Task Response

The report attempts to address the task but suffers from significant inaccuracies regarding the data provided. There is a major discrepancy between the report and the visual description: the report mentions 'amateur dramatics,' an activity not present in the data, and provides figures that contradict the trends shown for other activities (such as table tennis and musical performances). While the structure includes an introduction and body paragraphs, the core requirement of accurately reporting the main features is not met due to these factual errors. To improve, ensure that every activity mentioned is actually present in the graph and that the numerical trends described align closely with the provided data.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of the report is somewhat disjointed. While you attempt to group information into paragraphs, the logical flow between sentences is weak. Some transitions, such as 'Thus' and 'Nevertheless', are used incorrectly, which can confuse the reader. To improve, ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that cohesive devices are used to show actual relationships (e.g., contrast, similarity, or cause-and-effect) between the data points.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is quite limited and repetitive. There are several instances of awkward phrasing, such as 'numbers of the people' and 'had between 30 and 40 number of the participants'. Additionally, there are spelling errors like 'infromation'. To reach a higher band, try to use a wider variety of synonyms for 'show' (e.g., depict, illustrate, reveal) and 'increase/decrease' (e.g., climbed, plummeted, fluctuated), and ensure you use precise collocations.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors that impact the clarity of the report. Issues include incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'have steadily growth' instead of 'showed steady growth'), article errors, and awkward sentence structures. There is also a lack of complex sentence structures. Focus on mastering subject-verb agreement and the correct use of noun phrases to describe trends (e.g., 'a steady increase' vs 'increased steadily').
