Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task and provides a clear overview of the trends. It correctly identifies the upward trends in most countries and the decline in Northern Ireland. However, there are some inaccuracies in the data reporting (e.g., stating Wales started at 31% when the description suggests 20%, and misnaming Northern Ireland as 'Northern Iceland'). To improve, ensure higher precision when citing specific figures from the visual and double-check the spelling of proper nouns to maintain professional accuracy. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized, moving logically from an overview to specific details for each country. The use of cohesive devices such as 'Overall', 'Starting at', 'The most notable increase', and 'In contrast' helps the reader follow the comparison easily. To reach a higher band, ensure that the transitions between sentences are even more seamless and that paragraphing is used to group similar trends more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for an academic report, with good use of verbs like 'experienced', 'climbed', 'witness', and 'fell'. However, there are some minor issues: 'Northern Iceland' is a clear misspelling of 'Northern Ireland', and 'par-time' is a typo for 'part-time'. Additionally, some word choices could be more varied to avoid repetition of 'percentage' and 'country'. Aim for more sophisticated synonyms to demonstrate full lexical flexibility.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of sentence structures, including complex sentences with relative clauses (e.g., 'Wales, which started at...'). However, there are a few grammatical slips, such as 'making in the country' (which should be 'making it the country') and a missing comma after 'Starting at approximately 25%'. Improving punctuation accuracy and ensuring subject-verb agreement and pronoun usage are precise will help elevate the score.
