The table illustrates the percentage of people in four different age groups who used three types of social media in a certain country over a 15-year period.

Overall, people aged 18-24 recorded the highest proportion of social networking users in 2025, while people aged 50 and over showed the slowest percentage of professional networking in 2010. In addition, it can be easily seen that usage rate in all three types increased significantly over a given period.

Regarding social networking, people aged 18-24 recorded by far the highest proportion, in 2010. This compared with 96% among the same age group in 2025. Social networking was less popular among elderly people, accounting for 19% and 52%, in 2010 and 2015, respectively.

Similarly, the percentage of 18-24 age group which used social media for video-sharing was significantly higher compared to other age groups. By contrast, young people accounted for 42% and 91% in 2010 and 2015, whereas people aged 35-49 recorded lower percentages, 20% and 64%. Professional networking was poplar among 25-34 age group in 2010, at 18.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting the main trends and comparing data across age groups and media types. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs. However, there are a few inaccuracies and omissions: the year '2015' is mentioned instead of '2025' in two places, and the data for the 50+ age group in professional networking is incomplete (missing the 2010 figure). Additionally, some phrasing could be more precise (e.g., 'poplar' instead of 'popular', 'slowest percentage' instead of 'lowest percentage'). To improve, ensure all years are correctly stated and all key data points are included. Overall, the response is well-organized and covers the main features, but minor lapses in accuracy and completeness prevent it from achieving a higher score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is generally well-organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The progression of ideas is logical, and the use of cohesive devices is mostly effective. However, there are some minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt transition between the social networking and video-sharing paragraphs, and the final sentence could be better linked to the preceding content. To improve, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic and that the flow between paragraphs is smooth.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary with some effective use of synonyms and paraphrasing (e.g., 'recorded', 'accounting for', 'compared with'). There are a few inaccuracies and awkward phrasings, such as 'showed the slowest percentage' (should be 'lowest percentage') and 'poplar' (should be 'popular'). Additionally, 'elderly people' is not the most appropriate term for the 50+ age group; 'older adults' or 'those aged 50 and over' would be more suitable. To achieve a higher score, aim for more precise and natural word choices throughout. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences, and generally maintains good grammatical control. However, there are several errors that affect clarity, such as 'the percentage of 18-24 age group which used' (should be 'the percentage of the 18-24 age group who used'), 'compared to' (should be 'compared with' in this context), and 'at 18' (should be 'at 18%'). Also, the phrase 'in 2010 and 2015' appears twice but should be '2010 and 2025' according to the task. To improve, proofread carefully to eliminate these minor errors and ensure accuracy in data reporting.
