The table compares data on proportion of elderly people in rural and urban areas who allocated time for different leisure activities: reading, animated plays, playing and photography, in two years :1990 and 2010.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting the main trends and comparing the data across the categories and years. The overall statement is clear, and the detailed paragraphs provide relevant comparisons. Minor omissions, such as not explicitly stating the rural reading percentage for 2010, are acceptable. To improve, ensure all data points are accurately reported and consider a more balanced structure between the overview and details.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. The introduction clearly paraphrases the task, and the overview effectively highlights the key trends. The body paragraphs logically group the data by activity, and the use of cohesive devices (e.g., 'while', 'in detail', 'respectively') is generally smooth. Minor improvements could be made by ensuring a clearer separation of ideas within paragraphs and using a wider range of linking phrases to enhance flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is appropriate and mostly accurate, with some good attempts at paraphrasing (e.g., 'allocated time for', 'the most popular means of activity'). However, there is some repetition (e.g., 'accounted for' used multiple times) and a few awkward phrases (e.g., 'the least preferred activity was photography in the last year it was animated plays'). To improve, use a wider range of synonyms and more precise academic expressions, such as 'constituted', 'represented', or 'experienced a rise'. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of sentence structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. However, there are a few grammatical errors and punctuation issues, such as missing articles ('the proportion of elderly people' should be 'the proportion of elderly people' - actually 'the' is fine, but 'in two years :1990' has an unnecessary space before the colon), and a missing percentage sign ('from 21% to 14' should be 'to 14%'). Additionally, the phrase 'in the last year' is ambiguous and should be 'in the latter year'. Proofreading for such minor errors would improve accuracy.
