The table illustrates the results of research undertaken in Scotland with adults aged from 16-74 to assess their involvement in a variety of cultural activities over a 12-month period. Overall, it is evident that participation in any performance and crafts were the most popular for all age groups.

The highest participation in any activities was seen in the 16-24 age group, with 35% and 30% respectively doing performance and visual arts. In contrast, other activities were much lower, particularly those computer-based, at only 10%.

Turning to the older age groups, like the under 25s, the highest participation rate seen for 25-44 years olds was in performance, though this was much lower, at only 22%. A similar rate of 22% was evident for the most popular activity for the 45-74 age group, which was crafts. Again, the popularity of computers was very low for all those who were 25 plus, as was interest in writing.

Taking all age groups together, it can be seen that performance and crafts were the most popular, at over 19%, whereas cultural purchases and visual arts were slightly less popular at 16% and 15% respectively. Finally, little interest was shown in writing and computing.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and key trends in the data. It appropriately highlights the most popular activities and compares age groups. There are minor omissions, such as not mentioning the exact number of respondents (6800) and not fully detailing all data points, but these do not detract from the overall clarity and relevance. To improve, ensure all key figures are included and consider a more systematic comparison across all categories.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow, with a clear overall structure. The introduction paraphrases the task, the overview highlights key trends, and the body paragraphs logically group age groups and activities. Cohesive devices are used effectively, though a few transitions could be smoother (e.g., 'Turning to the older age groups' could be more precise). Paragraphing is managed well, and the progression of ideas is logical. Minor lapses are minimal and do not detract from overall clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is varied and appropriate for the task, with good use of synonyms (e.g., 'illustrates', 'assess', 'involvement', 'participation', 'popularity'). There is a good range of expressions for describing data (e.g., 'highest participation', 'much lower', 'similar rate', 'little interest'). The language is generally natural and precise, though a few phrases could be more sophisticated (e.g., 'like the under 25s' could be 'similar to the youngest group'). Overall, lexical control is strong with only minor inaccuracies.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of passive voice (e.g., 'it can be seen'). Punctuation is generally correct, and the majority of sentences are error-free. There are a few minor errors and awkward phrasings (e.g., 'the highest participation in any activities was seen' could be 'the highest participation in any activity was seen'; 'those computer-based' could be 'computer-based activities'), but these do not impede understanding. Overall, grammar and punctuation are used accurately with only minor lapses.
