The following table chart gives information on a university survey result that asked both male and female students about the reason for their major choices.

Overall, it is evident that future career prospects and personal interest are the main reasons for male and female students, respectively.

Meanwhile, for men, parental advice and salary both make up 15% of the reasons.

Regarding female pupils, personal interest is the main major choice, making up 45%. Similar to men, 2 reasons make up the same percentage – parental advice and teacher’s recommendation at 10% both. Career prospects share 30% of the reasons, while future salary does 5% only.

Task Response

The report adequately covers the main features of the data, highlighting the key differences between male and female students' reasons for choosing their major. It provides an overall summary and makes relevant comparisons. However, there are some minor inaccuracies and awkward phrasings (e.g., 'five times bigger' is not accurate, and 'female pupils' is informal). The report could be improved by using more precise language and ensuring all data points are accurately represented. Overall, the task is addressed appropriately with only minor lapses.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized with a clear introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, but there are minor lapses, such as the phrase 'Just lower than that' which is slightly awkward and could be smoother. Paragraphing is managed well, but the second paragraph could be more clearly separated from the first to enhance readability. Overall, the message is easy to follow, but a few transitions could be refined for a more seamless flow.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and shows a good range, with terms like 'career prospects', 'personal interest', and 'salary potential'. However, there are some inaccuracies and less natural phrasing, such as 'the ones who picked out of teacher's recommendation' and 'female pupils' (which is informal). The report would benefit from more precise and natural word choices, such as 'students' instead of 'pupils' and 'chose their major based on' instead of 'picked out of'. Overall, the lexical resource is adequate but not fully sophisticated.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and comparisons. However, there are several errors and awkward phrasings, such as 'report to have chosen' (should be 'report having chosen' or 'report that they chose'), 'Just lower than that' (should be 'Slightly lower is personal interest'), and 'salary does 5% only' (should be 'salary accounts for only 5%'). Punctuation is generally correct, but these errors affect the overall accuracy. With more careful proofreading and attention to verb forms and prepositions, the grammatical accuracy could be improved.
