The line graph illustrates the number of international students from three countries, Iran, Greece and Turkey, who registered at Sheffield University between 2005 and 2009.

Overall, it is clear that the number of Greek students decreased significantly throughout the period, while the figures for Iranian and Turkish students increased substantially.

In 2005, Greece had the highest number of students among three countries, at 180 students. However, it fell noticeably to around 50 students by the end of the period. In contrast, Iran stood at around 40 students in 2005. Despite some fluctuations, it grew noticeably and overtook Greece in 2007 and Turkey in 2008, reaching a peak of 160 students in 2009.

Turkey recorded the lowest figure at only 20 students in 2005. It grew sharply to 90 students in 2007 and overtook Greece. Although there was a marginal decrease, it continued growing and peaked at 130 students by the end of the period.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and accurately describing the main trends for all three countries. The data is mostly accurate, with minor deviations (e.g., Turkey's final figure) that do not detract from the overall quality. The structure is logical, and the use of appropriate vocabulary and comparisons enhances clarity. To improve, ensure all data points are precisely reported and consider adding a brief mention of the initial and final values for each country in the overview.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The introduction clearly paraphrases the task, and the overview effectively summarizes the main trends. The body paragraphs are logically divided by country, with clear references to time periods and comparisons. However, to achieve a perfect score, consider using a wider range of cohesive devices (e.g., 'whereas', 'while', 'in contrast') to link ideas more explicitly and ensure smooth transitions between paragraphs. The paragraphing is generally well-managed, but a more explicit link between the overview and the detailed paragraphs could enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, with words like 'illustrates', 'registered', 'decreased significantly', 'increased substantially', 'fluctuations', 'overtook', and 'peaked'. These are used accurately and naturally. To reach a band 9, you could incorporate more sophisticated and varied lexical items, such as 'witnessed a steady rise', 'experienced a downward trend', or 'reached a plateau'. Additionally, ensure precise data descriptions (e.g., 'around 40 students' vs. 'approximately 35') to enhance accuracy. Overall, the lexical resource is strong and effective.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report shows a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. For example, 'In 2005, Greece had the highest number...' and 'Despite some fluctuations, it grew noticeably...' are well-constructed. There are no significant grammar errors, and punctuation is used correctly. To achieve a band 9, you could vary sentence structures further by using more complex forms, such as conditional or passive constructions, and ensure that all comparisons are grammatically precise (e.g., 'among the three countries' instead of 'among three countries'). The grammar is accurate and controlled, but a bit more flexibility would push it to the highest band.
