Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing a clear overview and highlighting the key trends and data points from both the table and the pie charts. The comparison between the two years is well-handled. There is a minor typographical error in the final paragraph where multiple synonyms are listed together ('increased/ grew/ rose expanded'), which should be cleaned up to a single verb. Additionally, ensure that the data extracted from the pie charts remains consistent with the visual description provided, as there were slight discrepancies in the student's reported percentages for non-local students compared to the source text.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, a concise overview, and well-structured body paragraphs. The progression of ideas is easy to follow. To reach a higher band, ensure that the transition between the table data and the pie chart data is even more seamless. Additionally, avoid including multiple options (e.g., 'increased/ grew/ rose expanded') in the final draft, as this disrupts the flow and indicates an unfinished thought.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and effective for describing trends (e.g., 'constituted the largest share', 'saw the fastest growth'). However, there is a significant error in the final paragraph where multiple synonyms are listed together instead of choosing one. This affects the professional quality of the report. Aim for more variety in describing proportions and changes to demonstrate a wider range of lexical control.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and comparative forms. Most sentences are error-free. There is a minor error in the introduction ('at an in Australians University'), which should be corrected to 'at Australian universities'. Ensure that subject-verb agreement and noun-adjective forms are consistently accurate.
