The line graph compares percentages of four different household items in terms of their ownership rate in Singaporean houses from 1973 to 2008.

Overall, all items showed an increase in the ownership percentages, with cars being purchased 15 years later than its counterparts. It is also notable that despite starting with the lowest trends, noticeable rise can be seen in the trends for washing machine and cars, making them the widely owned appliances as opposed to air conditioning by the end of the period.

Since air conditioning was preferred in most Singaporean households than other home items, it had the highest ownership rate in 1973, accounting for almost 20%. After showing a steady upward trend, it ended the period with the lowest percentages, accounting for a mere 49%. Meanwhile, despite gaining popularity among Singaporean households starting in 1988, cars had a noticeable change in its ownership proportion before having a sharp rise to 81% in 2008, surpassing the trend for air conditioning.

When it comes to the other household items, the percentages of owned washing machines and cars recorded almost a similar starting point, with respective figures of 10% and 8%. Washing machines experienced a sixfold increase to more or less 60% in 1983, followed by a steady rise to a high of 98%. Furthermore, the trend for car ownership rose steadily over the period before ending at the same point as its counterpart in 2008, at 98%, both becoming the most owned household items in the country.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and highlighting key trends, such as the overall increase in ownership and the late emergence of computers. It makes relevant comparisons, particularly between washing machines and cars. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions: the computer trend is not described in detail, and the final percentages for washing machines and cars are overstated (98% instead of 95%). Additionally, the statement that air conditioning ended with the lowest percentage is incorrect, as computers had the lowest. To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported and that the description of each item is balanced and precise.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The progression of ideas is generally smooth, and the use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'Meanwhile', 'When it comes to') helps guide the reader. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'noticeable rise can be seen in the trends for washing machine and cars' which could be more directly linked to the preceding sentence. Additionally, the final paragraph could be better connected to the previous one to enhance the overall flow. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but there is room for more seamless transitions.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, including terms like 'ownership rate', 'accounting for', 'steady upward trend', and 'surpassing the trend'. There is some flexibility in expression, but there are a few inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'cars being purchased 15 years later than its counterparts' (should be 'their counterparts') and 'the widely owned appliances' (should be 'the most widely owned appliances'). The use of 'noticeable rise' and 'sharp rise' is effective, but more precise and varied vocabulary could be used to describe trends. Overall, the lexical resource is adequate but not fully sophisticated.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, showing some flexibility. However, there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. For example, 'with cars being purchased 15 years later than its counterparts' has a subject-verb agreement error ('its' should be 'their'), and 'noticeable rise can be seen in the trends for washing machine and cars' lacks subject-verb agreement ('washing machine' should be 'washing machines'). Additionally, there are punctuation issues, such as missing commas after introductory phrases (e.g., 'Since air conditioning was preferred in most Singaporean households than other home items' should have a comma after 'items'). The sentence 'After showing a steady upward trend, it ended the period with the lowest percentages' is slightly awkward. These errors, while not pervasive, are noticeable and detract from the overall accuracy. To improve, the writer should proofread for subject-verb agreement and use commas correctly.
