The table above provides the average salaries of UK citizens by collecting data from two main categories namely graduates and non-graduates. The data collection targeted people between the ages of 20 and 70. This study concludes with the mean salary for graduates being 29,900 euros and for non-graduates, 17,800 euros. Naturally, it can be devised that graduate uk citizens earn much more than non-graduates.

After close observation, a noticeable disparity could be found between salaries of the graduates group and non-graduate group, regardless of age. A graduate citizen earns atleast 1000 euros more than a non-graduate citizen.

For the age column in our table schema, each entry was spaced by a gap of 10 years. This was done to accurately capture the generalized behaviour within an age group. Rather than randomizing these periods between entries, it is much more advisable to use a fixed range to ensure standardized results.

According to the collocated data, non-graduates between the ages of 30-50 have proven to receive the highest salaries compared to the rest of the age group. For graduates, this phenomenom occurs within the 40-60 range. Surprisingly, the age division with the lowest salaries across sub sections stood at polarizing ends (youngest for graduates and oldest for non graduates)

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but suffers from significant issues regarding tone and content. A major weakness is the inclusion of meta-commentary; the writer discusses the methodology of the data collection (e.g., 'This was done to accurately capture...', 'it is much more advisable to use a fixed range...') rather than reporting the data itself. In Task 1, you must only describe the information provided, not comment on how the study was conducted or how it should have been designed. Additionally, there is a factual error regarding the currency, as the report uses 'euros' instead of the 'pounds' (£) specified in the data. To improve, focus strictly on describing the trends and making comparisons between the two groups without offering personal opinions or methodological critiques.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report suffers from significant issues regarding the purpose of an IELTS Academic Task 1. Instead of summarizing the data, the writer spends a large portion of the text discussing the methodology of the study (e.g., 'This was done to accurately capture...', 'it is much more advisable to use a fixed range...'). In Task 1, you must only report what is visible in the charts; you should never comment on the research design or offer advice on how the data was collected. To improve, focus on grouping the data logically (e.g., by age group or by salary level) and use cohesive devices to link observations rather than explaining the 'schema' of the table.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is somewhat varied, but it is often applied inappropriately for a data report. Terms like 'phenomenon', 'polarizing ends', and 'collocated data' are used in a way that feels forced or slightly inaccurate in this context. Additionally, there is a factual error in the units used (the report uses 'euros' while the task specifies '£' or pounds). Ensure that your word choices are precise and that you stick to the units provided in the prompt.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

While there is an attempt to use complex sentence structures, the grammatical control is inconsistent. There are issues with word formation (e.g., 'atleast' should be two words) and some awkward phrasing that obscures meaning. The writer should focus on mastering the use of comparative and superlative structures (e.g., 'higher than', 'the highest') to effectively describe trends and differences, as this is the core requirement of the task.
