The line graph illustrates the number of people who use Chinese, Arabic, Italian and Greek as their first language in Australia.

Overall, it is evident that most people use Greek as their first language at the beginning of the period, whereas Chinese recorded for the most in this figure by the end of the period, as a result of a significant increase. However, the figure for Greek and Italian decreased over the period of time.

At the beginning of the period, Greek stood at nearly 250,000 people, with the highest share.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by describing the main trends and making relevant comparisons between the four languages. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data (e.g., Greek starting at nearly 250,000 instead of around 200,000, Italian starting at 150,000 instead of around 300,000, and Chinese reaching 350,000 instead of 400,000). Additionally, the overview could be more precise, and the final paragraph contains a minor grammatical issue ('there was a minimal fall... went down'). To improve, ensure data is reported accurately and refine sentence structures for clarity.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'At the beginning', 'Meanwhile', and 'In contrast' helps the reader follow the progression. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'the period between 1986 and 2011, there was...' which lacks a clear subject, and the transition from the first body paragraph to the second could be smoother. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but a few sentences could be more tightly linked.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, including terms like 'illustrates', 'evident', 'significant increase', 'witnessed a gradual fall', 'surpassed', 'reaching its peak', and 'increased markedly'. These show flexibility and control. However, there are some inaccuracies and less natural phrasing, such as 'recorded for the most in this figure' and 'the figure for Arabic language increased markedly from the lowest figure'. The word 'figure' is overused, and some expressions could be more precise. Overall, the lexical resource is adequate but not fully sophisticated. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, with some variety in tense and clause types. However, there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'whereas Chinese recorded for the most in this figure' is ungrammatical, and 'the period between 1986 and 2011, there was a minimal fall...' is a fragment. Additionally, 'went down from 150,000 people to just above 100,000 people' is a dangling modifier. These errors, while not frequent, are noticeable and reduce the overall accuracy. The report would benefit from more careful proofreading and attention to sentence construction.
