The table delineates the information about the proportion of Scottish adults, across four age groups, who participated into various cultural activities during the former 12 months.

Overall, it is obvious that younger people were more willing to join performance and other remain activities, whereas older cohorts displayed higher contribution in cultural purchases and undertaking crafts.

Among the group (16-24 years old), performance-related activities were predominantly the most popular, with just over a third (35%). However, those who aged 45-74 displayed a sharp contradiction, for just about 17%. Although, undertaking crafts activity was primarily chose by the 45-74 cohorts, about 19%, while those aged 16-24 only just about 11%.

In terms of computer-based activity, this category attracts the least of the participants. The proportion of the 16 – 24 years old group in the computer-related activity was only 10%. Similarly, the oldest cohort was roughly 5%. In general, the total proportion of every participant that joins this activity was only 6%.

Task Response

The report adequately covers the main features of the table, highlighting key trends such as the higher participation of younger people in performance and computer-based activities, and the higher engagement of older age groups in crafts and cultural purchases. The overall comparison is clear. However, there are some omissions and minor inaccuracies: the data for the 25-44 age group is not mentioned, and some figures are slightly misreported (e.g., 'undertaking crafts' for 45-74 is stated as 19% instead of 22%, and the total for computer-based is given as 6% instead of 6% which is correct, but the phrasing could be clearer). To improve, ensure all age groups are covered and double-check specific percentages. Additionally, some phrasing is awkward (e.g., 'participated into', 'former 12 months', 'primarily chose'), which could be refined for clarity and precision.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, an overview, and body paragraphs. However, the flow is sometimes disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear referencing (e.g., 'other remain activities', 'this category attracts the least of the participants'). The paragraphing is acceptable, but the logical progression could be improved by more explicit linking between ideas and a clearer comparison across all age groups. To enhance coherence, ensure each paragraph has a clear central topic and use cohesive devices more naturally to guide the reader.

Lexical Resource

The report uses some appropriate vocabulary (e.g., 'delineates', 'predominantly', 'cohorts', 'contradiction'), but there are several inaccuracies and awkward choices (e.g., 'participated into' should be 'participated in', 'former 12 months' should be 'previous 12 months', 'primarily chose' should be 'primarily chosen', 'attracts the least of the participants' is unnatural). The range of vocabulary is adequate but not wide, and there is some repetition. To improve, use more precise and natural collocations, and vary the language used to describe trends and comparisons.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a reasonable range of sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and punctuation issues that affect clarity. Examples include 'participated into' (incorrect preposition), 'those who aged 45-74' (should be 'those aged 45-74'), 'was primarily chose' (incorrect verb form), and 'the 16 - 24 years old group' (hyphenation and article issues). Additionally, some sentences are overly complex or awkwardly phrased. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct use of prepositions, and ensure each sentence is grammatically complete and clear. Proofreading for punctuation and article usage would also be beneficial.
