correctly identifies the downward trends and the increase in imports. To improve, ensure data precision and consider using more varied vocabulary to describe changes. Overall, the response is well-organized and covers the requirements appropriately.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall trend statement and logical progression through the data. Paragraphing is appropriate, and the use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Meanwhile', and 'By contrast' helps the reader follow the information smoothly. Minor lapses, such as the slightly abrupt transition between the first and second data paragraphs, are minimal and do not detract from overall clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is varied and appropriate for the task, with good use of terms like 'downward trend', 'amounted to', 'declining', 'stood at', and 'peaking'. The phrasing is generally natural and precise. To reach a higher band, consider using a wider range of synonyms (e.g., 'workforce' instead of 'number of workers') and more sophisticated collocations (e.g., 'experienced a sharp rise' instead of 'increased noticeably'). Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences with subordinate clauses (e.g., 'After declining to around 23000 in 1990, it stood at 15000 in 2000'). Punctuation is mostly correct, and errors are minor (e.g., missing space before 'in 1970' and a slight inconsistency in number formatting). Overall, grammar is used effectively and accurately, with only occasional lapses that do not impede understanding.
