The image depicts the consumption of fast food by Australian teenagers with numerical data points for the number of times eaten per year on the vertical axis and the year on the horizontal axis. For pizza, the values start at around 5 in 1975, reach approximately 10 in 1980, rise to about 25 in 1985, 50 in 1990, just over 80 in 1995, and plateau at 85 by 2000. Fish and chips begin at 100 in 1975, decline to about 82 in 1980, drop just below 60 in 1985, decrease further to roughly 40 by 1990, remain steady around 35 from 1995 onwards up to 2000. Hamburgers start at 10 in 1975, increase to 20 in 1980, see a significant rise to about 50 in 1985, surge to 85 in 1990, achieve approximately 92 throughout 1995 and 2000.

The illustration presents the number and three type of fast food such as pizza, fish and chips and hamburgers consumed by Australian youth from 1975 to 2000.

Overall, hamburgers remained the most common fast food for Australian teenagers. At the same time, the number of times eaten per year of pizza increased substantially, whereas fish and chips showed considerably modest decrease.

To begin with, the number of times eaten per year for hamburgers rocketed at about 10 in 1975 before peaking at approximately just over 83 in 1985. It then grew slightly to around 100 by 2000. Similarly, the figure for pizza increased dramatically, rising from about 2 in 1975 to nearly 80 at the end of the period.

By contrast, the number of times eaten per year for fish and chips decrease gradually from around 100 in 2000 to approximately 40 by 2000 and remaining the least common type of fast food chose by Australian adolescents.

Task Response

The report addresses the main trends and provides a clear overview of the data. However, there are several inaccuracies in the data reporting that affect the clarity of the response. For instance, the report states that hamburgers peaked in 1985, whereas the data shows a continuous rise until the end of the period. Additionally, there is a logical error in the final paragraph where it states fish and chips decreased from 100 in 2000 to 40 in 2000. To improve, ensure that the specific years and data points mentioned align accurately with the trends described, and double-check that the direction of change (increase vs. decrease) matches the timeline provided.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report follows a logical structure with an introduction, overview, and body paragraphs. However, the progression of ideas is occasionally interrupted by awkward phrasing. The use of cohesive devices like 'To begin with', 'Similarly', and 'By contrast' is appropriate, but the transition between the overview and the details could be smoother. Ensure that each paragraph has a clear central topic and that the relationship between sentences is logically sound.

Lexical Resource

You have attempted to use a variety of vocabulary to describe trends (e.g., 'rocketed', 'peaking', 'increased dramatically'). However, there are several errors in word choice and formation, such as 'three type' instead of 'three types' and 'fast food chose' instead of 'fast food chosen'. To improve, focus on the correct use of noun-adjective combinations and ensure that the words used to describe trends are applied accurately to the context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a mix of simple and complex structures, but grammatical errors are frequent and sometimes impede clarity. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'fish and chips decrease' instead of 'decreased'), tense consistency (mixing present and past tense when describing historical data), and sentence structure (e.g., the final sentence is a fragment/run-on). Aim for greater control over past tense usage when describing completed time periods and ensure that all sentences are grammatically complete.
