The chart illustrates how many undergraduates in college registered in three field majors of study over a ten-year period.

Overall, what stands out from the graph is that business and arts experienced a significant decrease, which both show a steady downward trend. Engineering, on the other hand, showed an upward trend throughout.

Looking at the details, at the beginning in 2010, the number of students choosing business started at 150 students. Then, it dropped gradually to around 125 students in the middle of this year in this trend. It fell slightly to 125 students by the end of this period. After that, arts declined gradually from 110 students in 2010 to 60 students in 2020.

By contrast, Arts started from the highest of this trend at 175 students in 2010. It increased significantly to 260 students after six years. In 2020, the students enrolling in arts have risen to 325 students after ten years.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but contains significant inaccuracies and confusion in the data presented. The overall trend is correctly identified (Engineering up, Business and Arts down), but the specific figures and descriptions are largely incorrect or inconsistent. For example, the report states Business started at 150 (should be ~220), Arts started at 110 (should be ~130), and then later refers to Arts as starting at 175 and increasing, which contradicts the initial statement and the actual data. The report also mislabels Engineering as Arts in the second paragraph. To improve, ensure that the data is accurately reported and that the descriptions of each major are consistent and clearly separated. Focus on presenting the key features with correct figures and avoid mixing up the majors.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and an overview, but the body paragraphs lack logical organization and clear progression. The data for each major is not presented in a coherent sequence, and there is some confusion in the description of trends (e.g., mixing up majors and their data). The use of cohesive devices is limited and sometimes inaccurate, making the message harder to follow. To improve, organize the body paragraphs by major or by time period, and use a range of linking words and referencing to create a smoother flow.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary for describing trends (e.g., 'significant decrease', 'steady downward trend', 'upward trend', 'dropped gradually', 'increased significantly'), but the range is limited and there is repetition. Some word choices are imprecise or awkward (e.g., 'field majors of study', 'in the middle of this year in this trend', 'started from the highest of this trend'). To improve, expand your vocabulary with more varied synonyms and ensure precise and natural phrasing. Avoid informal or unclear expressions. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates some variety in sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'which both show a steady downward trend' is a relative clause error, and 'the students enrolling in arts have risen' is incorrect (should be 'the number of students enrolling in arts has risen'). There are also issues with tense consistency and subject-verb agreement. To improve, review grammar rules for relative clauses, subject-verb agreement, and tense usage. Practice writing more complex sentences with accurate punctuation.
