The tables compare feedback from club members and the general public regarding three aspects of a new theatre: production quality, information about the plays to the public, and facilities.

Overall, the vast majority of respondents across both groups gave highly positive ratings, with information to the public receiving the highest praise. Conversely, only a small percentage of those surveyed expressed dissatisfaction with any of the categories, with facilities recording the highest negative rating.

In terms of specific trends, all categories received relatively similar feedback percentages from club members, with figures hovering around 73%. The general public’s opinion, however, exhibited a stark disparity between categories. Information about the performances to the public registered the highest proportions at a staggering 88%. Production quality was rated highly by 67% of respondents, while facilities accounted for the smallest percentage at 55% in this group.

Shifting the focus to less favourable feedback, the proportions of ‘satisfactory’ and ‘poor’ ratings were predictably minimal. While the production quality recorded fairly similar percentages for the satisfactory level at 17% and 18% from club members and the general public respectively, 23% of club members gave satisfactory feedback to the information about the plays to the public and facilities. In contrast, 10% and 19% of the general public rated the information to the public and facilities as satisfactory. Negative feedback constituted a tiny fraction of the overall data, with most figures below 15% except facilities, which received a poor rating by 26% of the general public.

Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by summarizing the main features of the data and making relevant comparisons between the two groups. The overall structure is clear, with an introduction, an overview, and detailed paragraphs. The key trends are identified, such as the high positive ratings and the notable difference in facilities ratings. However, there are a few minor inaccuracies and omissions, such as the claim that club members' feedback 'hovered around 73%' which is not entirely precise for all categories, and the omission of specific percentages for club members' 'excellent' ratings in the detailed comparison. The language is generally appropriate and the comparisons are relevant. To improve, ensure that all numerical references are accurate and that the overview captures the most salient points without overgeneralization.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-structured and easy to follow. The introduction clearly states the purpose, and the overview effectively summarises the main trends. The body paragraphs are logically organised, with a clear focus on comparing the two groups. The use of cohesive devices such as 'overall', 'in terms of', and 'shifting the focus' helps guide the reader smoothly. However, there is a slight lapse in coherence in the third paragraph where the discussion of 'satisfactory' and 'poor' ratings could be more clearly separated from the positive trends. Consider using clearer topic sentences to distinguish between different aspects of the data.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is varied and appropriate for the task. Words and phrases like 'vast majority', 'highly positive ratings', 'stark disparity', 'staggering', and 'predictably minimal' demonstrate a good range and natural control. The report avoids repetition and uses synonyms effectively. To reach a band 9, you could incorporate even more sophisticated and precise terms, such as 'overwhelmingly positive' or 'notable divergence', and ensure that all lexical choices are perfectly natural in context. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report demonstrates a wide range of grammatical structures, including complex sentences with subordinate clauses (e.g., 'While the production quality recorded...'), and appropriate use of passive voice. Punctuation is generally correct. There are only minor errors or phrasing issues, such as 'the proportions of 'satisfactory' and 'poor' ratings were predictably minimal' which could be more precisely expressed. To achieve a band 9, aim for flawless accuracy and even greater flexibility in sentence construction, ensuring every sentence is perfectly formed and natural.
