Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and highlighting key trends. It accurately describes the main changes for most facilities, including the decline in lending books and reference services, and the rise in computer internet access and CD borrowing. The report also correctly notes the stability of video borrowing. Minor omissions, such as not explicitly mentioning the intermediate values for all services, are acceptable. To improve, ensure all data points are covered and consider making more direct comparisons between categories, such as noting that computer internet access overtook lending books by 2010. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The progression of ideas is logical, and the use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'Overall', 'To begin with', 'Meanwhile', 'Regarding', 'Concurrently', 'Finally') helps the reader follow the information effortlessly. There are minor lapses, such as the phrase 'Regarding computer internet access, showed a significant growth' which could be smoother, but overall the message is easy to follow. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that transitions between paragraphs are seamless.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, including terms like 'patrons', 'experienced a gradual decrease', 'significant growth', and 'dramatic increase'. There is some repetition (e.g., 'patrons' and 'users' are used interchangeably, but 'visitors' is also used), and a few phrases could be more precise (e.g., 'fell rapidly' and 'continued to fall slightly' are acceptable but could be varied). To achieve a higher score, aim for more sophisticated and varied lexical choices, and ensure that all terms are used accurately (e.g., 'showed a significant growth' should be 'showed significant growth' or 'experienced significant growth').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. However, there are a few minor errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'at public library' (missing article), 'Regarding computer internet access, showed a significant growth' (missing subject), and 'borrowing renting videos' (missing 'or'). These errors are minor and do not impede understanding, but they prevent the report from achieving a higher band. To improve, proofread carefully for article usage, subject-verb agreement, and parallel structures.
