The tables illustrate population change in New York city in overall and its five districts, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island over a period of two hundred years. It is clear that Manhattan was the most populated district in the years 1800 and 1900, hosting more than 50% of citizens. However, other four districts became more popular in the year 2000.

In 1800, about 60 thousands people lived in Manhattan, leaving the other four districts with less than a quarter of the New York population. By the year 1900, the amount of people grew for over than 3 million, with that change, Manhattan and the other districts hosted 54% and 46% of the population respectively, making them almost even.

In 2000 about 8 million people were living in New York and Manhattan stopped being the most popular district with only 19% of the population. Interestingly, the amount of people living in Manhattan declined during the 1900s, despite the overall increase in New York. Four other distrcist gained almost 5 million people in 1900s, now hosting more that 80% of new yorkers.

Task Response

The report adequately covers the main features of the data, highlighting the key trend of Manhattan's declining share of the population and the growth of the other districts. It makes relevant comparisons between the districts and across the time periods. However, there are some minor omissions and inaccuracies, such as not mentioning the specific districts by name (Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island) and a slight error in the percentage for 1800 (the report says 'less than a quarter' but the data shows 24%, which is correct, but the phrasing could be clearer). Additionally, the report could have included more precise figures for the other districts in 2000. Overall, the response is well-structured and addresses the task appropriately, but a few lapses in detail and precision prevent it from achieving a higher score.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is logically organized and the message is generally easy to follow. The introduction clearly states the topic, and the body paragraphs are divided by time periods, which helps the reader. However, there are some minor lapses in cohesion, such as the abrupt transition between the second and third paragraphs, and the final sentence could be more smoothly linked to the preceding information. The use of cohesive devices is adequate but could be more varied and precise.

Lexical Resource

The report uses a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, such as 'illustrate', 'hosting', 'declined', and 'overall increase'. There is some repetition of words like 'popular' and 'amount', which could be replaced with more precise terms (e.g., 'populous', 'figure', 'number'). The phrasing is generally clear, but some expressions are slightly informal or imprecise (e.g., 'became more popular', 'almost even'). Overall, the lexical resource is adequate but lacks the sophistication and flexibility of a higher band score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that affect clarity. For example, 'the amount of people grew for over than 3 million' should be 'the population grew to over 3 million', and 'Four other distrcist gained' contains a spelling error and should be 'The other four districts gained'. Additionally, 'more that 80%' should be 'more than 80%'. These errors, while not impeding overall understanding, are noticeable and reduce the accuracy and control expected at higher bands. More careful proofreading and attention to grammatical accuracy are needed.
