The pie charts show the percentage of students on one adult education center taking several cources in 1985 and this year. The courses mentioned in the 1985 chart are art, modern languages, fitness and dance, cookery, music appreciation and local history. Local history and music appreciation have been left out in this year’s chart and they have been replaced by IT.

Starting with art, it accounted for 17% of the percentage in 1985 but it has had a slight decrement and sits at 15% this year. Modern languages was the most popular course in 1985 with 24% but has downgraded this year to a 17%. Fitness and dance has the same percentage in both years(22%) and it was the second-most choosen subject in both graphs. The only course that became more popular this year than in 1985 is cookery and as depicted in the charts, it went from 14% to 19%.

The unique subjects in 1985, local history and music appreciation, also held some popularity having 15% and 8% respectively. This year, IT had the highest percentage(27) which makes it the most learnt lesson from all the subjects.

In conclusion, adults are getting more into technology nowadays and classes like music and history are not as preffered as they were. Only cookery has had more preferance this year than 1985 while modern languages and art have fallen of a little with cooking staying the same percentage.

Task Response

The report addresses the task by describing the main features of the pie charts and making some comparisons. However, there are significant inaccuracies in the data (e.g., art, modern languages, fitness and dance, cookery, and IT percentages are incorrect), and the report includes courses not mentioned in the visual description (e.g., fitness and dance, cookery, music appreciation, local history). The conclusion introduces an unsupported interpretation about adults' interest in technology. To improve, ensure that the data and course names align with the provided visual information, and focus on accurately reporting the main trends and comparisons without adding speculative comments.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a logical structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by unclear referencing and abrupt transitions. For example, the phrase 'the only course that became more popular' is not accurate based on the data, and the conclusion introduces a subjective opinion ('adults are getting more into technology') that is not directly supported by the visual. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea and use cohesive devices (e.g., 'in contrast', 'similarly') to link comparisons smoothly. Also, avoid introducing new information in the conclusion.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a range of vocabulary related to trends (e.g., 'accounted for', 'slight decrement', 'downgraded', 'depicted'), but there are some inaccuracies and informal choices. For instance, 'downgraded' is not the most precise term for a decrease in percentage; 'declined' or 'fell' would be more appropriate. Also, 'choosen' is a spelling error, and 'preffered' and 'preferance' are misspelled. To improve, use more precise and formal vocabulary (e.g., 'experienced a decline', 'remained stable') and ensure correct spelling. Avoid colloquial phrases like 'getting more into technology' in an academic report. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'the percentage of students on one adult education center' should be 'at' or 'in' the center. Also, 'has had a slight decrement' is awkward; 'has decreased slightly' is better. The sentence 'IT had the highest percentage(27) which makes it the most learnt lesson' is grammatically incorrect ('most learnt lesson' should be 'most popular course'). Additionally, 'fallen of a little' should be 'fallen slightly'. To improve, proofread for subject-verb agreement, prepositions, and word choice. Use a wider range of structures, such as passive voice or comparative clauses, to enhance accuracy and flexibility.
