Band 4+: The pie charts below show the proportions of residential water usage for different purposes in 1980 and 2008. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The report addresses the main requirements of the task and identifies the key trends and changes between the two years. However, there are several issues that affect the overall quality. The overview is somewhat inaccurate, as it claims the toilet was the lowest figure over the period, whereas the garden was actually lower in 2008. There is also an incomplete sentence in the third paragraph ('After that, between 1980 and 2008 there was'). To improve, ensure that all sentences are grammatically complete and that the overview accurately reflects the data presented in both charts. Additionally, work on using more precise comparative language and ensuring that the summary of trends is logically structured. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

The report follows a logical structure, but the progression is somewhat repetitive due to the constant use of the phrase 'between 1980 and 2008' in almost every sentence. To improve, use a wider variety of cohesive devices and temporal markers (e.g., 'During the period shown,' 'In the subsequent year,' or 'By 2008'). Additionally, ensure that transitions between sentences are smoother to avoid a 'list-like' feel.

The vocabulary is functional but limited and contains several errors in word formation and usage. For example, 'fell drastic' should be 'fell drastically' (adverb usage), and 'washings clothes' should be 'washing clothes'. Try to incorporate more sophisticated synonyms for 'increase' and 'decrease', such as 'surged', 'plummeted', or 'remained relatively stable', to demonstrate a higher range of lexical control. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

There are several grammatical inaccuracies that hinder the flow of the report. Issues include missing articles (e.g., 'the figure of bathroom', 'Significant rise in kitchen'), incorrect preposition usage, and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'the most striking aspect the figure of bathroom is the highest'). Focus on mastering sentence structures that combine data points more fluidly and ensure that subject-verb agreement and article usage are consistent throughout the text.
