Band 6+: The table and graph below give information about Internet searches in the US between 2004 and 2010.

The report addresses the task by describing the main trends in the data for the five search engines over the period. It provides an overall summary and some specific figures, which is appropriate. However, there are several inaccuracies and omissions that detract from the task achievement. For example, the initial percentage for Google is correctly stated as 35%, but the final figure is given as 65% instead of 66%. Yahoo's starting point is described as 'below 34%' when it was 32%, and its decline is not accurately tracked. Microsoft's trend is described as 'stayed constant at 10%' but it actually fluctuated slightly, ending at 11%. AOL's figures are misstated (starting at 9% instead of 5%, and ending at 5% instead of 3%). Additionally, the report omits the total number of searchers data, which is a key part of the task. The writing is generally clear, but there are some grammatical errors (e.g., 'the Microsoft, AOL and Ask Jeeves experienced', 'it had experienced steady declined', 'Ask Jeeves remain'). To improve, ensure all key data points are accurately reported, include the total searchers information, and proofread for grammatical accuracy.

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction and an overview, and it groups the search engines logically. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and minor lapses in cohesion. For example, the phrase 'the Microsoft, AOL and Ask Jeeves experienced' is grammatically incorrect and affects clarity. Additionally, the use of 'However' to introduce the trend for Google is slightly misleading, as it contrasts with the previous sentence but the relationship is not fully clear. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that linking words are used accurately to show relationships between ideas. Also, avoid abrupt shifts between time periods and data points.

The report uses a range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'illustrate', 'experienced a slight decrease', 'underwent some fluctuation', and 'increased steadily'. However, there are some inaccuracies and repetitions. For instance, 'goggle' and 'yaho' are misspelled, and 'the most popular search engines' should be 'the most popular search engine' (singular). The phrase 'steady declined' is incorrect; it should be 'a steady decline'. To improve, use more precise and varied vocabulary, such as 'witnessed a gradual rise', 'remained relatively stable', or 'showed a downward trend'. Also, ensure correct spelling of key terms and avoid informal or incorrect expressions. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of grammatical structures, including simple and complex sentences. However, there are several errors that affect accuracy. For example, 'the Microsoft, AOL and Ask Jeeves experienced' should be 'Microsoft, AOL, and Ask Jeeves experienced' (no 'the' before company names). 'It had experienced steady declined, fell at below 20%' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'it had experienced a steady decline, falling to below 20%'. 'Ask Jeeves remain' should be 'Ask Jeeves remained'. Also, 'in until 2010' is incorrect; it should be 'until 2010'. To improve, proofread carefully for subject-verb agreement, verb tense consistency, and correct use of prepositions. Using a wider variety of complex structures, such as relative clauses and conditional sentences, would also enhance the grammatical range.
