Task Response

The report addresses the task by comparing the percentages of students choosing foreign languages in 2009 and 2014. It identifies the most and least popular languages and notes some changes. However, there are several inaccuracies: Spanish is reported as 16% in 2009 (should be 20%), Italian as 20% in 2009 and 24% in 2014 (should be 9% and 8%), German as 12% in 2009 (should be 16%), and Russian as 9% in 2009 and 8% in 2014 (should be 12% and 4%). These errors affect the accuracy of the data presented. Additionally, there are minor language issues (e.g., 'british' should be capitalized, 'intalian' misspelled, 'remaning' misspelled, 'slighly' misspelled). To improve, ensure all data is accurately reported and proofread for spelling and grammar.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is sometimes disrupted by inaccurate data references and unclear pronoun usage. For example, the overview states that French was 'one of the most popular' when it was actually the most popular, and the comparison of Italian and Spanish is confused. Additionally, the use of 'While' as a sentence fragment and 'As we can clearly see that' are awkward. To improve, ensure that the overview accurately reflects the main trends, use cohesive devices appropriately, and maintain consistent referencing. Paragraphing is present but could be more logical, such as grouping languages by trend (e.g., those that increased vs. decreased).

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, with some attempt at variation (e.g., 'proportion', 'declined', 'risen'). However, there are several inaccuracies in word choice and spelling: 'intalian' (Italian), 'remaning' (remaining), 'slighly' (slightly), and 'british' should be capitalized. Additionally, phrases like 'had 12%' and 'the proportion had 9%' are not precise; better alternatives would be 'accounted for 12%' or 'stood at 9%'. To achieve a higher band, expand your range of vocabulary and use it with more precision and accuracy. Pay attention to collocations and avoid repetitive phrasing. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors that affect clarity. For instance, 'While, spanish represented 16%' is a fragment; 'As we can clearly see that' is redundant; and 'who chosen' should be 'who chose'. Subject-verb agreement and tense consistency need attention. Punctuation is sometimes incorrect, such as the comma after 'While'. To improve, proofread carefully, ensure sentences are complete, and use a wider range of structures with greater accuracy. Practice constructing complex sentences with subordinate clauses correctly.
