The graph illustrates the number of international students enrollment from Iran, Greece and Turkey at the Sheffield University from 2005 to 2009.

Overall, Greece started with the highest number of students, which fell towards the end of the period. That pattern was reversed by students from Iran and Turkey, which increased steadily throughout the period.

In 2005 Greece started with the highest number of 180 students, but it decreased steadily until 2006, when it plunged to approximately 70 students. From 2007 to 2008 the number of students stabilized, but at the beginning of 2008 it started to gradually decline.

The trend in Turkey and Iran was mostly upwards. Turkey started with a number of 20 students, which was the lowest out of all, but it steadily increased throughout the whole time. In 2005 the number of students reached 120 people.

Task Response

The report attempts to describe the main trends in the graph, but there are significant inaccuracies in the data reported. The overall trends are not clearly identified, and the description of individual countries' enrollment figures contains several errors. To improve, focus on accurately representing the data and clearly highlighting the main trends and comparisons between the countries.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an attempt to organize the information, but the structure could be improved for better flow. The 'Overall' paragraph is not a good summary of the data. The description of the trends for each country lacks clear transitions and connections between sentences, making it somewhat difficult to follow the changes over time. Paragraphing could be more effective in grouping related information. For example, the trends of Turkey and Iran are discussed in separate paragraphs, which could be combined or better linked to highlight their contrasting patterns.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'plunged,' 'stabilized,' 'gradually decline,' 'steadily increased,' and 'levelled off.' However, there are instances where the word choice could be more precise or varied to enhance the description. For example, using synonyms for 'increased' or 'decreased' could add more nuance. The phrase 'number of students reached 120 people' is not entirely accurate; consider revising it to 'the number of students reached 120.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'Greece started with the highest number of 180 students' is grammatically awkward and contains inaccurate data. Also, the statement that Greece 'fell towards the end of the period' is not accurate. The report also contains errors such as 'Iran began with 40 students, which slowly rose to 60 in 2006, then the growth levelled of, until to 2008, when it began to significantly rocket reaching the highest number of all of 160 students.' Proofreading to correct these errors would improve the report's overall quality.
