The table delineates the proportion of Scottish adults across four age groups who participated in various cultural activities over the previous 12 months.

Overall, it is clear that younger people were more inclined to engage in performance-related activities, whereas older cohorts showed higher participation in cultural purchases and crafts.

Among the 16-24 age group, performance-related activities were the most popular, with just over a third (35%) participating. In contrast, those aged 45-74 displayed a sharp difference, with only 17% participation. Conversely, undertaking crafts was chosen primarily by the 45-74 age group at about 19%, while only 11% of the 16-24 age group engaged in this activity.

In terms of computer-based activities, this category attracted the least participation. The proportion of the 16-24 age group in computer-related activities was only 10%, while the oldest cohort was roughly 5%. Overall, only 6% of all participants engaged in this activity.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and key comparisons across age groups. It accurately highlights the main trends, such as the higher participation of younger adults in performance activities and the older group's preference for crafts. The data is generally accurate, though there are minor inaccuracies (e.g., stating 19% for crafts in the 45-74 group, while the visual description indicates 22%). The report could be improved by including more specific data for all categories and age groups, and by ensuring all figures are precisely reported. Overall, the response is well-structured, clear, and meets the task requirements with only minor omissions. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and easy to follow. It begins with a clear introduction, provides an overall summary, and then details specific age groups and activities. The use of cohesive devices such as 'In contrast' and 'Conversely' helps to link ideas. However, the final paragraph could be more smoothly integrated with the rest of the report, and the overall structure could be enhanced by explicitly comparing more age groups and activities. Minor lapses in cohesion are present but do not impede understanding.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and varied, with terms like 'delineates', 'inclined to engage', 'cohorts', and 'displayed a sharp difference'. The report demonstrates good control of lexical features. To reach a higher band, consider using even more precise and sophisticated vocabulary, such as 'notably', 'whereas', and 'in contrast to', and ensure that all word choices are natural and accurate. There is room for a wider range of synonyms to avoid repetition.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. There are no significant grammar errors, and punctuation is used correctly. To achieve a higher score, the report could incorporate a wider variety of sentence structures, such as using more passive constructions or conditional forms, and ensure that all comparisons are grammatically parallel. Overall, the grammar is accurate and controlled.
