The bar chart illustrates the proportion of British citizens donating for charity by various age groups in the years 1990 and 2010.

Overall, it can be seen that while more people aged between 18 to 36 gave money to charity in 1990, the elder generation aged between 51 to above 65 donated money for these organizations more frequently in 2010.

Among citizens aged between 18-25, approximately 6% of individuals gave money to charity 2010 while the same group showed a 17% participation rate in the same event in 1990. Although both years showed increase, roughly 31% of people aged 26 to 35 in 1990 gave money for people in need, compared to 24% in 2010.

Performing the highest dataset in the chart, the percentage of citizens who donated to charity aged between 36-50 in 1990 increased up to 42%, while the number increased to 35% of the same aged peers in 2010. People aged 51 to 65 in 2010 surpassed the same age group in 1990 with 37% to 35%, respectively. Although the participation to the donation dropped to 35% for individuals aged more than 65 in 2010, it still managed to perform higher compared to same age group which dropped to 32% in 1990.

Task Response

The report attempts to address the task and covers the main age groups, but there are significant issues with data accuracy and logical consistency. Several sentences contain contradictory information; for example, the report states that participation 'increased' when the figures actually decreased, and it describes trends that do not align with the provided data (e.g., stating the 65+ group dropped in 2010 when the data suggests an increase). To improve, ensure that every comparison of numbers is logically consistent with the direction of change (increase vs. decrease) and double-check that the figures cited accurately reflect the trends described.

Coherence & Cohesion

The organization of ideas is somewhat logical, but the progression is hindered by confusing phrasing and contradictory statements. For example, in the third paragraph, you state 'Although both years showed increase', which contradicts the data you provided immediately before and after (where figures actually decreased). To improve, ensure that your cohesive devices (like 'although' or 'while') accurately reflect the relationship between the data points you are comparing. Use clearer transitions to guide the reader through the different age groups.

Lexical Resource

There is an attempt to use varied vocabulary (e.g., 'proportion', 'participation rate', 'surpassed'), but many word choices are inaccurate or awkward. Phrases such as 'Performing the highest dataset' or 'the same aged peers' are not natural in an academic report. Additionally, using 'event' to describe charitable giving is inappropriate. Focus on learning collocations related to data description, such as 'recorded a figure of', 'accounted for', or 'reached a peak of'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that impact clarity. There are issues with preposition usage (e.g., 'donating for charity' instead of 'donating to charity') and sentence structure. Some sentences are confusingly constructed, such as the one beginning with 'Performing the highest dataset...', which lacks a clear subject. Work on subject-verb agreement and ensure that your complex sentence structures (using 'while' or 'although') are grammatically sound and logically consistent with the facts presented.
