The table compares the number of participants in two different age groups in marathons in a particular country from 2008 to 2012.

Overall, the number of runners in each group rose each year, and the number of joiners in the age bracket from 18 to 39 was always higher than the other.

Throughout the period, the number of people in the 18-39 age group started at 1200, then it increased gradually by 150 additional members each year, except from 2010 to 2011, when it rose by only 100 runners and ended up with 1750 members in 2012. The older age group followed a narrower trend. At the beginning of the period, this group had 800 runners and it rose consistently by 50 people in each of the three years after. At the end of the period, noticeably it had 200 more runners and this group contained 1050 joiners in total. Even though this age group had a considerable increase, the younger age group had one too. Due to that, the gap between these two was not shortened and the 18-39 age group continually stood out.

Thanks to the increase of the two groups, the total number of participants in the marathon grew dramatically each year and rose nearly half as much again as its figure. In 2008, this sport had 2000 members, then it rose by 200 runners in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, it experienced the smallest increase, exceeding only 150 members. In contrast, the joiners in 2012 had a significant growth of 250 members and ended up with 2800 members.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by presenting an overview and key trends, with appropriate comparisons between the two age groups and across the years. The data is mostly accurate, and the structure is clear. Minor inaccuracies (e.g., the increase in the 40+ group from 2011 to 2012 is 100, not 200) and some awkward phrasing (e.g., 'joiners', 'rose nearly half as much again as its figure') are present but do not detract significantly from the overall clarity. To improve, ensure precise data reporting and use more formal, concise language.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized and generally easy to follow. The introduction clearly states the purpose, and the overview effectively summarizes the main trends. The body paragraphs are logically structured, with the first focusing on the two age groups and the second on the total participants. However, there are minor lapses in cohesion, such as the phrase 'the other' in the overview being slightly vague, and the transition between the two body paragraphs could be smoother. Additionally, the final sentence of the first body paragraph ('Due to that...') could be more clearly linked to the preceding information. Overall, the paragraphing is managed well, but a few cohesive devices could be refined for a more seamless flow.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary with some effective and natural choices, such as 'bracket,' 'narrower trend,' 'considerable increase,' and 'stood out.' There is also good use of synonyms for 'increase' (e.g., 'rose,' 'grew,' 'experienced a significant growth'). However, there are a few instances of less precise or slightly awkward phrasing, such as 'joiners' (which is informal and not commonly used in this context) and 'rose nearly half as much again as its figure' (which is unclear and could be expressed more simply). The lexical resource is strong, but a more formal and precise word choice would elevate the report to a higher band. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report shows a good range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences and appropriate use of tenses. For example, 'it increased gradually by 150 additional members each year' and 'the gap between these two was not shortened' demonstrate control. There are no significant grammar errors, and punctuation is used correctly. However, there are a few minor issues, such as the phrase 'the number of joiners in the age bracket from 18 to 39 was always higher than the other' where 'the other' is slightly ambiguous, and 'it rose consistently by 50 people in each of the three years after' could be more clearly phrased. Overall, the grammar is accurate and varied, but a few sentences could be refined for greater clarity and precision.
