Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the key information from the pie charts. It provides a clear overview and highlights the main trends, such as the consistent importance of suitable degree courses and the significant changes in proximity to parental home and sports activities. The data is accurately reported, with only minor omissions (e.g., quality of resources is not explicitly mentioned, but this does not detract from the overall response). The organization is logical, and comparisons are well-made. To further improve, ensure all categories are covered, but overall, this is a strong response.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear introduction, overall summary, and logically grouped body paragraphs. Cohesive devices are used effectively to guide the reader through the comparisons. Paragraphing is skillful, with each paragraph focusing on a distinct aspect. To achieve a higher band, consider varying sentence structures even more and ensuring seamless transitions between ideas, though the current flow is already very good.

Lexical Resource

A wide range of vocabulary is used accurately and appropriately, with phrases like 'accompanying pie charts', 'most important reason', 'increased slightly', and 'fell sharply'. There is good use of synonyms and precise language. To reach the highest band, aim for even more sophisticated and natural lexical choices, such as more varied expressions for trends and comparisons, and avoid minor spelling errors like 'accompaying' and 'studens'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

A variety of complex grammatical structures is used with a good degree of control. Sentences are generally error-free, and punctuation is correct. There are minor errors such as 'become' instead of 'became' and 'choose' instead of 'chose', but these do not impede understanding. To improve further, focus on consistent tense usage and subject-verb agreement, and consider incorporating more advanced structures like conditional sentences or passive voice where appropriate.
