The graph illustrates how the birth rates varied across China and the USA between 1920 and 2000.

Overall, two countries experienced fluctuations and downward trends in the birth rate from 1920 to 2000, with US’s figure was quite higher than China’s in almost every years of the period.

In terms of the first phase (from 1920 to 1945), there was a similar trend observed between the USA and China’s birth rate from 1920 to 1925 before China embarked on rising rapidly in 1935 with 15-year period, while the USA’s figure was about 13-year period. It was not until 1940 that China witnessed a plummet to 5-year period before keeping stably till 1945, whereas the USA’s figure dropped slightly to 12-year period in 1940 and ended up with the same figure of China’s birth rate in 1945 (5-year period).

Regarding the next phase (from 1950 to 2000), both figures started increasing significantly from 5 to 15-year period in the USA and over 20-year period in China after 5 years from 1945. Both figures witnessed downward trends from 1950 to the end of period (2000), with China’s figure was fewer than the USA’s. Although there were increases for both figures in 1995 with around 8-year period for the USA and 3-year period for China, they immediately fall down in the end of the period.

Task Response

The report provides a clear overview and covers the main trends, including fluctuations and overall downward patterns for both countries. Comparisons are made appropriately, and the structure is logical with a division into two time phases. However, there are some inaccuracies in data interpretation (e.g., referring to 'year period' instead of birth rate values) and occasional grammatical errors that affect clarity. To improve, focus on using precise data terminology and ensure grammatical accuracy for smoother readability.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report has a clear overall structure with an introduction, overview, and two main paragraphs. However, the cohesion is sometimes awkward, and the message is not always easy to follow. For example, phrases like 'with US's figure was quite higher than China's' and 'China embarked on rising rapidly in 1935 with 15-year period' are unclear. The use of 'year period' is confusing and detracts from clarity. To improve, use clearer linking words and ensure that comparisons are expressed more directly. Also, avoid repetitive phrasing and ensure that each sentence flows naturally into the next.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but limited and sometimes imprecise. Words like 'plummet', 'fluctuations', and 'downward trends' are appropriate, but the repeated use of 'year period' is awkward and unclear. There is also a lack of variety in describing changes (e.g., 'rise', 'drop', 'increase' are used repeatedly). To improve, use a wider range of synonyms and more precise terms (e.g., 'peaked at', 'declined steadily', 'remained stable'). Avoid informal or unclear expressions like 'embarked on rising'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors and awkward structures that affect clarity. For example, 'with US's figure was quite higher' (should be 'with the US figure being quite higher' or 'the US figure was quite higher'), 'China embarked on rising' (should be 'China's rate began to rise'), and 'they immediately fall down' (tense error: should be 'fell'). There is also inconsistent use of articles and prepositions. To improve, focus on subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and clearer sentence construction. Using a mix of simple and complex sentences with accurate grammar will enhance the overall quality.
